I would like to use these paints on tote bags for Mother's Day. Would I need to use something to set them in order to ensure they won't come off?

Probably will need to be cured, because they are water based and washable . I think varnishing could work too, regardless of material of totes...

I ordered the beige set and I think it may be possible IF you use a method that will not soak the fabric. You can try on the fabric covered cardboard insert. Is there a sponge painting technique? Could you stipple on fabric paint? It would take experimentation.

The water-based paint won't harm the balloon and should last...as long as there's no risk of it getting wet. Keep in mind the pens work best when facing down...which could be a challenge if the balloon is filled with helium :-) I wouldn't use the extra-fine tip because it's pretty pointy and might poke through, but a fine tip or medium tip would work as long as you get the paint flowing pretty well BEFORE you start so you won't need to use too much pressure. Also I would have a slightly moist paper towel ready just in case you make a mistake so you can quickly "erase" it. Good luck and post a picture if you can so we can see how it worked out!

Not if you wish to store the paint for a long time, these will likely let the paint dry out as there is no air tight seal. Also, these would hold an incredible small amount of paint... BUT maybe if you put a little plastic wrap over the top before you screw the lid on, it would keep the paint a bit better :)

I would use a paint made specific for fabric, I assume it would peel off when you washed it, it doesn't list fabric as a choice to use on the can, so it's probably not designed to withstand the movement/washings. You could always experiment? Sometimes things work for unintentional purposes? But to be clear, they don't recommended it. Good luck on your project! : )

I would plenty heavy to hold stretched canvases, I had dishes in mine in our travel travel trailer and it worked great. I am an artist also, I have stretched canvases of that size. Tomorrow (it is 9:30 PM my time) I will put some canvases in mine and get back to you in the AM as to how that works out, OK?

These are a molded plastic and I don't think conventional paint will adhere. Some of the new Krylon paints for plastic may work

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

We have hand washed the set and have had no problems. The paint really stayed on well. Just make sure you bake it after it is painted so the paint sets in.

Probably not. If you try to peel them off using a tool or some sort of scraper, you risk that scratching the paint. These things are super secure. There really is no delicate way to peel them off.

Yes...I believe people bake items in oven to make this paint permanent. I am unsure of temp./time, but if no one answers with that info, try Googling. I know that I found that info accidentally when I Googled this set for more information/reviews prior to my purchase...I just don't recall the details!

I'd say they hold up pretty well to abrasion, but I'd also suggest using a sealer after your decorating has dried. This is just an extra precaution to keep your design in tact. Modge Podge is a cheap option!

Hello, you unroll how much you need for a particular design like you are unrolling some tape, cut it and place it on you nails, for designs like tic tat toe or use a small strip for a border doing French tips. You can paint over them and remove them before the polish is dry for a checker board look. If you decide to put top coat over them and keep them on as part of the design, they stay on for as long as you want them to. Hope I answered your question.

I use marker to label the bag. It works well. Just give a few sec to let it dry before storing.

I can say the bags do not shrink. Fabric paint probably yes, it is ok. The biggest thing we notice are the bags are really loose when trying to fill them at the store. So my wife purchased some rug hook plastic material and sewed them to make a box, insert them into the bags while filling and pull them out when full. No bottom in these just the four walls. We like the bags because you can wash them many times.

You need to use a soft cloth or soft brush (Oxo has one designed for Teflon pans). Stack them with paper towel in between or better yet don't stack them at all. I've had mine a year, no scratches and easily the best set we've ever had. Just treat them nicely and they will last. Only wish the mid size pot was a little bit bigger, but overall a great buy.

Yes. I did but something in between the bag to keep ink from soaking through. I had used iron on and color Sharpie. My kids at the party loved them and they hold up so much better than the paper our plastic favor bags. My own kids reused theirs quite a few times for our trips to the library or video store.
