I’m so impressed with the research you did to answer your viewers’ questions. And I appreciate your curiosity about different techniques. Looking forward to your slow stitching video.
Almost 60 years ago I wanted to make a dress for my Barbie. When you bought a doll in the 1960, you get a small "magazine" with all the new clothes of Barbie in it. To expensive for me, but I made a dress with Wasco. That is a kind of wax crayons for children, 60 years ago. 😁 I coloured the dress and iron it. I think I used thin coton, and on the top I also put coton. I could make 2 dresses, because the top layer was coloured too. Not as much as the original, a bit lighter. Of course the quality of painting was not very good, I was 7 or 8, but it is funny to see people start doing it now again. Thank you for some new ideas.
I am so glad I come across this video your RUclips channel and that this is awesome I always wondered about crayons and fabric and that and you have answered and showed so many questions questions I've had and you've helped an answer them so I am excited to start some of them thank you so much I look forward to seeing more of your
Brilliant! Thank you for posting. I have a literal 5 gallon bucket of crayons leftover from my children's childhood and have been hemming and hawing about donating them, or how to use them in my mixed media artwork. So excited to create with them now!
I'm even more eager to try this since I'm making a fabric book like the one you did last year at Stitch The Season. Yeah!!! Thanks for doing the experiments!
A lot depends on the frequency of washings, detergent, size of the image, etc. I think fading occurs more frequently with the more used objects. You can add a layer of textile medium to the heat set crayons to seal the image well. I would do that for anything being laundered regularly.
Many people report that cotton and natural fabrics take the dye permanently, but synthetic fabrics still give it off. I have not used it on a 50/50 tee shirt.
Completely off topic but I hope this is OK… I’m 68 years old, so this was long long ago but if you take an electric skillet, add water and a muffin pan, then put crayons in each little space and melt them. Take a piece of fabric and draw a design. Take a paintbrush and paint your design including the background using your melted crayons. When you are done paint the total piece with paraffin wax. When it is completely dry, I used to wait overnight. Crackle the wax coating. Then dip your fabric in dye. How to completely dry. We used to use newspaper on top and on bottom and an old iron to melt the wax. Be sure that what is directly against your fabric is plain white paper. You don’t want the newsprint on your picture. You now have made your own batik. I was hoping to find a video I could show my children. Have you ever done this?
I have not done that technique exactly. I remember doing a faux batik with a paper bag, and melted crayons, and dye. I'll have to look into that some more, because I remember enjoying it!
@@DanielaMellen thanks for such a quick response! I want to try this method out on 100% canvas for garden flags.. Do the art, then waterproof both sides.

I have used iron-on transfers from an embroidery transfer book and a transfer pencil to trace the outline of a coloring book design.
Great tip!

Ohh! I'd love to know the results. Thank you for sharing. I may call on you for advice!
I'm even more eager to try this since I'm making a fabric book like the one you did last year at Stitch The Season. Yeah!!! Thanks for doing the experiments!

You're welcome.
can you do this technique on denim?
Good question. I haven't tried it on denim.... yet!
😁🤗okey,
Like thst
Thanks.
Can you use them on clothing
You can, however they may need refreshing, as the colors may fade after frequent washing. Many people report using it on tees without a problem.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What about fabric markers?
Good question - I'll work on a video using markers on fabric.
@@DanielaMellen thank you interesting video about crayons, pentel markers, terrific videos.
thank you ❤️
I just tried this on silk and it worked, I washed it and the color faded just a bit. The silk is still soft and silky. I did use the Croyola Crayons.
Thanks for sharing your experience - it’s great to hear it worked on silk, too.
How many washings till image fades? Im thinking of decorating Flour Sack Towels as gifts (which wud get laundered often)
A lot depends on the frequency of washings, detergent, size of the image, etc. I think fading occurs more frequently with the more used objects. You can add a layer of textile medium to the heat set crayons to seal the image well. I would do that for anything being laundered regularly.
What happens when you use the crayons on tshirts (50/50)?
Many people report that cotton and natural fabrics take the dye permanently, but synthetic fabrics still give it off. I have not used it on a 50/50 tee shirt.

DO YOH DRAW ON THE DJDE LR PAPER ZIDE N PAINT ON WHAT SIDE
You draw on the fabric side with crayons. Hope this helps.
Is iron set on COTTON (hottest) ?
Yes- the same heat as the fabric being used. (Cotton, linen, etc)
