Can you mix fabric softener with acrylic paint to make fabric paint?
Can you mix fabric softener with acrylic paint to make fabric paint? for those of you who like to make your own patches or paint directly on the jacket, i've got tip for y'all! fabric paint can be expensive, and it's kinda crusty when it dries. instead, mix acrylic paint with an equal amount of fabric softener. when it dries, it's super soft and can stretch with the fabric!
What is a substitute for fabric paint?
The easiest way to make a fabric paint from a basic acrylic paint is to thin it using an acrylic medium. I used a transparent Liquitex gloss medium which works well for light colored fabrics. If you want to use your paint for darker colors, it would be better to use an opaque gloss or matte medium.
