Tardis Crayon Melt Art

This was actually kinda fun :) It took hours to melt the crayons, but it's interesting so it doesn't get boring like you think it might.

I got a Tardis blue presentation board, because they didn't have any foam boards of the right color. I then set out the crayons I wanted to used from a box of old ones we had sitting around the house. Then I set them in the order I wanted at the top to make sure I had enough. 

After this you simply pick up each crayon, apply hot glue, and stick it to the board. To get the Tardis (but this would work with any basic shape) I made a square of painters tape. One layer of tape perpendicular to the other. I then used a picture I got off google and an exacto knife to cut the tape into a tardis shape. 

Then simply attach the shape anywhere you want it on the board and begin melting crayons.
I found that the completely unwrapped crayons melted the fastest, but also fell off toward the end.

While the crayons are still soft, peel the tape off, and TADAA!!! I hope you have fun =) I got the basic idea of the technique here 

This is mine =)
