How to Get Great Results with Crayola Crayons

[@MsSams-nc9dp]

Jennifer and Steve, I absolutely love the way you two laugh with each other. Its a breath of fresh air!

[@lblack1961]

The test is amusing, because I have "side eyed" any crayon that isn't Crayola for YEARS (five decades, plus, to be exact...lol). This made me happy :-)

[@shanonporter4041]

You two are soo funny. Glad to see some couples still do have fun!! 😂❤

[@amysuewest3826]

I already loved my Crayons, but now I am so excited to try the Vaseline with them and the hair dryer. You are so much fun. Steve and yourself are so much fun to watch. Thanks for all the super duper tips and ideas. :) Amy in Wisconsin

[@65leapfrog]

I love watching you color, very relaxing, and your nails always look so pretty!

[@ColoringBliss]

Thank you! I am about to put some cute 4th of July nails on for today’s event 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

I love the interaction between you both. Really enjoyed this video

[@LEARNINGRELATIONSHIPWITHGOD]

Didn’t bum me out at all! Gave me insight on your heart, which seems so compassionate. Your perspective on these experiences have given me new perspective. One of God's life lessons...to learn to be better people. I too have had terrible experiences as a child and would tell my little girl now just what you’ve suggested! God uses us as tools in His plans. Thanks once again!

[@ColoringBliss]

Love you and this comment! Thanks so much for

[@grsmith38]

Omg came for the crayon hacks. Stayed for the amazing chemistry with her and her husband.

[@brawyn777]

awwwww what a beautiful little girl you have she is so busy watching u, great video,

[@olivia_og05]

I just came across my 14 year old crayola crayons but I was kinda disappointed because they were dry and I got so scared. BUT BUT watching this video and trying the Vaseline trick literally gave my old crayons life!! I am so so so happy. 7yo version of me is jumping rn. Thank you!!❤

[@deirdreromer9738]

Beautiful as always Jennifer

[@lisa0j]

Wow that was so much fun! I got a 64 pack of crayola from local store (sooo cheap) and tried them out on my horrible cartridge paper (which is so common here in NZ). I found the dipping into petroleum jelly was awesome and I managed to get a blend, AND cover the white tooth with the wax pigment. Soo cool. I'm going to try a whole picture with this new technique

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Love when you two get the giggles!

[@aptwalker2009]

Don't burn the husband! Great advice :) This was fun and a great lesson on heating your paper for crayon use. I love encaustic painting and I imagine you would also.

[@joycevaughn8522]

Hi Steve and Jennifer I really enjoy this video the things we can try now withe crayons wouldn't have when we were children

[@ColoringBliss]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I had so much fun and I can’t believe how much I want to color with crayons right now 😂

[@amassieart]

Never thought about using blending stumps of crayon, very cool

[@ColoringBliss]

I agree! That was a really cool suggestion and fun discovery. We learned so much last night!

[@jewelllasleymoebus3457]

I have 3 granddaughters of various ages - 8-18 yrs old- who love art like I do, so I want to try these techniques (always with Crayolas) & my hairdryer. As soon as the pandemic is over & we can get together. In the meantime I’m turning them on to your You-Tube channel. I love your presentations & your fun spirit. It’s like having a conversation with a girlfriend. I couldn’t get my husband to try any of these things (He’s an electric engineer) but he Likes to watch me do it like your Steve

[@kristinacolors1997]

I love the heat coloring I think my kiddos would love making "soup" as you called it ....That is so cool I loved your reaction

[@rosaliezatser1980]

Love the Canadian terms you are reminding many who have so many different expressions ....I relate to this issue which causes friction for some in the school setting.

[@ColoringBliss]

Good to know I wasn’t the only one.

[@gamestrMAMA]

My first time watching... Love the half good ideas... I tell my husband that too... And he too is so enthusiastic when telling me them... I love it🤣😂😅

[@lblack1961]

To create heat on a surface while working with crayons: What about using a heating mat that gardeners/growers use to maintain a steady temperature for seeds and seedlings?

[@winterwolf5813]

You guys are amazing! Hugs

[@chaiscraftyadventures]

Thanks for showing this, I love doing encaustic. Also they now have a Crayola Tool you can color with.

[@JaxFLGirl1222]

That was so much fun sorry I missed it live. 😀

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Using the petroleum jelly w/ the crayons will help! I tried crayons over the weekend, but my hand cramped badly trying to get the color deep enough to blend. This looks marvelous!

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

WOW! So cool!

[@juanitaweston6131]

Beautiful work. How do I download the printable

[@LilGamez21]

Thanks for the tips. I used petroleum jelly it worked nicely.

[@ColoringBliss]

Yay! Glad I could help

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Of course we love you when you are silly. Love is unconditional.

[@ShannonCoppers]

I just found the best crayons on Amazon. They are called Not your Ordinary Crayons by NOYO. You get 36 twistable crayons for 16 dollars. It's 3 in one it can be a crayon. It can be a watercolor. And it can be a pastel. So far I like them as crayons the best. I love how smooth they are compared to regular crayons. I highly recommend them. They remind me of neo 2s. But they have a thicker core. Are smoother in their natural state. And not as vivid as watercolors. But you can layer. And you can add prismacolors on top of the watercolor for shading :-) sorry this was so long. But I hope you see this have a wonderful day!

[@MrsNess67]

Hi Jennifer what about putting the pencils in a pencil extender then cover it with paper.

[@mrwestonizer]

I use the crayola no mess magic paper markers to blend or smooth the crayons! Try it out!

[@craftygirl17]

Love your colouring looks so good, the blending is awesome. I've joined your channel

[@rhiannonsweeet]

Thank you, for the blending tip. I would of never thought of doing that. But does the jelly make the color dull after the jelly absorbed into paper? And if you rub on it like you would with pastels. Does it come off?

[@craftygirl17]

Looks great, I would try crayons.

[@ちもちも-f7p]

Thanks for video I’m 21 that collecting crayons tho n I have no idea what to drawing 🖍

[@marilynvires1456]

Question: I am a quilter and am wondering about coloring on fabric? Have you tried that?

[@deannareti7001]

Love you so much and Steve Deanna from New Zealand

[@angeluser4699]

how dose it look with the gel pens

[@shauntayecooper9489]

I am new to your channel I love it a lot

[@elainewines1134]

This video was great!

[@shirleyblair7889]

I think your number 5 yellow would work good on the cone to

[@alexandragizmo7351]

Orange and brown is good for the cone 😁and a little yellow

[@danettetrostle7173]

I agree with dandelion...not cool! That was fun to watch with your heat gun.. that worked great😎

[@alem1952]

I love this video! 🖤🖍️ And your nails! 😍 💅 Thanks for sharing your tips

[@LEARNINGRELATIONSHIPWITHGOD]

You just turned on your blow dryer on high, and my cat Bella jumped up on my bed really fast and is starring at the iPad! 😂😂

[@faigie2002]

Please, what color/brand is on your index fingers?

[@PursuingHeaven]

I actually love both my twistables but when I use them I keep it very simple, I don't worry as much about perfect shading and gradients but I do get pretty good results with them both. I think Prisma should figure out how to put their cores in a twistable that self sharpens... we all would buy it.

[@megapookie762]

Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy gaaaaaaawwwwddddd I luuuuuuuv ur doggiieeeeeeeee! Subscribed!

[@claudettemonty4077]

Did you ever try this testing on cotton fabric??

[@craftycounselor2024]

Thank you for sharing your aquaphor tip! I never knew what a difference it could make.

[@ColoringBliss]

Amazing how learning one quick idea can change your coloring! Have fun!!

[@aimeeyoung5058]

My daughter works at the leatherbys in draper and youre right about the smell! its very odd!

[@candyselph1264]

Does it bleed throu to the back

[@lynnharris2362]

It’s awesome that your husband will be coloring

[@craftygirl17]

Yes we call them runners, that's the Canadian way eh😉 You had a great friend, that stuck up for you.

[@lauras4472]

Canadian here too. Running shoes. Maybe it’s a Quebec thing?

[@LEARNINGRELATIONSHIPWITHGOD]

Glisten with gel pens...is that how you can get a blend? Thank you, I learn so much from you!

[@ColoringBliss]

Yes! I have a whole play list of videos about gel pens and several of them feature me using glycerin. So much fun

[@BeardedBarley1]

It would be interesting to see what happens with different types of colored pencils after heating the paper.

[@craftygirl17]

I hear you, I'm from Canada too, never new others called them coloured pencils. I've always called them pencil crayons and always will🙂

[@FernCurtis]

Very interesting, especially your experiment at the end with using heat with the crayons! Makes me wonder if it would work with the Cra-z-Art pencils. I'm not crazy about those either. I like the color Wildfire, but the rest are just not very pigmented and I can't get many layers with them. Hmmm....maybe some experimenting is called for! 😊

[@morticiabakken]

The love between you is like two teenagers 😍

[@winterwolf5813]

Morticia B I totally agree!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Can you mix crayons and colored pencils?

[@ColoringBliss]

I’m sure you can but I’ve never tried. Let me know if you try it.

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

It's interesting how we use different words for things here inn the UK. Here sneakers are called trainers and color is spelt colour. In the part of the UK that I'm from we don't pronounce our T's so water is wa'er 😂.

[@jeanmariemoore74]

Beautiful

[@sunnyquinn3888]

PUPPY! I would be right there for cheese too! 🧀 🐶

[@berryfairy68]

I love Canada and Canadians 😊

[@ColoringBliss]

🇨🇦❤️💛❤️💛

[@annadriscoll8994]

Hi jennifer im fr Canada ilove to color n paint

[@PursuingHeaven]

Jennifer and Steve modeling how to disagree on camera and still have fun...this was hilarious

[@dellarogers3216]

The erasers that are put on the ends of #2 pencils on school would work really well. A pile of blue capped and yellow capped for example. Would give you a very fair way to compare.

[@melenaschneider7652]

I wonder if you could use the heat technique with Prismacolor Premier color pencils. They are a wax base, even though there is not nearly as much wax as in a crayon. I might just try it and let you know. Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook so I'll just have to make a comment here. That was fun. I missed the live video as I was busy then, but I'll try and be here for the live show with Steve. :-D I wouldn't want to miss that.

[@ColoringBliss]

Good idea to try the heat with our pencils. I’m glad you were able to watch the recorded event...we had so much fun

[@bluefinger02]

Once I covered my pencils with straws and gave to my husband and tell him to compare and make notes (about 15 different kinds) I had all kinds of budget ones and few open stock expensive ones including Holbein, I told him there is Holbein among them. He knew I wanted to get a set and still contemplating to make it happen. He picked Holbein for the best feel and feela was one of the top five (I don’t remember all) he said Holbein feels like most quality product. 😏 I really hope you do the blind pencil comparison segment. You can wrap with paper to make barrels the same size or something. That would be so much fun! 😘

[@ColoringBliss]

That’s awesome that you did the test at home. I really want to do it. Thanks for sharing

[@bluefinger02]

That heat gun trick is almost like “encaustic art”! 😊😊😊

[@ColoringBliss]

I really need to learn about this encaustic art that everyone is mentioning. I’m so curious

[@terilew1]

in case no one has mentioned it you can buy replacement nibs for the posca pens and you can refill the pens if you are careful. I just refilled my white posca pen with white acrylic tube paint, just thin it out with water first. I did make a bit of a mess though, lol.

[@danyelhudon458]

Petroleum with mini-twistable crayons works (as background) well with oils pastel on 100% coton paper with more 300gsm with Polychromos colours pencils on the top for realistic portraits

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Anyone in Florida want to have a coloring date? I am in central Florida and I have a studio and loads of coloring medium.

[@s.e.hebert7307]

Complicated plans = good Art-Science :-)

[@deannareti7001]

You 2 are Hardcaseslol😅😅❤️❤️😇😇

[@gaylefelter9117]

Dear Friends, If Steve is going to color, will Rose handle the Camera? LOL Gayle in New Jersey 🙍‍♀️🕊🌿🙏🏻

[@brandytaylor1986.]

Aww puppy is cute all gettin* up to the camera.. ps.. my dogs love cheese aswell. One of them we can’t give much cheese cus he gets constipated. Lol ps. I love. Cheese

[@TheTinkerbell0522]

I tried it with vaseline and I love how the picture came out

[@PursuingHeaven]

Jennifer: I need to get one that is for paper because this is dangerous Also Jennifer: turns on the heating gun again and continues to color LOL

[@pollyweinmann5082]

For hand pain try Arnicare gel. It is amazing it us a homeopathic product. My hands are badly arthritic and I have a permanent partial disability from the waist up according to New York workmans compensation. I could not manage without my Arnicare.

[@syedanas5152]

Wow

[@candicel.1003]

What ca cute dog lol

[@deannareti7001]

Yummy cool

[@jmpetty831131]

Put them in a straw tape one end with washy tape.

[@pollyweinmann5082]

You can go as long as you can handle.

[@craftygirl17]

You can just tap the crayon to make it drip after heating it.

[@treasurespastnpresen]

I moved from Arkansas to Colorado in 1st grade and my teacher made fun of me almost everyday because of my accent and different regional pronunciations. I was very shy and cried almost everyday.

[@honestfigurereviews]

I gave you a like just seeing that cute dog lol

[@AprilSarah]

Oh my gosh, your husband is adorable. bhahahaaaaa.

[@queenjs7735]

ᴊᴜsᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛɪғғɪɴʏ ʙʟɪss xᴅ

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Are you sure he was in 4th at 12? Seems like he'd be in 7th or 8th by then.

[@FernCurtis]

Cynthia Price - Not being sarcastic, just something for you to think about: It would depend on what age he was when he started school, when his birth date is. As well as, was he held back a grade? I know with me, I started school when I was 6, but my birth date was in the middle of the school year. So, I was already older than a lot of my classmates. Then, I was also held back a year and had to repeat 5th grade because of being so sick that year. Which made me even older than the other kids.

[@de_zebra_potato2283]

I recommend for you to at least get the Crayola 68 pack. That's what I have.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Love your sweet and adorable dog I have two dogs I have a black and white pitbull girl named Harley and a brown chihuahua named Cocoa I love them very much 😊

[@ChristopherWanha]

Impartiality test: have your husband draw it the boxes and not tell you which is which.

[@sferdoushi144]

Hi

[@craftygirl17]

It looks like real melted chocolate with the heat gun

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I have seen people color with pencils on an electric warming tray.

[@anna_vandertuyn]

crayons are basically a stump of colored wax wrapped in a sheet of paper

[@s.e.hebert7307]

Electrical tape. Or the solution for EVERYTHING -- Duck tape!

[@ShannonCoppers]

My teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class for missing an N in my name. I was in fifth grade.
