Paint cushions, camisetjackets, blankets, etc. is an option that more and more people choose every day to adapt their clothing and decoration to their personal style.
Upcycling with old jeans, creating a t-shirtsetpsychedelic with the Tie Dye effect, renewing the covers of some old cushions,…
The possibilities with Fabric Paint are many. But, what product do I have to use to be able to customize a textile element?
We want to solve this doubt by explaining all the options available to you thanks to the products of Pinturas La Pajarita.
Fabric Paint
Thanks to its special formulation, the Fabric Paint allows us to apply it directly to any textile surface using a brush, stamping,... However you prefer!
Inside the catalog of La Pajarita, we find two types of Fabric Paint: Transparent and Opaque.
The first is used to paint especially on light-colored surfaces and is made up of basic colors that can be used by both the adult public and in children's crafts.
Furthermore, the Opaque rangeThanks to its high level of opacity, it can be applied on dark surfaces, even black, preventing us from seeing the color of the fabric we have painted.
In addition, the range of colors is focused on a more adult audience and gives us other options for garment customization or decoration projects.
It is important to remember that, after application, we must allow 24 hours to dry and then apply a heat source (such as an iron without steam) on the reverse side for 2 or 3 minutes.
Fashion Textil Spray
The jars of Fashion Textil Spray They provide new ways of applying fabric paint and achieving totally different results.
Firstly, we can use it to paint a textile element much faster than with a brush.
We just have to spray the paint and make sure that we cover the parts that we do not want to paint.
Another technique that we can do with Sprays is Tie Dye, with which we will achieve a psychedelic and hippie effect on our clothing or textile elements.
You can get it in two ways:
- Delimit the area you want to paint and spray the paint to create stripes or spots of color.
- Make a spiral with your shirtseta, tie it with rubber bands that tighten the garment very tightly and pour the contents of the spray onto the outside. You will notice that, after letting it dry for 12 hours, when you untie the shirtsetYou will have achieved a spiral effect with the color or colors you have used.
Finally, you can also use stencil templates, attach them to the garment or textile element and spray the paint.
Palm leaves, letters, drawings,… in seconds you will have managed to have a unique textile.
It is important to let the paint dry for at least 4 hours. Afterwards, it can be fixed in the oven at 150º for 8', or with the iron for 5' without steam, always on the back of the drawing.
Medium Textil
Did you know that not only special fabric paints allow us to paint on textiles?
Imagine that you have painted your living room with a tone of Chalk Paint that you are passionate about and would love for your cushions or table linen to match, but you can't find that tone in the Fabric Paint color range.
No problem!
With the Medium Textil You can turn any water paint into paint suitable for painting on fabric.
By mixing the same amount of paint and medium (for example, 75ml of paint and 75ml of medium), the paint acquires properties that allow it to adhere to a fabric.
Once mixed, start painting and create unique spaces.
Remember that, in this case, it is also important to let the paint dry for at least 4 hours. Afterwards, it can be fixed in the oven at 150º for 8', or with the iron for 5' without steam, always on the back of the drawing.
