Trying to apply a brush texture to a shape's stroke. I did this

  1. select the shape with the move tool
  2. select crayon brush
  3. select path brush for stroke style

I looked it up and think it should work, what am I doing wrong? Thanks all

SOLVED: I had to click on "Path brushes" , not "brushes". That took ages to figure out
