Attach the Crayons
Start by using black craft paint to paint the wreath form, and begin arranging all of the crayons in rainbow order. Once the frame is dry, use a hot-glue gun to attach each crayon to the frame one at a time. Be sure to keep the bottom edges of each crayon in line with the inside edge of the frame.

Paint and Glue the Letters
Paint all of the wooden letters using the white craft paint, and then when they are dry, arrange them on the wreath form, adjusting layout and spacing as needed. Use the hot-glue gun to attach the wooden chalkboard and each of the letters to the crayons.

Attach the Handles
When the hot glue is dry, carefully flip the entire frame over. Then, cover the backs of the handles in super glue, and quickly place them on either side of the wreath form. Firmly press the handles onto the wood until they are stuck in place. Allow the glue to dry overnight, then you're ready to snap that perfect first day of school pic!
