You need crayons, glue, a blow-dryer and as I learned the hard way...a plastic fork, lighters and an extra set of hands!
Make sure you cover a large area with paper towels or newspaper...I ended up adding way more paper towels then this! Melted crayon was everywhere! Make sure you wear an old t-shirt as well. (I probably made this way messier then its supposed to be!)
Glue the crayons on the pumpkin. You can do this as you go or glue them on all at once.
It was also really easy to use a fork to hold the crayon in place and once it started melting we would use a lighter. The hair dryer made the wax fly everywhere!
Don't mind the mess...we turned it into a wine/pizza/craft night!
Ta-da!
Other pumpkins we painted

Super creative idea. I always wondered how realistic the blow dryer would be? The lighter looks a whole lot less messy! Totes agree, a little sparkle would look good on one of the others.
