Designing Fabric with Paper Crafter Crayons
As an artist, I love designing different things and for today’s post I’m going to show you how I designed my own fabric for this zippered pouch using the Paper Crafter Crayons.
1. Draw your designs directly onto your fabric with the Paper Crafter Crayons. You can use a stencil if drawing isn’t your specialty, but I just freehanded my design.
2. Place a sheet of printer paper over your fabric
and designs.
3. Set your Iron on to the cotton setting, no steam and iron over the paper and fabric. This will heat set the crayons and your designs into the fabric.
I love how my zippered pouch turned out. Once I heat set the crayons I decided that I wanted to outline my design in black, so I grabbed my small Black PITT® Pen and sketched around them. I think this turned out pretty cute.
Supplies:
Paper Crafter Crayons: BLUE/GREEN
Paper Crafter Crayons: RED/YELLOW
PITT® Artist Pens: BLACK SMALL
Other supplies:
Muslin Fabric
