Any standard fabric product will become original and attractive if you apply a suitable pattern to it. There are two main methods of application: by thermal printing or by hand.
It is necessary
inkjet printer, specialty tissue paper, large newspaper sheet to protect the work surface, fabric paints, palette, painting sponge or brushes, sturdy cardboard, stencil, hoop
Instructions
Step 1
Before applying the pattern, the fabric (clothes) must be washed and ironed with an iron so that the paints are well absorbed and the sticker adheres well.
Step 2
In order to apply a drawing using thermal printing, find a suitable image or create it yourself using the graphics editors Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw. Use the Preview feature to get a better idea of how the design will look on the fabric. Print the image on an inkjet printer on a special film for fabric - TTS for white or OBM for dark and color.
Step 3
Carefully trim off any excess around the pattern with scissors. Remove excess thermal film with a needle. Apply the design with thermal foil to the fabric, cover with gauze or a thin cloth and iron with an iron for about 15 seconds. Remove the foil.
Step 4
To paint on fabric, place newspaper on your work surface to avoid staining it. Unfold the fabric. If it's clothing, place heavy cardboard inside to prevent paint from seeping and staining the other side. Secure the product to the work surface with tape.
Step 5
Place a stencil on the fabric, secure it with safety pins or tape. Carefully study the instructions that come with the paints. Use a palette if required. Draw paint on a sponge or brush and carefully trace the contours of the stencil. If you have spray paints in cans, it is better to protect the fabric around the stencil with a newspaper. After applying the pattern, carefully remove the stencil. Do not remove the cardboard until the paint is completely dry. You may be using paints that are cured with a hot iron - in this case, follow the instructions.
Step 6
There is a way to apply a pattern to fabric using a hoop. Transfer the design to the fabric using white transfer paper or felt-tip pens. Hoop the fabric and paint it white around the design to create a solid base. When the backing is dry, color in the drawing - first dark shades, then light shades. After a day, after complete drying, iron the fabric from the wrong side with an iron to secure the pattern.
