Stars and Stripes

I have been asked back to Little Scrap Pieces as a guest designer! The projects I did were quite simple, yet I think very cool.

 This is what is call crayon art. It is very simple to do. Just hot glue some crayons to a canvas and apply heat. Be careful though, the wax tends to splatter if you aren't careful.

This wreath was very fun! The pain chips are from Wal-Mart. I think I cleaned them out of red, white and blue! The star was made using the cricut cartridge 3D ornaments and then hot glued to the wreath. It is very fun to make. I think if I make another one though, I won't use so many pain chips.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Thanks for stopping by.
