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❤

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you very much!

[@marshabraswell5681]

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.

[@DanielaMellen]

Wow! What a treasure! Thanks for the info on the color and drawing lasting. ❤️ I just love quilts.

[@tonyaharmon1383]

So Wonderful To Hear This! What An Amazing Treasure!!

[@lizryan6289]

Just reading your comment made me happy. What a treasure. Thank you.

[@jennygabbard6421]

Would love to see a picture.

[@zhinka1]

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 !

[@DanielaMellen]

Great idea! ❤️

[@piratessalyx7871]

Thats what I used wax paper then press onto my fabric

[@allisonhapke2703]

What a clever idea for a family!

[@sherryfaires7931]

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.

[@tanyabonnette1796]

Would love to see a picture of it? !

[@DanielaMellen]

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. 😊

[@tonyaharmon1383]

Such A Wonderful Gift To Make For Her & You're Fortunate Enough To Have That Family Treasure!!

[@annas.r.p.5835]

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.

[@DanielaMellen]

Awww- sounds like a definite favorite! How sweet that you would freshen it up and patch it up! ❤️❤️❤️

[@theresaatkinson5040]

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

[@FrancesFraser-wl1je]

So many people seemed to already know this, however, I didn't, so thanks very much for sharing. Looking forward to trying it.

[@DanielaMellen]

You are so welcome!

[@frugalwilliemae]

Me either!!

[@MaryBerryFancyFibers]

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!

[@DanielaMellen]

That is such a great activity! Thanks for the information about using the coloring book. 😊

[@tonyaharmon1383]

Cool Idea For Teaching The Kids!!

[@carolyoushock5636]

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!

[@DanielaMellen]

Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful! It was a game changer for me!

[@lindaraines474]

Loved this technique. My hands are getting shaky as I get older and I might be able to stay in between the lines! Lol.

[@jeanne3259]

What is slow stitch book?

[@lindacyprus1255]

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

[@DanielaMellen]

Ohhh. I’ll have to try using beeswax! Thanks for the tip.

[@MarketsofSunshine]

I did this to as a kid 50 years ago. 😂

[@sandraclark4707]

[@lindacyprus1255]

​@@sandraclark4707they changed the formula, still high quality but not bees wax for a long time.

[@Doloresgbryant]

I’ve never seen anything like this before. Awesome

[@connywelch5192]

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.

[@DanielaMellen]

What precious mememories of your mother's art skills! What a treat. So sad to hear that you couldn't pass on those sweet activities. ❤️

[@jow6845]

It’s how the parents bring them up…

[@savethebottle]

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.

[@lizhallengren5127]

Sad isn't it?

[@lynnboyd33]

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

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 !

[@DanielaMellen]

Good luck! And good idea!

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

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.

[@tonyaharmon1383]

​@@cliftonmcnalley8469I Took Swear By My Dawn!!

[@amberdawn4759]

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

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

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!

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

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.

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

[@2degucitas]

I'm going to use the watercolor pencil idea! Sounds fun.

[@denisestover2416]

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 😊

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

[@DanielaMellen]

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. ❤️

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.
