Decola textile paint 50 ml, choose your colour

Paint shapes and patterns on fabric

Decola Textile is a water-based acrylic paint for decorating cotton, silk and suitable synthetic fabrics. Its thicker consistency suits brushwork, stencils and stamped patterns, holding a shape more readily than free-flowing silk paint. For flowing batik-style effects on thin silk, choose a dedicated silk paint.

One jar in your chosen colour

You receive one 50 ml jar, not a colour set. Choose the shade above; the colour code helps you identify the same option later. The range includes light and dark colours, white and black. Screens and the underlying fabric affect how a colour looks. Brushes and textile diluent are not included.

Prepare fabric and paint

Prewash the cloth without fabric softener, let it dry and iron it smooth. Put card or film between garment layers to prevent bleed-through. Stir the paint thoroughly and test on a piece of the same fabric, especially with synthetics. The material must tolerate the required fixing heat.

Paint, stencil or stamp

Apply thin, even layers with a brush, sponge or roller. Use little paint with a stencil to reduce seepage beneath its edges. For lower colour intensity and better flow, use Decola diluent for textile acrylics. Wash tools promptly with water and close the jar firmly.

Fixing and washing

Allow 24 hours to dry. Then iron for 5 minutes on the cotton setting, without steam and with a cotton cloth between the paint and iron. Do not simply lower the temperature for delicate cloth: the fixing method must suit it. Wait at least 48 hours after ironing, then hand wash gently at 30–40 °C with a mild liquid detergent, avoiding vigorous rubbing.
