The mud mix is made from ingredients like mud, gum, lime, and waste wheat chaff. After that, the paste is dried by sprinkling sawdust. This covering dust protects these parts of the fabric from the dye used, later on, creating a unique and colorful effect. Fabric is spread out in sun. Then it is washed thoroughly to remove the paste and any excess dye.
Each producing village is a self sufficient system for Dabu printing. Block carvers sculpt the blocks, the earth lends mud and the river bestows water.

Firstly, hot wax (beeswax or paraffin) is used to make patterns on the fabric with the use of some stylus like tools. Then the fabric is dyed and the wax act as the dye-resistant. After the cloth is dried, the resist is removed by boiling or scraping the cloth. The areas treated with resist keep their original color; when the resist is removed the contrast between the dyed and undyed areas forms the pattern and we get the pattern we desired for.
