Just color it like you did when you were little only stay in the lines a lot more LOL. With the fabric pressed to the freezer paper, it's just like coloring in any coloring book. So long as you press out all the wax during that part of the process, the color acts like a dye, and will stay in the fabric. There are special fabric crayons, but I found they don't work nearly as well as good ole regular crayolas; plus they don't have near as many color choices. I bought a HUGE box of crayolas, and won't let the girls near them.
Another hint, get one of those cheapy hand held pencil sharpeners. The sharper your crayon stays the easier it is to color with, especially in small areas. And DO NOT use the gel, or special metallic crayons that come in the bigger boxes. They run like crazy and you'll have to re-do the block.
Most importantly HAVE FUN!!!

After coloring the fabric, place a sheet of typing paper over the right side fabric that is colored and with a dry iron press until you see the surplus was on the paper. I usually then put a sheet of paper on my board and place the fabric right side down on the paper and press on the wrong side. You can usually see by that time that the excess wax is gone.

Hope this answers your question...if not just give a shout, I'll help you any way I can. :)
Ohhh yeah...I always press mine with the right side up...that way the color from the crayons seems to go through the fibers better.
