Details

A beautiful, unique alternative to paint by numbers - instead of numbers on canvas, you paint with vibrant dyes on soft cotton fabric guided by a pre-drawn wax design. The wax acts as a natural resist, keeping every color perfectly contained in its own section. No bleeding, no mess, no mistakes, and no art experience required. Each kit is completely self-contained - everything you need is included, nothing extra to buy. Suitable for all ages from 4 to 99, it is one of the most relaxing, screen-free creative activities you will ever try. Each finished piece fits perfectly in any standard 8x8-inch frame, ready to hang or give as a gift the moment it dries.

Directions

It's easy to do — no art experience required! Watch our step-by-step video tutorials at youtube.com/colorcruiser. Paint within the wax lines, let dry for 15-20 minutes, and your masterpiece is ready to frame. Watch the paint spread and stop at the lines. Very satisfying.

Completed pieces fit perfectly in any standard 8x8-inch frame, available at any home goods or craft store.

Pro tip: Use less water for more vibrant colors. A little paint goes a long way!

About Batik

Batik is a 2,000-year-old textile art form from Southeast Asia, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

We grew up visiting family in Malaysia and fell in love with batik painting as children — that is why we founded Color Cruiser: to bring this beautiful tradition to families and art lovers across the United States.

When you paint with one of our kits, you are connecting with an art form that generations of families have cherished for centuries.
