Do you want to spice up your t-shirt or make pretty kitchen towels? With fabric paint, you can save hours. We all remember when we made potato prints on a pre-washed old t-shirt or grandma’s old tea towels. A lot has happened since, but we still use old t-shirts and tea towels to give them a new life. For example, if you have a set of old white bedding, you can mix colours or colour them in the same colour as your bedspread or walls. There is plenty of inspiration to find all around, such as interior design programs. You can recycle old items with fresh paint, give new life to old pillows or create potholders with fancy prints made with a fun sponge or foam rubber brushes. There are many ways to do it and it is up to you to decide what your design will look like.
Fabric paint never goes out of style
Fabric paint is for children and adults of all ages. You can gather the family and create great gifts: tea towels, potholders and pillows - whatever you feel like refreshing and passing on as a lovely gift. Tote bags can be used by children, teenagers and adults too. Kids can use it for gym clothes in school, the young when they go for a workout and adults when they go shopping. There is nothing more unique than a tote bag with a motive you’ve designed yourself. You can also make a nice pillowcase using a tote bag, just cut off the handles and use them as ribbons instead.
This is why you should use tools when using textile paint
When you are focused on what you are doing and totally occupied on your project, you forget how messy it actually can get when using paint. To avoid getting paint on your hands and clothes, we recommend using both an apron and a coat, especially when working on a big project. It is also important to use gloves or disposable gloves. Textile fabric can stain a lot and will stain your hands if you do not wear gloves, and of course you can find disposable gloves here on the site in many different sizes.
Fabric paint for high quality clothing or pillows
There are many ways to make fabric prints. On this page you will find various foam rubber brushes to make nice prints, and it is only your imagination that sets the limit. You might want to paint your own logo on a pillow, tea towel or pot, or you might want to try the classic potato print - you can use various palette knives to make a print in your potato. The best materials to paint on are:
- Cotton
- Viscose
- Wool
It does not work on synthetic materials such as:
- Acrylic
- Polyester
- Elestan
For best effect, the fabric must be washed without any softener. When you have finished painting, the material can be heat set in 5 minutes in a 150-degree hot oven, after which it is ready to be washed at 40 degrees in the washing machine.
