Steps:
1. Batik is a traditional wax-resist art technique. This simple wallhanging avoids the mess of melted wax. The wallhanging may be fake, but it's just as colorful and fun to make!
2. Draw your design on a paper bag with Mongol Trio Pencil. Apply the Li'l Hands Crayons in thick layers. Scrunch up the paper to make crinkles. Smooth out the paper.
3. Cover your craft area with newspaper. With a brush, spread Li'l Hands Watercolors over your drawing. The paint settles into the cracks, so the cracks show up well in your picture. Air-dry your faux-batik wallhanging.
