Fabric paint, also known as textile paint, but let’s be real, that sounds a bit too fancy for what it is, usually comes from the magical world of acrylic polymers. Think of it as paint that’s had a little workout; it’s tough enough to handle everyday shenanigans, multiple trips through the washing machine, and even some sunbathing without fading away.          

Now, you might be wondering, how do I make my fabric masterpiece stick around for the long haul?

First things first, give your fabric a good wash and dry. It’s like giving it a spa day before the real fun begins! Once it’s all fresh and clean, unleash your inner Picasso and start painting. But wait, don’t rush off just yet! After your masterpiece dries fully (and we’re talking a few hours here), you’ll want to heat set it to make sure it’s as permanent as your love for pizza. Most fabrics can handle a good ironing session on medium to high heat for about 3-5 minutes.

Voilà! Your fabric is now ready to take on the world (or at least your closet).
