CIY Staff Tips:
- These crafts include the use of an iron, a craft knife, and our Crayola Crayon Melter. Adult assistance required.
- A pencil sharpener will work if you don’t have a crayon sharpener on hand.
- Use sandpaper with a fine grit for best results when making your Crayon Art T-Shirt.
- Crayon Letter Decoration can also be displayed in a shadow box!
- For additional tips and tricks on how to use the Crayola Melter, reference the included instruction sheet.
- If using wrapped crayons, use the label cutter included with the Crayon Melter to unwrap.
- When color begins to run out in your Crayon Melter, add more crayons to the unit and wait approximately 1 minute for new crayons to melt.
