Crayons make a whimsical subject for a
teacher’s gift or even a fun mug or pencil
holder for your family! In order to
recreate crayons, we use two shades of
the same color; one for the crayon and a
slightly lighter shade for the paper
wrapper. Add the word CRAYON to your
wrapper, if you are so inclined and/or
talented! Directions for this project are
listed after the list of paint colors.

SUPPLIES:

Tin Man Polar Bear
Mochachino Happy Trails
Orange Crush Orange Peel
Beboppin Blue Galaxy
Double Mint Hinto O Mint

Simply Cinnamon Red Rover
Golden Retriever Old Yeller
Cotton Candy Pretty in Pink
DIRECTIONS:
Basecoat your mug(3 coats of color) on the outside with Lime Ricky, and on the inside
with Funfetti.
It takes a little time to draw your pencil margins, but you will be glad those lines are
there when you go in with color! With a ruler and pencil, give yourself horizontal
margins at the top and on the bottom.
You will need a line for the tip of your crayons, one for the top and bottom of the
crayon wrapper, and , finally, one low margin line for the bottom of the crayons.
Then, you can go ahead and draw vertical lines lightly that are about ½” wide. These
will become your crayons. Don’t worry; all your pencil lines will burn off in the kiln!
This is a free hand project from here on out! Use simple triangles as the tops of your
crayon, or give your triangle a shoulder just above the wrapper, if you want it to look
more realistic. You’re the artist; you decide!
Be sure to do 3 coats of crayon colors to get a nice deep shade. When all crayons are
completed, you will want a tiny paint brush or a writer for the black details of your
crayons. Refer to project photo for black design elements.
