Tips:

Depending on if you’re using a plastic or real pumpkin, different glues might work best. I used a real pumpkin & found halfway through that Super Glue was my best option. For a plastic option, I’ve found a hot glue gun works best.

Depending on the wax & texture of your crayon you may find it hard to get the glue to stick. Try different glues & crayons until you find the best combo for you. (My combo: real pumpkin, Super Glue, & Crayola crayons)

Line work area with paper towel or newspaper–these crayons will splatter all over your table!

When using the blow dryer I used low heat & it took about 30 seconds to 1 minute for each crayon to melt completely. Angling the blow dryer different ways lets the paint splatter all over your pumpkin!

    Love this idea…do they sell just fall colors in a box? If not here I come $1 store so I can be selective with my colors.
