DESIGNING

Draw out any design on a piece of paper using a pencil. Use a pencil or a disappearing ink pen to transfer design to fabric. For dark fabrics use a white chalk pencil to trace design.
PROCESS:

After selecting brushes and designs it’s time to start painting on selected fabric. Wet the fabric with clean water before starting painting. It encourages colors to flow into each other like in a watercolor. Don’t add too much water as it will dilute the colors. The fabric should be damp not soaking. Switch to the painting tool of your choice and paint over the image that you just traced. To create a watercolor look, mix your paint color with water until it is the thickness of writing ink. Spray water lightly on the fabric surface using a mister bottle after painting to allow the brush strokes to bleed lightly while switching between colors. If the paint begins to bleed too much grab a hair dryer and dry the spot to stop the process. Fabric spray paint dries more quickly than other types of fabric paint and allows you to easily fill in intricate stencils. To create texture, use a combing tool. You can add variation and create depth simply by combing paint in small sections.
FINISHING TOUCH:

Make fabric sparkling with glitter. Simply sprinkle the glitter of your choice on top of the paint while it is still wet. Allow the paint to dry fully for up to 24 hours. Once you've finished your design, let the paint dry for 24 hours and do not wash your fabric for 72 hours after painting.
