Shared

Leaves aren't the only things that can change colors this time of year! After all, who doesn't love bright and colorful DIY crafts, especially in the fall? This melted crayon pumpkin is the perfect combination of a classic autumn icon with a beautiful splash of rainbow colors.

It's dead simple to make, and you probably have most of the supplies you need on hand. Just remove the paper from a handful of brightly colored crayons and hot-glue them around the top of a nice white pumpkin. Hit them with a blast of hot air from your blow dryer and watch the colors run! It's a great craft to do with the kids, or just to add a splash of color to your fall-themed decor!
