But I know one of my readers did try it – If you look through the comments she shared how she got on.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. Dryad Education, the home of Specialist Crafts is a leading supplier of Art, Textiles, Design and Technology resources to educational establishments, students and artists worldwide. Extremely useful Great product to combine with acrylic paint and make any colour for fabric painting or printing.

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.

It thins the paint without diluting the colour, and encourages the paint to adhere to the fabric, particularly once it has been heat set.

I set the both the glycerin-paint and water-paint mixtures with heat and had no problems with washing it. 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 have one saying 1 part glycerine to 5 parts water and 5 parts paint i think its supposed to be a 2 to 1 ratio how does that work?Do u know if this is because i havnt heat sealed the cushions yet and do i do this with the iron and can i even attempt it with the Glycol fabric medium? And then add to that other reasons to customize fabric, quilting, sewing, bag making, even Halloween costumes, and there are about a million uses for fabric paint in the crafting world.

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! Daler-Rowney Glaze Gloss Medium is a white translucent cream which increases the flow and transparency of acrylic colour to facilitate the production of fine glazes.The fabric remained exactly the same…nice and soft and yes I let the lot dry for at least a week haha to be honest I was over it all by then. I’ve never actually measured it as I go by the consistency of the mixture aiming for an ink consistency so the dye doesn’t just sit on top of the fabric. I have lots of acrylic paints for paper, this stuff when mixed in makes it suitable for painting on fabric. My guess would be that the marking is something due to the fabric pile rather than needing heat setting. The solution in the Fabric Medium 1L bottle won't compromise your colours and ensure that your fashion statement looks as good as possible for as long as possible!
