    Cover the surface you will be working on in newspaper. Then, turn the blow dryer on and bring it towards the canvas. Blow hot air down on the crayons. 

  4. Tip!

    The crayons should begin to melt! If they don’t, raise the temperature of the blow dryer and bring it closer towards the canvas.
