Fabric Paint

Postby Bernadette » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:42 am

Afternoon all

Has anyone got any idea's on fabric paint. I am going to make the boys a teepee or tipi for outside and I thought it would be nice if they could paint pictures/designs or in Patrick's case scribble on the fabric before I put it up.

Any ideas of brands or types as I have never used any before?

I use Dylon fabric paint.
You just paint it on with a paint brush, leave it to dry overnight and then iron over it.
The fabric is still flexible underneath, doesn't crack and is very hard wearing with washing!

I usually use freezer paper to create stencils which I use to paint onto the fabric.

@clothmama
I've made these.

I've drawn all the designs free-hand myself onto freezer paper, then cut them out to use.

I've also made james & grandad matching tshirts with steam trains on - but cannot find a picture :(
