When you are painting on fabrics with fabric paint, it’s important to cover your work surface with a protective covering, and keep it away from other fabrics that you don’t want paint on, such as carpeting and clothing. To extend the life of your painted fabric designs, make sure to wash your fabrics inside out on gentle cycle, and air dry them. These fabric paint pens are double-sided, with a thin tip on one end and a thicker chisel tip on the other end.Some are better suited for thick fabrics like leather and denim, while others may be thinner and perfect for cotton or even canvases.

Kids, in particular, will love using puffy fabric paint for school projects, fun T-shirts, baseball hats, and more. I suspect I may have had different results on smooth cotton using a non-metallic colour, but for gold letters on purple velvet Tulip gave the best results for my project. Available in a set of eight different hues, these fabric paints have been used by everyday artists and professionals alike. People say that the color is rather sheer, so you may need to apply several coats—especially with dark colors.

The Tulip paint takes 4 hours to dry, so if you are using a stencil it is important to make your own stencil of your words first out of stiff card (rather than using your original alphabet stencil) otherwise you would have to wait 4 hours between each letter and it would be difficult to get the letters neatly spaced.

To fix your design, leave to dry then iron on the reverse of the fabric for 2 minutes with iron on hot setting and steam off. Overall, this medium helps to preserve the feeling of fabrics and also helps paint look smoother and more opaque. These fabric paints are machine-washable and stay flexible after drying, but restless fingers may be tempted to pick the paint from finished projects.This glow-in-the-dark textile paint comes in a set of eight neon colors that are bright and bold on their own but glow fluorescent in the dark. Awhile ago I also cut out an Octonauts stencil from a folder and printed t'shirts for birthday party favors. The dried paint had a good shimmer and was thinner and more flexible than the Tulip, but looked less opaque/solid and a lot soaked through to the back of the fabric. The bottle contains the recommended ratio of paint to medium, and you may need multiple bottles of medium (and paint), depending on the size of the piece you’re painting. When it comes to applying this fabric paint, you’ll need a brush or other applicator since the paint comes packaged in individual jars.
