Fabric paint(or acrylic paint with fabric painting medium)
Cardboard or wood to insert into tote
Instructions
For soft fabrics like drop cloth, you may want to begin by bleaching and/or washing and drying your fabric. Skip this step for duck or canvas fabric.
If using a stencil, wet your pouncer/brush and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Start with small amounts of paint, and dab off excess paint onto a paper towel or napkin before applying.
Apply paint with brush/pouncer in a vertical position, not angled.
Complete one small area of the stencil/design at a time before moving on. Use painter’s tape to cover any parts of the stencil you don’t want to paint.
Rinse your stencil immediately after you’re done.
Let dry for 24 hours before washing, or follow paint manufacturer's instructions.
Notes
Choosing the right fabric paint is important for durability and permanence. See products below for suggestions of paint I have tested and endorse.If you use one of these permanent acrylic paints or fabric medium with acrylic paint, you will not need to seal your design once you are done.
