This will remove any residue or sizing that could affect the adhesion of the paint. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place a firm base:<\/strong> Use a board or cardboard inside the garment to keep the surface smooth and prevent the paint from bleeding through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fix the design:<\/strong> If you use a stencil, place it and fix it with adhesive tape to prevent it from moving while you paint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crafts_for_painting_on_fabric_step_by_step\"><\/span>Crafts for painting on fabric: step by step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Now that you have everything ready, it&#8217;s time to bring your ideas to life.

You can combine them to create custom shades. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply the paint:<\/strong> With a brush or sponge, apply the paint on the fabric. Use light brush strokes and control the amount of paint to avoid stains or leaks. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add details:<\/strong> Use fine brushes to draw precise lines or details. If you are looking for a special effect, opt for metallic or fluorescent colors to highlight your design. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allow to dry:<\/strong> Allow the paint to dry completely by waiting at least 24h, however check the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_fix_paint_to_make_it_last_longer\"><\/span>How to fix paint to make it last longer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The key to making your <em>fabric painting crafts<\/em> last is to secure the design well. Once the paint is dry, follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Iron without steam:<\/strong> Place a piece of cloth or baking paper over the design and iron on the wrong side for 5 minutes. This ensures that the paint will withstand washing and daily use. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wash with care:<\/strong> Wash the garment in cold water and inside out to protect the colors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creative_ideas_for_your_designs\"><\/span>Creative ideas for your designs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t know where to start?
