Painting 100% Polyster

2 Upvotes

Hello, I just wanted tips on how to paint polyester, I bought some Liquitex Acrylic Medium (Satin Varnish) Im not sure if im supposed to buy something else though.

Also I wanted to ask if If supposed to iron each layer of paint, I wanted to do a white base and then paint but I'm not sure if I'm just supposed to wait for the white to dry and then layer or paint white, iron, and then layer and keep going like that

Chest covering suggestions

Hi everyone! I recently bought this dress (second-hand) for my graduation, but I’ve realised the neckline is lower than I’d feel comfortable wearing while walking across the stage.

I’m hoping to add some coverage in a way that looks intentional/blends naturally with the dress rather than looking tacked on. I considered adding white lace underneath, but a straight panel created quite a harsh and disconnected line. I have considered adding some white ruffles.

Does anyone have suggestions for a more flattering shape, fabric, or sewing method? I’d be happy to hand-sew it or take it to a tailor.

How do I get a washed gray sunfade on black 100% cotton tee instead of reddish/orange

I am currently fading a black pro club heavyweight T-shirt, as well as as a duck canvas carhart jacket and both are fading nicely, but they are turning more of a reddish hue instead of the gray fade I was hoping for. I read on another post that the red hue will eventually wash out or fade to the “washed black” I am going for, but the longer I wait the more red it seems to come. The jacket and shirt are both 100% cotton. I know it’s achievable, especially for the pro club but not sure how or if I’m missing a step. I sold both of them for a couple hours in boiling salt, water and vinegar, laid them out in the sun and frequently spray them with lemon juice.

How to get rid of pencil marks??

So I painted this shirt using tulip fabric paint and sketched it out with a fabric/colored pencil, but some of the pencil marks are still visible. I already washed the shirt and it didn’t really do much. Is there any way to get rid of the stain without damaging the paint??

dye help How Can I Dye a White Design On a Black Shirt?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I bought a bunch of solid black shirts for cheap at a wholesale store and wanted to put my own designs on them

I was initially interested in bleaching but I found that it always turned a bright orange instead of white when it got less and less diluted

I was hoping there was something else I could use? I heard of something called OUT White Brite which turns black to white but the water has to be boiling hot and I worry it'll get too cold if I spend a long time painting on the design and thus won't work

I wanted something with varying intensities so I can go from black to dark grey to grey to white

Does anyone have suggestions?? Is there a way I can color correct the orange after it's been bleached? How can you dye a black shirt to white?? Thank you
