Batik method of fabric dyeing – The oldest method

Batik is an old method of textile dyeing used in Africa, eastern Asia and the Middle East. This method of painting can be applied on silk, cotton, wool and even leather. For this method you use hot wax and brush out the sections you wish to remain not dyed.

After that you move onto sections you wish to dye from the lightest colors to the darkest. When you color your design you let it dry for 12-48 hours, and then you add another layer of wax and dye. You repeat this process for each color. When you have finished coloring remove all of the wax and your clothes is ready.
