Gently wash in lukewarm water and mild soap. After it has dried,
your design is permanent. It can be laundered in warm water and
mild soap.  USES: The Crayon Cloth Design method can be used to
decorate dishcloths, lunch cloths, curtains, and so on.

Title: Personalized Masks (non-edible)   1 Jar
petroleum jelly   Bowl of water  Towels  Rolls of casting
gauze -(the gauze that is used to make plaster casts (medical
supply companies should -carry it)   Grab someone, place them in
a chair. Throw a towel around their shoulders and smear vaseline
ALL over their face (be sure to put around hairline/eyebrows)
Take strips of the plaster gauze and dip it in the bowl of
water. Take 2 fingers and run strip of wet gauze through them to
take off excess water. Place the wet gauze across the entire
face leaving nostrils open so that the person you're working
with doesn't suffocate!!. You can either place gauze over the
eyelids or leave the eye area open. If you place them over the
eyes make sure that you have vaselined the eye area well (with
their eyes closed preferably!) Overlap each strip of gauze and
put on 2 layers. Let dry for approx. 20-30 min.. Using your
fingers go around edges of entire face to loosen mask and then
lift off slowly. You will have an impression of the persons
face. You can leave it as is or for fun you can paint or add
color to the cheeks, lips etc. with paint or blush powder. You
can then spray with clear acrylic spray to preserve it.
**NOTE** I forgot to list one very important step. When you lay
the strips on the face make sure that you smooth them out as you
go or they will harden with wrinkles and lines. Smooth them
going up and down and then side to side so that there are no air
bubbles or wrinkles. BE SURE TO OVERLAP EACH STRIP HAVE FUN!!
