Fabric painting :single colour

 Fabric painting is one of my favourite hobbies.Whether a student,a homemaker or a working professional we can experiment it with tiny projects at home.You can do it as a holiday project with your children or do it doing your leisure time.Painting on fabric is easy and interesting.Start doing  it and see how fast it inspires your friends to follow.. 

To start  all you need is : 

• One brush  and one colour of acrylic paint(preferably fevicryl fabric paint.)
•  Piece of cloth for trial and for cleaning.
• Two small bowls of water(for cleaning and painting)
• Embroidery ring or board with clips.

• First  destarch the cloth thoroughly before beginning by washing it in cold water and then dry it.Cotton clothes are preferred.

• Stretch the cloth thoroughly by putting it in an embroidery ring or you can clip it to board to get the full stretch.
• Take any simple design of your choice.If required trace it to the cloth before starting or you can experiment freehand.
• Make a neat outline with dry paint.while filling the shapes you can dip the brush in the bowl of water,remove the excess water by wiping and then place the brush in the centre of the shape so that it gets wet there.
• Now dip it in paint .Remove excess paint on sides of brush,and fill the shape starting from the centre carefully so that it does not spread beyond the border.
• Leave the paint to dry.Reverse iron after complete drying.
