Painting in fabric is becoming a very popular craft and is used to create many different crafts. For example projects could range from making a greeting card, brightening up that old Tshirt to painting soft furnishing.
You can use fabric paints straight from the bottle and come in a variety of colours and shades. Non transparent colours are great for painting on dark or light fabrics where as transparent colours should only really be used on light fabrics. You can mix colours with ranges. Try the Pearl
When painting fabric it is advisable to lay a sheet of card between the fabric layers to prevent the ink seeping through the fabric and ruining your project. After applying the ink from the pen leave your project to dry for 12 hours before ironing and then iron on the reverse of the fabric for 5minutes
Fabric are washable once fabric paints have been applies but shouldn’t be any hotter that 40C
