Batik is a crafted fabric that needs to undergo the delicate and repeated process of waxing, dyeing, and boiling. Wax is used as a means of color blocking in the coloring process. Every part of the fabric that remains untouched by a certain color has to be covered with wax. There are also several sub-processes like preparing the cloth, tracing the designs, stretching the cloth on the frame, waxing the area of the cloth that does not need dyeing, preparing the dye, dipping the cloth in dye, boiling the cloth to remove wax and washing the cloth in soap. The more colors a batik fabric has, the more times it has been through the process of applying wax, dyeing, and drying, then removing the wax. The process has to happen in a precise order that will produce the pattern or figures that are desired. Additionally, the order of which colors to apply also has to be followed. Batik cloth can be made into garments, paintings, scarves, bags, tablecloths, bedspreads, curtains, and other decorative items. Traditional batik is synonymous with silk or cotton.
