About this deal

The medium is mixed in equal proportions with any of the products and then painted onto fabric to achieve colourful results. If you've tried adding a little extra to your wardrobe with fabric paint, but never quite got the results you want, this Fabric Medium 1L bottle could be just what you're looking for! Just mixing the paint with water (but no glycerin) made the paint a bit blotchy but not impossible to work with. Our extensive range has over 28,000 products, which are constantly tried and tested by our in-house experts, teachers, and artists.

I’d wait until I was sure they were dry and then try rubbing a hard-to-see area with a white damp cloth and see if any of the colour came off. Anyway, I’m here to tell you that there’s not really a need to purchase an entirely new set of supplies if you want to do some fabric painting. That way you know if it’ll hold up to it or not, before you end up mixing all of your paint with the water/vinegar/glycerin mixture. That way, I can save the fabric paint for later in case I want to use it for another project or if my fabric paint dries and I need to add another coat or touch up any areas.The result is a DIY fabric paint that not only looks fabulous, it is also washable and doesn’t need setting with heat. if only Id known 3 decades ago when we not only built our home and furniture with it but burnt it in the stove and pot belly fire in the lounge. When the paint is dry, set the fabric paint according to the instructions on the products you’ve used. I think vinegar is too weak an acid to damage a fabric such as cotton, particularly since you are diluting it further by mixing it with the other ingredients.

I’ve been trying to find a more eco-friendly and less expensive alternative to convert my acrylic and latex paint into fabric paint. I haven’t heard of anyone else having the same problem so I can only guess that it must have been an ingredient in your paint that caused it.My guess would be that the marking is something due to the fabric pile rather than needing heat setting. I am planning to print curtains myself using this method at some point and it has never occurred to me that the vinegar could damage the fabric. How much medium to paint really depends on the thickness of the paint and what you are applying it to.

We then used a small amount of our DIY textile medium to thin down our acrylic paints to make fabric paint. I started a small business a couple months back and am working on a product that will include hand stamped textiles. In short, I cant make any promises but I plan to try it on relatively inexpensive plain fabric myself although I wouldn’t be painting it onto cherished antique fabrics!Do u think this is likely to encourage holes – ie would the combo recipe be acidic, etching into the fabric in time?

Be really interested to hear how you find our mixture compared to the fabric medium, Nikki – we aren’t very experienced in using fabric paint and have never tried the medium. Because this DIY fabric paint is so easy to make and use, it’s perfect for kids to use to make gifts for their teachers. To permanently fix your design iron over for 5 minutes through a sheet of clean plain paper on a wool setting. li>

Watercolor on Fabric:

  • Use Fabric Medium 5:1 with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color to control colour bleeding.

    EASY TO USE – Simply mix equal parts of Fabric Medium with Global Colours Acrylic Paints, and you’re ready to go! It’s also very important to pre wash your shirt to remove any sizing from the manufacturer which would impede paint absorption on fabric. I would do this for something like a Halloween costume that will probably be worn once and is unlikely to be laundered over and over. Hi Samantha It’s one part vinegar, one part glycerine and two parts water to make the fabric medium.
