Glue-Lined Landscapes

Why

Create bold and beautiful designs with glue and Crayola Twistables® Crayons. You’ll be amazed to find hidden talent with this easy, unique 3-D project!


Steps

1. Look outside. What do you see? Hills? Mountains? Houses? Imagine how you can use wavy lines, bright colors, and simple shapes to create a picture.

2. Sketch your picture with Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils on paper. Just erase if you change your mind.

3. With your sketch as a guide, use Crayola School Glue to draw your lines on black construction paper or foam board. Air-dry the glue overnight. It will dry clear.

4. Use a heavy layer of Crayola Twistables Crayons, Crayons, or Construction Paper Crayons to fill the spaces between the black lines that show through the glue. Lightly polish the color with a soft tissue.
