To begin, paint the plywood with white and let dry. If you remember from the book, Harold draws with his purple crayon on a white background.

Now, cut a few pieces of purple yarn and let your imagination run free! You can even throw on some purple glitter, felt shapes, and even stickers to jazz up your wall art! That's optional, but you don't necessarily have to do it! Anything goes, as long as there's lots of purple in it!
