Painting Prefolds

[iris0110]

So I posted before about dying prefolds and I was thinking I might also want to try painting them. How would I go about doing that, and what paints would be good for it?

Thanks

Ooh, I think I miught try this too. I have some fabric paints by Jacquard...they work well on cotton, why not cotton prefolds? Thanks for the inspiration!

There are a couple of pigment dyes that might work or Procion dyes might fit the bill too.

Anyways, Jacquard pigment dyes are heat set, like with an iron. Depending on how thin or thick you apply the dye, it will leave a feel on the fabric. Dharma has some pigement dyes that are similar but do not need heat or other fixative.

Thickened procion dyes would work well, too. You could stamp, stencil, paint on the design, wrap your PF in plastic, let it sit to cure and rinse.

Anyways...I hope I have sent you in the right direction. Heck, go to Joanns, they might have just what you need
