INSTRUCTIONS BONNYS AND BRUSH ON FABRIC PAINTS

Pre-wash fabric. Dry well. Iron.
Place pattern under fabric and trace design with charcoal or a soft pencil or permanent marker.
Apply paint to fabric with a flat bristle brush – work neatly in one direction as brush strokes show.
To shade an area – paint a light colour first then blend in darker shades while paint is still wet.
To create texture, use the back of your brush to draw designs into the WET paint.
When paint is DRY use FABRIC PAINT OUTLINERS to loosely trace outlines of design.
Hold bottle upright at a 90° angle – tilting will result in thick uneven lines.
Do NOT squeeze bottle until nozzle is completely flat against the fabric.
Use a light even pressure to continue outlining.

TO HEAT SET:

Wait 24 hours for fabric painting to dry well.
Iron on reverse side for 30 seconds at 190°C. OR preheat oven to 120°C. SWITCH OVEN OFF, then fold fabric painting with painted side to the inside and place in oven until oven is cold.
Hand wash for best results.

TOP TIPS

  • Use Heritage flat bristle brushes for best results when painting on fabric.
  • Place blobs of paint on a paper plate and work from plate – never put a wet/dirty brush in the bottle as this will contaminate the paint.
  • White No. 25 is opaque so when mixed with other colours they will become opaque.
  • Use Clear No 26 to extend colours and make lighter shades of a colour.
  • Do not use water to dilute paint as your colours will bleed.
  • For a sunbleached effect place a leaf or a stencil on fabric painting while paint is still WET. Leave in the sun to dry.
  • OR mix your background colour with Clear No 26 (4 parts colour with 1 part clear). Apply paint to fabric – while paint is still wet, stamp into the paint with a DRY foam rubber stamp. This lifts off some of the background paint on the fabric and also gives a sunbleached effect.
If you are painting a border, place masking tape on fabric painting to help keep edges straight. Allow to dry and remove masking tape. A sponge aplicator works best when applying fabric paint on large areas such as borders or checks.
