Make something small that you can hold in your hand with readily available materials.
__Ok, so I decided to make dinosaur cards, but experiment with using crayons and then heating the drawing(s) to alter the texture.
First Josie and I tried microwaving the crayons, but this didn't really do anything.
Solution! Ironing the drawings (with a wax paper cover)!


Attempt1:

Apparently, the rug is meltable. I didn't feel like pulling out the ironing board. CHAGRIN!
And, yes, it is now fused to the rug. Sigh.










Attempt2: 

I didn't brush off the extra crayon bits beforehand. (I blame my extreme distress.) I actually like the T-Rex better. 
Interesting how the colors melted, though. 
I think that next time parchment paper will be better than wax paper.
Also, ironing boards will be better than rugs.
