If you've done a decent amount of tie dye projects and are looking to take your DIY skills to the next level, DIY batik techniques are very easy for beginners interested in "taking a dip"!
I'm a professional fiber artist but I'm also a professional educator, and I like sharing my process and skills with others.
There are a number of different waxes that you can choose for your various batik and tie dye dyeing projects and they have different characteristics.
For a DIY tie dye or batik artist I would recommend starting with a soy wax blend, but there are a lot of different options you can choose between when you're getting started in your batik and tie dye projects.

This is literally what I have been hoping to find. I really wanted a clear comparison with the three and this has been enormously helpful. Thank you so much. Now I’m certain I will work with the soy and beeswax blend. I’ve been doing more soy wax but found it hard to get the right crackling. But with this I think that should be fixed now. Another thing I’m struggling with though is how long I can keep the waxed pieces in the dye bath. As I’ve been working with soy wax I understand it can’t be in long?! But then it makes my dye bath results hit and miss sometimes. Any suggestions or advice with that? Many thanks again for sharing such helpful information.

Thank you for your video! Are you just using an electric skillet to heat up the wax? Do you have any recommendations on which electric skillets to use?

Yes, I use a regular electric skillet for all my waxes. An adjustable temperature control is a must, in order to fine tune the wax flow, but any brand should do.

In Malaysia we used a parafin resin mix. We did not do any crinkling. Any thoughts on that mix?

Have you ever experienced a residue on the bottom of your wax pot? I have a mixed my wax a few years ago, and I have forgotten what the mix was. The wax pot has a burnt residue, that keeps on blocking my tjanting tools. I want to avoid making the same mistake, but I can’t remember what I used. I’ve emptied the pot and the burnt residue is very difficult to remove. I use a wax pot with a removable pot, very similar to the ones used in the salons but it melts wax to a much higher temperature. Any advice would be helpful.

i know this is an old video so i hope i get a response ! First of all i love the way you do your videos , informative but not over explaining every little thing ! its the perfect blend ! so my question is about how much wax to get when ordering ! ill be doing... say few dresses a bedding set and maybe some curtains or pocket books or something. i havent done in this bulk before so im at a complete loss i have no clue ! i find info like x amount per lb of fabric but really ????? uh, ive never weighed fabric in my life :) ive been semi pro and selling custom tie dye (pro. dyes and technique) for many yrs but batic only a few times. I intend to do the bees/soy wax . id LOVE any suggestions, and opinion on how much to order PLEASE !!!!!

I'd get the smallest amount you can to start... Craft stores sell waxes now for candlemaking, a little goes a long way unless youre covering large areas, which I wouldn't recommend just starting out

Thank you for the comparison ❤❤ Btw which one is the easiest removed from the fabric?
@BayFibers
@BayFibers 5 месяцев назад
Great question, I should do a video on that... Pur soy wax is the easiest to remove and can usually be removed in very hot tap water

Thank you for teaching and sharing this. I am interested in this craft. What type of dye do you use from dharma. And do you have to use soda ash with them
@BayFibers
@BayFibers 2 года назад
Fiber reactive dyes work great for any plant based fibers- acid dyes if youre using wool or silk. Soda ash is important for brighter colors and especially if youre going to be washing it frequently

One more question, do you ever use the metal stamps ? if so you or anybody have a preferred site/brand for ordering ? other than Royal Kraft or even an opinion on them ???- thank you everyone who read my novel of comments and questions !!!! and Thank You So Much to any responses ♥

I do have stamps but they're from my own travels, direct from sources. You could start with cookie cutters depending on the style you're going for. I'd stay away from the wooden stamps that royal Kraft sells, they're really pretty but the designs aren't carved deep enough for good prints. They're more for ink printing
@mattlindsayb9856

The royal kraft ones I was looking at weren't carved, they actually do look a little like intricate cookie cutters with a wooden handle lol

I know that with a beeswax blend, after a couple hours the beeswax becomes much less viscous and will clog my tools so I have to be careful about how much wax I melt at a time or it will have to get poured out and go to waste. I can't say I know much about a residue being left behind, but if you have wax that's been sitting for that long it might need to be changed out.
