Thank you Frances....I think I will try a low heat setting on the iron..brown paper over and under!!
I appreciate you!

jaybird - Crayola fabric crayons are fun, too. The kids draw the design on plain white paper and you iron it onto the material. The resulting colors are nice and bright. We've used them for projects at preschool.

Thank you Ma'am....I am trying to deepen the color on an already printed fabric, so I just need to "color" the stripes and then be able to set the color!
Many thanks for your help!

Have you ever tried to get that stuff out of fabric once it is colored on!!!?!! We used an old hot plate and let the kids color right on the fabric placed over the hot plate. Then ironed the picture between several layers of paper. NOT news paper with print to fabric!!!!

Crayola makes fabric crayons that are specifically for fabric but if you can get ahold of Prang crayons they work just as well, they are soy based (I think) instead of wax and I found that their colors stay nice after you have ironed them.

Some time ago, I read where you could make a "drawing shirt" You would trace or draw something with a sharpie onto the shirt. The kids could draw on the shirt with crayons and color in BUT DO NOT IRON OR THE CRAYON WILL SET and then when you want to do it again, just wash the shirt and the crayon will come out. Haven't tried it but sounded kind of fun.

Well, my project is finished and looks wonderful thanks to you all!!!!! I had fabric for curtains...the green stripe was perfect, the gold stripe was perfect, but the red stripe was a mite too orange.....now it is just the right color of RED!!!!! I colored it so that it was sort of mingly and didn't just get in your face RED!!! I then put that stripe between two small strips of brown paper, and pressed it with a warm iron! It worked wonderfully!
Again my thanks!

Have you tried washing it?
