Fabric Paint

Fabric paint is a type of paint specifically formulated to adhere to fabric or textiles without cracking, fading, or washing out. It’s commonly used in arts, crafts, fashion design, and DIY projects to personalize clothing, home décor, bags, shoes, and more. Key Features of Fabric Paint: • Flexible: Once dry, it remains soft and pliable, allowing the fabric to move naturally. • Durable: Designed to withstand washing and wear (especially if heat-set properly). • Vibrant Colors: Available in a wide range of colors, finishes (matte, metallic, glitter), and textures (puff, 3D, smooth). • Water-Based or Acrylic-Based: Most fabric paints are acrylic-based and water-soluble when wet, but become permanent once dry or heat-set. Types of Fabric Paint: 1. Acrylic Fabric Paint – Regular acrylic paint with a fabric medium mixed in to increase adhesion and softness. 2. Dimensional/Puffy Paint – Creates raised, textured designs. 3. Spray Fabric Paint – Used for tie-dye effects, stenciling, or broader coverage. 4. Dye-Based Paint – Soaks into the fabric like dye but with more control. How to Use: 1. Pre-wash the fabric to remove sizing or dirt. 2. Place a barrier (like cardboard) under the fabric to prevent bleed-through. 3. Apply paint with a brush, sponge, or stencil. 4. Let it dry fully (usually 24 hours). 5. Heat-set the paint with an iron (if recommended by the manufacturer) to make it permanent. Common Uses: • Custom t-shirts and jeans • Personalized tote bags • Fabric wall art • Costumes and cosplay • Home textiles (pillows, curtains) Would you like some beginner project ideas or tips for working with fabric paint?
