Transparent colour on light fabric

Give a light cotton bag, T-shirt or cushion an individual pattern with water-based Setacolor Light Fabrics. This paint lets the fabric colour show through and, when applied in controlled layers, preserves its flexibility. Choose Setacolor Opaque when you need a covering design on dark fabric. Light refers to the colour of the fabric, rather than its weight.

You receive one 45 ml bottle in your selected colour. Mix colours to make your own shades or dilute with water for softer watercolour effects. Codes 31 to 35 are fluorescent colours; this range is not glitter paint. A brush, fabric and stencils are not included.

Prepare your fabric

Prewash the fabric and let it dry. Start with cotton, linen or a suitable blend and check that it tolerates the fixing temperature. Test colour, penetration and the washed result on a scrap first. Put a protective layer between fabric layers to keep the back of a garment clean.

Painting and sun-dried prints

Stir before use. Apply with a brush, stamp or stencil; controlled thin layers are easier to manage than one thick layer. For sun printing, mix one part paint with two parts water and apply to damp light fabric. Lay flat shapes on top and leave outside in the sun until fully dry before removing them. The pattern develops during drying: this is a different technique from cyanotype and needs no cyanotype chemicals.

Fixing and washing

Air-dry for about 1 hour; make sure the work is dry before fixing. Iron the reverse for 5 minutes on the cotton setting without steam. After fixing, hand or machine wash up to 40 °C where the fabric care label allows it. Dry cleaning is not recommended. Protect stored paint from frost and heat.
