Fabric Painting Tutorial

My Fabric Painting Tutorial
Materials:
-Normal Acrylic Paint ($2)
-Crafters Fabric Paint ($1)
-Good Acrylic Brush ($4)
-Cardboard
-Paper towel

Mix:
1 part paint - 1 part medium

If you can't find the fabric medium I used in the Video GOLDEN Products does sell a medium mix similar to what i a using ($12). But Please feel free use whatever you can get. Screen Printing Ink will work as long as it is for Fabric and this can be bought at a store called OPUS (around $4 I think)

This was just something very basic to show you guys. Later one when i decided to paint clothing again I will show how i go about it and such. So please look forward to this in the near future.

Using your method, when the paint dries does it become stiff, or is it soft and pliable? I want to use this on shirts but I know fabric painting can sometimes make the fabric hard. The Golden Fabric Medium solves this, but I'm looking for something cheaper.

@junevitalis

if you just use straight acrylic paint it will dry stiff and will crack. but cause im kinda cheap as well i do mix in water. about 1:2 and that tends to solve my problem. but by doing the watered down mixture you tend to get a uneven coat. or you can hunt down some cheap fabric medium like i did the the video. it's a dollar store find.

First of all your cute, Second do you know if these kind of paints would work on a Drysuit the one used for diving and surfing?

[ami149]

@qatarguy85

i don't think it would work all to well cause the drysuit is ment to repel any water on it and im sure the company's who produce it use a special decal that will stay on. but if you want to try I say go for it cause there's nothing stopping you.

@FCKEELS17

Either Fabric Paint, or acrylic with a fabric medium. and the cheaper the paint the lower the pigment.
