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.

[@DanielaMellen]

Great memory of making custom dresses for your doll.

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

[@DanielaMellen]

Great tip!

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!

[@DanielaMellen]

Glad it was helpful! Oh- a bucket of childhood memories! ❤️❤️

Hi, I'm trying to use this technic on denim, i'll share the result if it'll go well or not afterwards! Thank you for sharing😊

[@DanielaMellen]

Ohh! I'd love to know the results. Thank you for sharing. I may call on you for advice!

[@jefferydick8929]

This is awesome and I can’t wait to try it! You can also order freezer paper that can go through an ink jet printer. You can copy your image and print it in reverse on the paper side. Then just iron to the back of your muslin and use a light pad. You can also just cut rolled paper to fit your printer. It’s also great if you want to do multiple of the same image as the freezer paper can be used a few times before it won’t stick to fabric.

[@DanielaMellen]

Thank you, these are great tips and I will try them. Freezer paper is so versatile!

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

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!

What happens when you use the crayons on tshirts (50/50)?

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

[@MsJean113]

Can you use them on clothing

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

[@lynnodonnell4764]

How many washings till image fades? Im thinking of decorating Flour Sack Towels as gifts (which wud get laundered often)

[@DanielaMellen]

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.

[@annadora-arts845]

What about fabric markers?

[@DanielaMellen]

Good question - I'll work on a video using markers on fabric.

You draw on the fabric side with crayons. Hope this helps.

[@lynnodonnell4764]

Is iron set on COTTON (hottest) ?

[@DanielaMellen]

Yes- the same heat as the fabric being used. (Cotton, linen, etc)

[@lynnodonnell4764]

@@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.
