Let’s Start!

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!
BEGIN HERE
Tape your cloth down, and begin drawing your design with
your pencil. Keep your strokes light to avoid seeing the pencil
marks on your final piece. If you're inexperienced, stick to
large objects without too much detail.
While contemporary batik features many abstract objects,
traditional batik designs were influenced by nature and folk
stories. Which one will you design?
START THE ART
4. 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.
THEN
THE NEXT STEP
"Drip" the wax onto your piece with the tjanting needles. Remember
that anything the wax touches will be white in your final work. When
you're happy with your wax job, take your dye and paint over the
piece.
In traditional batik making, the cloth is dipped into dye baths three
to four times. The stark contrast of the white and the dye make batik
artwork vibrant and colorful!
5. When everything's dry, iron off the wax by placing
your cloth in between newspaper and using a hot
iron to melt off the wax.
Hope you enjoyed this amazing process!
