I painted a pair of shorts with acrylic paint and theyre very stiff. Would my shorts be safe to wash? Would they still be stiff?

Acrylic paint should be washable - cold water, a gentle cycle. The first time do not wash with any other clothes. You did not mention the fabric of your shorts - but there isa pretty good chance that they will not be (as) stiff after washing several times.

you should never paint shorts with acrylic paint. Just spray this product on your staff that way it will waterproof your stiffy so it will match your head which is sometimes called a DWE in your case.

I would think so, it won't be perfect of course but it will make them not so noticeable at least. I used them for onesie decorating at a baby shower and they've been washed a lot and have not come out or bled. I would color the jeans first and then throw them in the dryer for 30 min to set the marker (that's what I did). Then you can wash and wear like normal.

i soaked fabric until sulky was lifting off, and then worked it out of the tight areas. I'd be concerned about the felt. YOu for sure would have to dry and block the faces after soaking them!

I soak in the bathroom sink for 30 minutes then do a quick hand wash and wash them with my towels.. that way the same material is being washed at the same time.. Haven't had any problems.

Yes very quick-drying! I have several pair in different styles and I also have shorts in same fabric! They feel great on!

I have washed the ones i bought several times and they continue to provide protection for furniture. I highly suggest that you wash in cold water and do NOT dry on a "high" temp.

Not too well. Rough or nubby fabrics, if they are not cotton or linen, don't let the ink or dye sink in thoroughly. If they are cotton or linen, sponging on with fabric paint will work nicely. What the canvas is made of will determine the absorbency.

This is intended to make the paint more flexible after drying, making it great for fabric. However I wouldnt recommend it particularly for figurines, an acrylic model paint would serve you better.

Hello Dee, You probably can use anything as long it has not been treated with any chemicals. Also the stiffness of the couche helps with transferring. So a unbleached untreated stiff canvas should work too. Does it make a difference, I have successfully made bread without it. I guess I am playing a Baker with all the toys.

I don't know if this is the recommended way to wash my stockings, but I wash in cold water and dry on low heat and haven't had a problem so far.

i found the colors to be a little different when they dried. i used them mostly for mixed media painting on canvas. i DID do one t-shirt. and had to retouch it, after i washed it. after that, it was "just OK". be sure to put some cardboard protection under the layer of fabric you are painting. also, give plenty of drying time. if i had it to do over, i would make a small color sampler, by drawing a line from each color first, so that you can see what it will look like when it dries. rather than waste them, i still use them on occasion, but mostly i use another brand. and btw, i like martha stewart and regret giving such a negative answer. good luck.

I haven't tried to wash them yet but plan to put them in a mesh bag that I use for lingerie. My guess is that you could put them in loose on a gentle cycle for just a few minutes.

I haven't washed them, but I wouldn't hesitate to throw them in the wash. They are very durable and stiff.

Yes. These paints are suitable but you have to mix them with martha stewart fabric medium which I also bought on amazon. The fabric medium makes the paint washable on clothing so the paint does not come off. Directions are on the medium bottle.

I would say u could test it out on something like a piece of wood but this is fabric medium so the idea is to make the paint softer for fabrics. For a wash I believe u can use some water with paint.

I use them for buffing off wax and wouldn't trust any other microfiber on my paint. I occassionally even use it for drying/wiping off (when I don't have access to a fan blowing the water off the car.) As for washing, I've never used it for that so can't comment. I'd recommend buying a wash mitt for that purpose.

their tips so if you just paint over them without doing anything its going to look wierd unless you put gel or acrylic over them to even it out. thats what i do
