A Box of Crayons (Try Glow in the dark Crayons for effect)
Plain sheet of paper
A plain shirt or cloth bag
A Flat Iron

2. Using your box of crayons draw like crazy and produce the art work you desire (experiment with different textures of sandpaper).

3. Since you would be transferring your artwork into a different medium, the image that will be transferred into your shirt or cloth bag will become inverted. Just imagine that you are looking at the image from a mirror, so you could produce the correct orientation.

4. Select the medium you would want to transfer your artwork into (Plain shirt or Cloth bag).
5. Position the sand paper on top of the area you are going to transfer the image to.
6. Place a clean sheet of paper underneath the shirt or cloth bag to prevent the crayon from passing to the back.
