Step by Step: How to Create Placemats with Fabric Paint
Step 1 DIY Home Clothing with Fabric Paint: Material Preparation
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. Materials include blank placemats, vibrantly colored fabric paint, paintbrushes, pencil, paper, and clothes iron. Remember that it is very important to choose a suitable fabric paint, we recommend our Opaque Fabric Paint, which has great adhesion thanks to its high flexibility. This allows you to decorate and customize all types of fabrics (cotton, wool, jacquard, polyester, canvas, leather, jeans, etc.) and makes it perfect for fabrics, thin or thick, light or very dark and black. The range of colors is very wide and its colors are miscible with each other.
Step 2: Design your pattern
Let your imagination fly and choose a design for your placemats. You can opt for geometric patterns, flowers, letters or themed motifs depending on your style and preferences. Draw the design with a pencil lightly on the tablecloth for a guide. It is important that you rehearse on paper first.
