Fabric Paint FAQs

Is fabric paint permanent?

Unlike acrylic paint, which sits on the surface of the fabric, fabric paint will soak into the fibres of your material for a permanent bond. There are a few ways you can help your fabric paint last as long as possible. First, always wash the item of clothing so that if there is going to be any shrinkage, it happens before you paint the fabric. Then, you may like to iron your finished design with some protective wax paper to help 'set' the design - check your paint to see if it needs this. Finally, always hand-wash your painted fabrics in cool water with a gentle detergent to keep the design looking as good as possible.

How to paint on fabric

If you are painting on something with multiple layers (like a t-shirt), make sure to put a piece of cardboard between them so your paint doesn't leech through. Then, using a synthetic paintbrush, apply your fabric paint to your material. Once the paint has dried, follow any curing rules you may need to follow (like ironing the design) and give your material a quick handwash in cool water with mild detergent to finish.

Is there a difference between fabric paint and fabric dye?

Yes, there is a difference. Fabric paint sits on top of the fabric, adding colour and design while maintaining texture. Fabric dye, on the other hand, soaks into the fibres and permanently changes the fabric's colour. Fabric paint is better for designs, while fabric dye is ideal for overall colour changes.

Can you use fabric paint with a brush, sponge, or stamp?

Yes, fabric paint is super versatile and can absolutely be used with a brush, sponge or a stamp. Brushes are great for detail and precision, sponges create soft textures and blended effects, and stamps are perfect for fun patterns and repeat designs. It's all about the creative look you want.

Is fabric paint safe for kids?

Fabric paint can be safe for kids when it's specifically labelled non-toxic and designed for craft use, and when it's used under adult supervision. It's important to check the packaging for age recommendations and ensure proper ventilation, protection of surfaces and handwashing after use for a safe, fun crafting experience.
