How long does it take to make batik?
It depends on how many colors you would like to have and on the complexity of your design. The more complex your design, the more time you will spend painting it on your fabric with the wax. After you're done with the waxing on one layer, give it some time to make sure all wax is hard. Then it would take about an hour to dye the fabric. Then you'll need to let it dry by itself (I'm not sure if you can use a dryer, it may be bad for your fabric), which would take at least a couple-three hours, depending on the material and on how big your piece of fabric is. Then you'll need to repeat these steps for all color layers of your batik. I'm not sure how long the boiling/ironing takes when you take off the wax--have not done it yet. In general, I'd say you'll probably be able to do one or two layers of color per day, so it would take several days.
