Here’s how to make this design:

- Fill the drawing using only wax crayons. Use any colors you like.
- Make sure all sheet surface is covered with wax crayons.
- Crumple the paper carefully until the paper becomes crinkled.
- Unfold the paper and flatten it on the table.
- Apply all the sheet surfaces with dark watercolor by using a brush.
- Rub the paper with tissue paper to blot all excess watercolor.

Making Batik on Paper
I love the look of batik on paper because it’s colorful and vibrant. I also like how wax crayons and glue as wax resist creating a textured surface that looks almost like cloth.
Another reason people might like to make batik on paper is that it’s a bit easier than working with fabric.
And finally, I think it’s entertaining to experiment with different colors and patterns and see what beautiful results you can come up with.
Some Tips
- Make sure to use high-quality drawing sheets or paper, so the colors don’t bleed.
- Experiment with different colors and patterns for unique designs.
- When rubbing away excess watercolor, try not to rub away your wax resist lines accidentally.
- Once you’ve finished making a batik design on paper, you can use it as a piece of art to hang on the wall or give it away as a gift!
