Art of Batik
Forget about tie-dye, make beautiful batik at home!
Begin Here
Gather your materials. You'll need a pencil, tjanting needles, a
large, natural fiber cloth (cotton is great), fabric dyes, and batik
wax. You'll also need fabric scissors, water and popsicle sticks,
and paintbrushes in various thicknesses.
Tjanting needles are a traditional tool used for pouring hot wax
to make batik, and they're still used extensively today!
Then
Use your largest brush and paint over the entire work with wax.
Once it's dry, "crackle" your wax by folding and crumpling your
cloth. Dip the cloth in a bucket of black dye to get the batik
effect.
