Although the crayons appear muted, colors become brilliant when transferred to cloth. These crayons can be used alone or with other permanent art materials to create designs on wearables or anything made from fabric, such as quilts, toys, handkerchiefs, scarves and gift items. Any drawing and color-blending techniques done with regular crayons can be done successfully with fabric crayons.
Techniques Draw a design on lightweight, absorbent paper, such as newsprint or computer paper.
This paper, called a dyesheet, will be used to transfer your design, in reverse, onto the fabric. Because of the design reversal during transfer, letters should be written backward on the dyesheet. Draw letters with black marker on back of lightweight dyesheet, then trace show-through letters on front of dyesheet. When ironed, words will be readable. Carefully brush loose crayon crumbs off dyesheet.
