London 1920 (DIY)

Hi Guys!

So, I have a board on my pinterest account that has a bunch of DIY stuff. Well, I plan to do it myself. Anyways, I've decided to post all (or most) of the things I make on here. With that, here is project one..

I had a blank canvas. I used regular duct tape. I then, cut the duct tape twice, making thinner strands. The "D" was somewhat tricky but, I angled the strips of duct tape downward. If you are attempting this.. make sure everything is somewhat even. Also, the duct tape would stick to the canvas but it also was easy to remove while positioning the letters.

I then decided to add "1920" to the bottom of the canvas. Use the same process you used for the letters, just make the strands smaller.

I then, broke the crayons in half (I only had one box) and taped them to the canvas. By the way, I had trouble with the crayons staying in place so, I put a long strand of white duct tape over the crayons.

I started on the left side of the canvas with a blow dryer and slowly worked my way to the right. Put the dryer on high. The crayons with the points will give off a dripping like pattern onto the canvas. The other crayons (even the pointed ones after awhile) will start gushing out color. Some of the letters did have problems sticking after some time.. I just kept adding tape. Also, its harder for the colors to reach the "1920" so, I ended up taking a purple crayon in one hand and the dryer in the other.

The finished product should look something like this. keep in mind, that the weird texture where the letters were is left over "stickiness" from the actual duct tape. However, I like the look and it would be hard to get off. Make sure you peel the tape off kinda slow.

Hope you have fun.. I know I did!

Best of Luck,
