Melting Crayon Between Cling Film

I first discovered this technique when I visited the Embroiders Guild Fair in North Wales. I loved the effect that it creates and the way that each piece is unique.


To do this technique you will need: 
- Crayons
- Cling Film
- Greaseproof paper
- Iron
- Scissors

Step 1:
Get 2 pieces of greaseproof paper (enough to cover the cling film) and place to one side. 

Step 2:
Cut 2 pieces of cling film to the size you would like for the sample.

Step 3:
Cut small pieces of crayon onto the one of the pieces of cling film using the scissors. Use as many colours as you like. 

Step 4:
Once you have done adding the crayon lay the other piece of cling film on top. Then place the design between the two sheets of greaseproof paper and place onto the ironing board. 

Step 5: 
You can then iron over the greaseproof paper in till the crayon melts. Once you are satisfied that the crayon has melts, leave to one side to cool down.
