African wax prints

African wax prints are like really colorful and cool fabrics that people in Africa like to wear as clothes. The prints are made by putting wax on the fabric in different designs and then pouring different colors on it. The wax makes sure that the different colors don't mix together and look all messy. After the wax is taken off, you have a really cool and bright design on the fabric that people can wear as dresses, skirts, or shirts. It's like making a really cool painting, but instead, you put it on fabric and wear it!
