This is a greatly simplified version of the wonderful art of batik. Use a white (or any color) crayon to draw designs or illustrations on the “right” side of Sheer Heaven. You can stamp in a light color and trace over the stamped image with the wax crayon if you like.

Make an acrylic “dye” by adding liquid acrylic to water to get a shade deeper than your desired finished color. We like to use the liquid acrylics that resemble inks.

If your sheet is small, you can use a large water glass to do your dying. If it is a larger sheet, use a cake pan or similar container and make sure your dye is at least 1/2" deep.

Lay the sheet of Sheer Heaven in the dye with the right side up and let it soak until the desire shade is reached. Remove it from the dye and rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any rersidual dye. Then lay it right side up on a paper towel to dry. Your crayon design will be unaffected by the dye bath.
