| | Instructions |
| Make sure that all the sizing is removed from the fabric by washing it first. Stretch the fabric out on the shirtboard and thumbtack securely in place. Color in your design with crayons. Thick heavier the application of crayons the deeper the color will be. When finished place the design face down on several sheets of newspaper. Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 cup water. Dip a pressing cloth into the vinegar mixture and squeeze out most of the liquid. Place the pressing cloth over the designed cloth and press with a hot iron. Mix 3 tablespoons salt and 1 quart of water. Soak the cloth in this solution for 3 to 4 hours. Gently wash in lukewarm water using a mild soap. After the cloth has dried, the design will become permanent. You can launder from now on in warm water and mild soap. |
