Wonderful video. Your presentation is great and I live that there is no canned music. There's too much noise these days. It was nice just hearing you talk without all the background noise❤
My dear mother taught me this 73 years ago, though she didn’t have any pigment pens! After my first attempts, which she sewed as dresses for my dolls, we did designs on dish towels and on cloths for the dresser tops. It was so much fun! Gosh, l still love the smell of Crayola Crayons! I did it with my kids, too. Sadly, my granddaughter wasn’t interested at all, she couldn’t sit still for activities other than the tv. Ten years after that her little brother couldn’t pay attention to my brief attempt to explain what l had in mind for us, his mind was on his Xbox and VR. So this simply shows that times change, and not always to the benefit of our abilities and skills.
The kids are used to getting things faster. Food, entertainment, and with all the gadgets to play with, it's no wonder no one wants to just sit and do one thing over and over. That's boring maybe to this set of youngsters, but I enjoy coloring. I taught art in middle school and using crayons I squeezed as much creativity from my students as I could. There is no medium better than crayons to express your creativity. Prang was the best brand and I recommend you try them. Colors are more vibrant. Thank you for showing this technique. I can't wait to see what I can do. This is going to be fun.
I've never heard of Prang crayons...and I'm no spring chicken! I've always used Crayola's since childhood. I'll have to check out the colorful Prangs now.@@savethebottle
Your artwork looks like you are an artist! Your pumpkin and flowers are beautiful with the shading! This really makes me want to try this technique! My mother was a young child in the late 1920’s. Her grandmother brought her muslin scraps from the cotton mill where she worked. Her grandmother then showed her how to take flower designs from the newspaper and trace them onto the fabric. My mother outlined the drawing with a simple stitch in embroidery floss. She then colored in the flowers with crayons. I don’t know the brand. I guess she could have colored them years later. She did not do any shading. I used to enjoy looking at these scraps of fabric with the pretty flowers. When my mother was in her early 70’s, I asked her what she had planned to make with the flowers. She said she had always wanted to make a quilt with green fabric around the blocks. I took them and did just that! I gave it to her for Mother’s Day about 6 months later! She was shocked and overjoyed! She had it on her bed for a while, but it has hung on my wall for about 30 years. I had a good bit of sewing experience, but it was my first quilt. I hand quilted it. It still looks just like it did then.
That is such an amazing gift! You took your mother’s precious scrap flowers and turned it into a quilt! Omg, she must have been so touched by you taking her work and transforming that into her dream quilt! I love hearing this. ❤️ I’m partial to handmade quilts!!! I think they are an act of love, and it your case, you prove my point. 😊
I made my first quilt using coloring books, a mix of cotton and polyester knit fabrics and Crayola Crayons after seeing a episode on a sewing show in 1996. My nephew and later my niece loved that quilt and refused to give it up .... I would periodically refresh the coloring on it to keep it bright every couple of years..... Last time I saw that quilt the knit fabrics had shredded and I had to patch the quilt but the kids would not let me throw it away.
I have a quilt that was my Grandma’s that has flowers colored with crayons on muslin with strips of pink cotton between. I’m almost 70, and my Grandma would be 130, so this is a very old quilt! It is one of my beloved treasures! I can tell you that the colors really hold up over time - and gentle wear.
I’ve done a simplified version of this with 8 year olds to teach embroidery. We trace from a coloring book page, color, iron, and then embellish with stem stitch, back stitch, French knots, etc. we do the embroidery in a hoop then gather the extra fabric from the back and they can hang it up!
65 years ago when I was growing up, we used to do this using prang crayons because back then they were made with bees wax which drew smoothly and melted beautifully. Interesting technique using the lower quality crayons we have now. Thanks
so clever!!I collect crayola crayon tins so I have loads of crayons. I am thinking this would make a fun quilt for our family reunion, I could precut and put wax paper on cloth and have everyone draw or sign in crayon and then make a quilt that has a piece of all my family !
Been looking for a way to hide stains on my clothes because I can't seem to be able to get rid of them. This is gonna be fantastic for this purpose, I was trying with fabric paint but they're not as precise as I'd like. Thanks a bunch !
Try Dawn dishwashing liquid first - the original blue Dawn - the other scents/colors aren't as good. 20 years ago, I got 3 huge grease spots on my favorite winter pullover. Spent 3 years only wearing it around the house. Made a Home Depot run which resulted in running out to my parents and my mother was genuinely horrified at my shirt being she is severely OCD regarding stains on clothing. She told me to use Dawn, rinse and scrub under warm water then throw in a normal wash. Now, I weekly check for stain, work Dawn in, let sit one hour and stains come out, occasionally requiring a second treatment. You can even put the Dawn on the stain, toss in hamper and wash days later.
For oil and grease stains on your shirts you cannot bleach use dawn dish soap just a drop or a swirl over the spot itself will remove all thise popcorn and bacon grease stains
I saved all my 6 kids broken crayons and placed them into silicone ice tray shapes in random colors and melted them in mv watching carefully and then toddlers have pretty colors to color with w/o breaking. I've also melted in clean cans before and poured candles with them. Also nice to put them in color chunks into melted clear jar sealing paraffin for chunky candles. Crayons are so much fun! I was overjoyed as a child to get a new box once a year for Christmas!
I did a lot of this back in the 80’s. I did pillows and pillow case for my bed. I used wax paper. The only thing is be careful with the tiny crayon bits that they are all gone, or they leave tiny specks everywhere.
I must say you have one of the most pleasant voices i have ever heard. You should be doing commercials and replace the Alexia voice. But, do not give up your great tutorials. Thank you for sharing your crayola craft.
When I was 12 years old I used crayons to draw in a piece of fabric, then I used a paper over the drawing and ironed it. Nobody taught me. I'm old now, it was before others did it.
Fabtastic tip, I’m going to use it right away! I was wondering how I could make the patterns I need on scraps of white cotton fabric rather than look for and buy several different fabrics, as I’m making Halloween witch dolls and I want to give them striped socks and whatnot!
I love this video so much! I do embroidery, and I've been looking into ways to color-customize my fabric pieces using watercolors, pastels, colored pencils, etc. Your crayon method is a valuable technique to add to my customization tool-kit, thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you Daniela, there were some really great tips in here. I loved how you used the backing papers to keep the fabrics from moving around. Such a fun idea, and pretty cheap and inexpensive tools besides.
We did something similar to this when I was younger except we coloured our pictures right onto the wax paper and then transferred to fabric with an iron.
You have just opened up a whole world of crafting possibilities for me with this! Thanks for a great tutorial, I can't wait to buy some crayons and get experimenting
Quilters have been doing this for a very long time using both these methods. You can also use watercolor pencils and markers setting that with textile medium and water 50/50. Then heat set with an iron after drying.
Great tips! Thank you. I have always been in awe of quiliters - both modern day and througout history. Quilting is such a loving, functional, and maternal art. I think it's one of the most underated art forms.
I always wanted to use my crayons to make my clothes images, and was blown away when I seen this! So simple using an iron instead of an expensive setter for the images. Thanks so much! 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
So much potential here excellent, a few years ago I did a freezer paper stencil, and sprinkled multi coloured crayon shavings around the outer edge and pressed it, that t shirt is still going strong. Now you have given me the idea to do a embroidery line design and then fill in with crayon, I'm now thinking t shirts, tote bags, zipper pouches, fabric shoes. Thank you for reminding me of this method. Tip for anyone- if you spill candle wax on your carpet, this is the same way you get it out, paper and hot iron.
Hi, I found out that, after you have put crayon on the fabric, you can also put a coat of Mod Podge (FABRIC), over it and it will be set permanently, without even ironing on it. Whooo Hooo! This will even work with dry erase markers and also colored pencils.
Hi🙂 Ten years ago when I first started silk painting we were shown a technique where you iron the silk onto the plastic side of the freezer paper and then you apply the silk dyes or silk paints. Once finished you'd either steam the dyes to heat set or iron heat set the paints. My daughter and I named the technique "watercolor". You could use Derwent's Inktense, but it's a bit more expensive than Crayola Crayons. Nice technique and cute illustrations 😊
Thanks for sharing!! It sounds like a great technique that would have more "flow" (hence your name, watercolor). And the Inkense would be very elegant.
I seem to remember doing a drawing and coloring on paper, or coloring a picture and then color side down iron it onto a piece of cloth. It wasn't as vibrant as yours, but you could add layers of color on top. It's a neat way for children to craft and get something with a bit of polish to the drawing. Wish I'd remembered this when I ran Zoo Camp and we painted T-shirts, those always came out so heavy and awkward because the paint was applied with the heavy hand of a child.
That's an interesting technique to paint freezer paper or sandpaper (as some commenters shared) and then adding it to the fabric. And yes, it sounds like a helpful alternative to painting directly on fabric. ❤️
Thank so much 🎉... I looked at your video on Sunday, went out on Monday bought some Crayons can't wait to try this technique out... looking forward to your follow up videos. And I am enjoying reading the Comments such inspiring and lovely memories etc ❤ I love Reading Comments 😊
My mother used to use fabric paint pens to paint pretty pictures on pillow cases. She used the embroidery stencils for the outlines. I think I prefer the crayons.
❤❤❤ Thank you!!! I have always loved crayons, but never explored using them on fabric. I see many applications for your technique, including another way to upcycle/recycle clothing, quilt labels, quilted wall hangings. I’m loving that you reused that paper towel several times. I’m looking forward to getting coloring mojo going. Thank you for sharing an excellently produced video. You were efficient with your time, and the closeups were vital. Also your voice is very pleasant and soothing. I’m a new subscriber. I’m looking forward to looking up older videos as well as future ones. ❤❤❤
Def a new skill I just learned. I've seen quilts tht were made like thus. Nvr knew how they did it till now. Gr8 to add to my embroidery projects. Ty so much n all those who commented. U helped me learn. I'm 76. Still lov to learn especially to enhance my projects.
Thank you so much for your video. I was thinking of letting my grandchildren paint with crayons on a tea towel and then keep sending that like you did that would be awesome
Love this! I'm wondering if you could print out an image on paper (not so good with drawing as you are), color it and then turn it over onto the fabric and transfer the wax that way? You'd have to print a mirror image, though.
This would be perfect to combine with machine embroidery redwork and quilt block block outline designs. Fun for a family activity - make holiday project linework and have the family color them.
New subscriber! This video came up on RUclips's feed. I just wanted to say that you are an incredible instructor. I subscribed from your presentation of the material. Thank you for a great video with awesome content. :) You described and answered any questions I might have had plus I enjoyed all specific details. Great job Daniela!!
How refreshing to listen to you instruct so clearly. I didn’t have to hear words like actually, like, to be honest…etc. Thank you for a lovely tutorial using wax crayons. 💕
What a fantastic tutorial! I really appreciate the way you went to the time and trouble to make it so thorough. That's SO helpful. I love to hand embroider and this technique will be a great addition to future projects! Thanks so much. And BTW, you have such a lovely, pleasant speaking voice!
Wow! All these 62 years of mine and I never saw this. I was a crayons queen! I melted crayons on my dads furnace and give him a headache. Then I grew up using polychromos by faber castell and then when I made shirts and decorated I used fabric acrylic ain’t. Never did I think crayons could be used. I’m so excited about this. I love the way you use sandpaper for traction and that is a genius thing for many other ideas. I enjoyed your video. You are different. I’m an artist not a crafter and I know there is a big difference. I feel crafters love the mess. Glue guns, drippy paints and tearing paper are their excitement. I’m all into the image. Colored pencils or drawing ink but no mess. I don’t do pastels that are dusty and make my fingers messy. Just art drawings with a variety of clean mediums. I love your video. Clean, understandable and beautiful. I will probably subscribe to you today Sunday October the 8,2023.
Thank you for such an inspiring video-never knew! I used to melt crayons in an improvised double boiler & paint the melted wax on small candles, votive lights! Gave them as Christmas gifts😊this video made me subscribe right away!😘
OK I’m in. Going to try this. I am new to hand embroidery and my stitches don’t fill the entire space as well as they should, this will help fill the gaps nicely. Plus it looks like a lot of fun regardless if you embroider on top. Thank you for sharing.
That is such a lovely gift box of goodies. I think you are just the most beautiful soul ever be placed on god's good earth 🌎 ♥️ I wish you nothing but joy and happiness . Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I think i love this. I cant listen to your comments because my husband is watching tv and listening to the program. I will play this again after my spouse goes to bed, then im dure i will feel like i NEED to do this. First time i ran into your video. Im sure we will be new best friends.
Wow, I love this I am going to try it tomorrow (got to buy some crayons) I have a white T-shirt with a small tea stain on it and was going to cut it up for rags. Now I will be able to draw a pretty flower and keep using it :-)
Love this!! Thank you! I had never seen regular kids crayons used this way wish I would of known when my kids were growing up. I’ll now use with my grandkids 🤗🥰
Thanks. Yes, Micron pens are permanent. As for the washing - many users report that the colors eventually fade, but can be refreshed by additional crayon and then heat setting again.
You are totally new to me, Daniela (you popped up on my feed), but I've subscribed already: partly because this is an awesome technique and I want to see more, but also because your voice is so soothing and pleasant to listen to! I feel my stresses melting away 😅 Thank you, I look forward to checking out more of your videos! TFS, love from London 🇬🇧

Lol. My first quilt was with colouring book too. Only with fabric and embroidery. I wish I had of known this technique

Ohhh. I’ll have to try using beeswax! Thanks for the tip.
I did this to as a kid 50 years ago. 😂
I still have prang crayons. Love to use them!
@@sandraclark4707they changed the formula, still high quality but not bees wax for a long time.
I’ve never seen anything like this before. Awesome
I made a quilt in the 90’s from my son’s artwork. I ironed freezer paper to the back side to stabilize it. The paper just peels off when you’re done.
That’s a great technique. I showed that in the video on the second piece. I like to give alternatives.
I can use crayons rather than paint, so clever! I am adding this technique to my gift making, quilting and slow stitch books ! Thank you, Daniela!
Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful! It was a game changer for me!
Loved this technique. My hands are getting shaky as I get older and I might be able to stay in between the lines! Lol.
What is slow stitch book?
so clever!!I collect crayola crayon tins so I have loads of crayons. I am thinking this would make a fun quilt for our family reunion, I could precut and put wax paper on cloth and have everyone draw or sign in crayon and then make a quilt that has a piece of all my family !
Great idea! ❤️
Thats what I used wax paper then press onto my fabric
What a clever idea for a family!
So many people seemed to already know this, however, I didn't, so thanks very much for sharing. Looking forward to trying it.

If your country doesn’t have freezer paper, I find in Australia the shiny paper around a ream of copier paper does the same job.
Thanks for the tip!

Just to see what I was missing...... awesome video. That pumpkin drawing that you made...... knocked my socks off 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you! ❤️
❤❤❤ Thank you!!! I have always loved crayons, but never explored using them on fabric. I see many applications for your technique, including another way to upcycle/recycle clothing, quilt labels, quilted wall hangings. I’m loving that you reused that paper towel several times. I’m looking forward to getting coloring mojo going. Thank you for sharing an excellently produced video. You were efficient with your time, and the closeups were vital. Also your voice is very pleasant and soothing. I’m a new subscriber. I’m looking forward to looking up older videos as well as future ones. ❤❤❤
Thank you and welcome. I love your ideas!
Je trouve cette idée magique
Thanks for sharing very informative 😀
Glad it was helpful!
Def a new skill I just learned. I've seen quilts tht were made like thus. Nvr knew how they did it till now. Gr8 to add to my embroidery projects. Ty so much n all those who commented. U helped me learn. I'm 76. Still lov to learn especially to enhance my projects.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for your video. I was thinking of letting my grandchildren paint with crayons on a tea towel and then keep sending that like you did that would be awesome
That's a great idea!
New method very nice
I love this. It's all new. Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much 😊
Outstanding directions and generous sharing of skills. Thank you so much. 😊
So nice of you
A good idea, thanks for sharing. Laurie
Thanks!
Thank you for the fantastic idea. Your teaching with alot of patience is greatly appreciated! I enjoyed my time here.
Thank you ❤️
Love this! I'm wondering if you could print out an image on paper (not so good with drawing as you are), color it and then turn it over onto the fabric and transfer the wax that way? You'd have to print a mirror image, though.
Yes you can! I'm working on a follow up video with some of the tips and questions commentors have on this topic. You're idea would work well.
This would be perfect to combine with machine embroidery redwork and quilt block block outline designs. Fun for a family activity - make holiday project linework and have the family color them.
That is such a great idea!
Thank you very much. I will try this.
Great!
Best explain illustration, you made it look so easy.
Thanks. I'll work on a video of a specific process.
Could you show examples of how you use these images in slow stitching? Thanks so much! 😃❤️
Great idea!
Wonderful. Great Tutorial. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber! This video came up on RUclips's feed. I just wanted to say that you are an incredible instructor. I subscribed from your presentation of the material. Thank you for a great video with awesome content. :) You described and answered any questions I might have had plus I enjoyed all specific details. Great job Daniela!!
Welcome aboard! And Thank you for your kind words.
Brilliant!!!! So exciting. Thank you so much for sharing this. My mind is busting with ideas lol
So glad to hear that!!!! Thank you!
How refreshing to listen to you instruct so clearly. I didn’t have to hear words like actually, like, to be honest…etc.
Thank you for a lovely tutorial using wax crayons. 💕
Thank you for your comment!
I agree , but I wish she’d learn how to edit!...☺️ there’s only so many times I like watching someone iron!
Never heard of this before. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic tutorial! I really appreciate the way you went to the time and trouble to make it so thorough. That's SO helpful. I love to hand embroider and this technique will be a great addition to future projects! Thanks so much. And BTW, you have such a lovely, pleasant speaking voice!
Glad you found the tutorial helpful and thank you for your kind words 😊
Wow! All these 62 years of mine and I never saw this. I was a crayons queen! I melted crayons on my dads furnace and give him a headache. Then I grew up using polychromos by faber castell and then when I made shirts and decorated I used fabric acrylic ain’t. Never did I think crayons could be used. I’m so excited about this. I love the way you use sandpaper for traction and that is a genius thing for many other ideas. I enjoyed your video. You are different. I’m an artist not a crafter and I know there is a big difference. I feel crafters love the mess. Glue guns, drippy paints and tearing paper are their excitement. I’m all into the image. Colored pencils or drawing ink but no mess. I don’t do pastels that are dusty and make my fingers messy. Just art drawings with a variety of clean mediums. I love your video. Clean, understandable and beautiful. I will probably subscribe to you today Sunday October the 8,2023.
Thank you. I appreciate the comment and kind words.❤️
Fantastic vlog, what a brilliant series of vligs Rue! Loved everyone ❤
Thanks so much
Thank you for such an inspiring video-never knew! I used to melt crayons in an improvised double boiler & paint the melted wax on small candles, votive lights! Gave them as Christmas gifts😊this video made me subscribe right away!😘
Welcome! And what a cute idea to make custom candles!
Thank you! You taught me some basic drawing and adding depth technique as well in this lovely video.
Glad it was helpful!

haha! That's true! Glad it sparks your interest.
Thank you for sharing this VERY helpful tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Love this - thank you, Danuela!
Thank you!
OK I’m in. Going to try this. I am new to hand embroidery and my stitches don’t fill the entire space as well as they should, this will help fill the gaps nicely. Plus it looks like a lot of fun regardless if you embroider on top. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful!
Brilliant idea and the possibilities are endless. Thanks for doing this video. I absolutely love learning a new craft, especially with my fabric

Glad it was helpful!
I transformed an entire queen sized comforter by loading wax on 80 grit sandpaper then transferring with heat from an iron.
Wow! That sounds like a lot of work and so unique! What a treat to have that handmade artwork on a quilt.
Would love to see a picture
Hi my sister thank u u have taught me something new.i will def try this style on my pillows.God bless.lots of love from Fathima South Africa
Thank you so much!
Wow, I love this I am going to try it tomorrow (got to buy some crayons) I have a white T-shirt with a small tea stain on it and was going to cut it up for rags. Now I will be able to draw a pretty flower and keep using it :-)
Great idea!
Congratulações.
Love this!! Thank you! I had never seen regular kids crayons used this way wish I would of known when my kids were growing up. I’ll now use with my grandkids 🤗🥰
Haven’t yet seen the end of video so hopefully how washing the fabric comes out
Micron pen I believe it’s permanent?
Thanks. Yes, Micron pens are permanent. As for the washing - many users report that the colors eventually fade, but can be refreshed by additional crayon and then heat setting again.
Thank lovely lady! Excellent tutorial! Much love from Sweden!
Thank you so much! Welcome!
I never thought of using crayons. Hmm. Cheaper than fabric paint for sure. You’re good at sketching!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing, I love your tutorial!!!
Thanks for watching!
You are totally new to me, Daniela (you popped up on my feed), but I've subscribed already: partly because this is an awesome technique and I want to see more, but also because your voice is so soothing and pleasant to listen to!
