Batiks
Bring
1 litre of water to the boil and let it cool down a little. In a large container, mix the ingredients as
described in the package instructions
Batik paint. In our example we have used the
Javana Batik-Textile paint „Cool Blue" .
Tie or knot the cotton bag in the style you want. You can use a string, cable ties or similar or knot the bag in the desired place. It is important that you
tie up the places
firmly. At these points the bag will
now take little or no colour and the
typical beautiful patterns on the dyed fabric will appear
Dip the
laced bag into the paint bucket
as far as it should take on paint. Use
clothes pegs to
fix the bag
to the edge of your bucket. After 1 hour the bag can be removed from the bucket. Then
rinse the excess paint from the still-bound bag under warm
water. Rinse it out until the water remains clear
Now you can
loosen the knot or remove the ties and rinse your bag again. Now hang the bag up to
dry Stenciling
Iron the dried bag to get an optimal result at Stenciling . Place a piece of cardboard or thick foil in the bag to
protect the paint from being pressed through.
Now place your desired
Stencil centered on the bag. As a
tip , we recommend that you first check Stencil with
temporary Spray glue to spray so that it cannot slip at Stenciling
With the
Sponge brushes and with
textile Ink Pads the bag can now be printed. After applying the ink, allow to dry for approx. 10 minutes and then iron in the wool setting for approx. 3 minutes using slightly circular movements
.
