How to Make Batik??

1. We draw a pattern in a cloth with pencil. Either you copy a pattern or trace the pattern.

2. Light the fire in the stove, put a malam in a small pan and wait until it melts.

3. Fill the canting with some melted malam and trace the pattern that you’ve made in the cloth. Trace on both sides of cloth and let it dries.

4. (You don’t have to.) Paint the outline of your cloth with paraffin, but don’t paint your pattern with it.

5. Dip your cloth to the water, then to the liquid that won’t make your wax washed out and in the end, to the wax paint with the color that you want. Dip it in order.

6. Let it dries and you can do it again to make batik with various colors.
