Hi, I’m Amanda, the maker behind Off By Heart Design. Before I worked in social media management, I was an account manager in the event rental industry. After long days of order entry and phone calls, I wanted a creative outlet—and something colourful for my plain walls.
How my crayon melt art began
I discovered crayon melt art online and loved the colourful designs. My first piece followed the familiar rainbow arrangement: crayons in a straight line, with melted wax flowing across the canvas.
Then I started wondering: why did the crayons have to stay in a straight line? And why stick to rainbow colours? Those questions led me to experiment with different arrangements and colour combinations, including pastels and pinks and blues.
Colour, texture, and original designs
My original pieces were made with Crayola crayons glued to canvas and melted into colourful abstract designs. A professional photographer later photographed my work, giving me a way to share those creations beyond the original canvases.
Explore my crayon melt prints
These designs bring me joy, and sharing that feeling has always been part of why I create. You can browse my Crayon Melt Prints collection to explore this part of my creative work.
Today, Off By Heart Design also offers chunky knit blanket and pillow patterns and handmade blankets. Whether you’re drawn to colourful art or something cozy, I hope you find a piece or project that brings you happiness.
Thank you for supporting my creative journey.
Sending love and positivity,
Amanda
