Fabric Coloring with Crayons

Who doesn't love coloring? I always loved coloring as a kid and still do when my girls have a color book and crayons out. I have a friend who colors with crayons on fabric and has published a book recently on the subject. Her work is beautiful and a little more involved than I have time for right now so I decided to do some 'playing' myself and come up with a way to add some color to my fabric without too much time or fretting.

 I started with canvas (duck cloth) and stamped an image on the fabric. 

Then I colored lightly with the crayons. 

Then I placed a thin towel over the image and pressed it with a hot iron to set the color. I really had very little to no wax left on my towel. It turns out soft with no wax residue and it's washable.

Then I used the printed cloth to make a small zippered pouch.
