Materials

• The source image that you started with
• The marked fabric
• Piece of board, MDF or stiff cardboard larger than your fabric for mounting
• Paper towel to cover the board and to clean brushes and messes
• Blue tape
• Selection of Taklon paint brushes, round and flat, various sizes. I use the ones from Officeworks as they hold the paint well and are not expensive
• A couple of water jars
• Paint pallet
• Scrap of fabric to test colours on, the same as you are using for the project
• Fabric paints, thinner and extender. (Refer to the information that follows.)
• Apron • Hot dry iron or ironing press
• Baking paper

Fabric paints

I like to use Texcraft fabric paints — you can buy small.
