Vintage Textiles Can I Use Reeeaaally Concentrated Dye To Paint Graphics On My Shirt?

Can I use reeeaaally concentrated dye to paint graphics on my shirt? - vintage textiles

Acrylic and textile paints tend to dry hard. I want to get flat, "Sharpie" look without using a Sharpie. Will tint, while I paint? (I try to make my own shirts vintage.) Thank you!

Yes, probably running dye while you are painting, and mixed with other colors if you use more than one color. This can achieve the desired effect, however. I do not know. You will probably not be able to make a detailed colored liquid.

In addition, depending on the type of dye you use, and how fixing it, could here a big old mess in the laundry room (a little different team with him and finally the machine itself) that you use the method of checking before it accomplished something, not that I disturb you. (if using plain white cotton T-shirts is probably not a major problem that is relatively cheap.)

Years ago I worked in a shoe shop and a part of the concert was of white satin shoes for the dye parties, weddings, etc., was also dyes in a range of beautiful colors in his shoe on the tincture of fun, and it was very fun play with colors on T-shirts, jackets, jeans, etc. significantly muted colors in the washBut the designers have stayed at the hotel and actually looks pretty cool.

One way to repair "the dye into the tissue around the T-shirts washed in salt water it has in the - about 1 cup for a load of laundry. Even if you put the shirt in the dryer before washing, heat from the dryer will set the stain.

I do it all the time, I paint a little with a brush. Do not wash, but it gives you a fuzzy line, not a "Sharpie" line. Tags enter a line well, especially markers Rub-a-dub laundry.
