Product Information
Full details
Tulip Fabric Paint in Matte Ebony Black is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to add permanent, flexible color to textiles. Its key benefit is its soft, non-cracking finish that moves with the fabric, making it ideal for clothing, home décor, and personal art projects. A potential consideration is that while it works on both light and dark fabrics, achieving full opacity on very dark surfaces may require multiple coats.

FAQs
How long does the paint need to dry before washing?
Allow the paint to air dry completely for a minimum of 24-72 hours. For best results, wait up to 4 days before machine washing.
Can I use this paint on non-fabric items?
This paint is specifically formulated for fabrics and is not recommended for use on non-porous surfaces like plastic, metal, or glass.
Will the black color bleed onto other parts of the fabric?
Once fully dry and cured, the paint is permanent and machine washable. However, during application, avoid excessive pooling or contact with wet paint on other fabric areas to prevent transfer.
Can I mix Tulip Fabric Paint colors together?
Yes, all Tulip Fabric Paint colors are mixable to create custom shades. You can also water them down to achieve watercolor effects.
Does the paint leave a stiff finish?
No, Tulip Fabric Paint is formulated to dry soft and flexible, moving with the fabric without cracking or crumbling.
Is this paint suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, the paint is nontoxic and machine washable, making it suitable for decorating children's clothing and accessories.
What is the best way to apply the paint for sharp lines?
For sharp lines, use stencils with clean edges, or apply with a fine-tipped brush. Ensure the fabric is smooth and taut during application.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure the fabric is taut and stable during application. Apply an even coat, and consider a second coat once the first is dry for deeper coverage. Shake the paint thoroughly before use.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Shake the bottle vigorously. If still too thick, add a small amount of water (a drop or two at a time) to achieve desired consistency, but be aware this may slightly reduce opacity.
Paint cracked after drying and washing.
Ensure the paint was fully dry before washing and that the fabric is flexible. Excessive stretching or flexing of the painted area before curing can also cause cracking. Ensure you are using the fabric paint as intended and not on stiff materials.
Paint bled or feathered on the fabric.
Make sure the fabric is adequately stretched and that you are not using too much paint. For fine lines, consider using a fabric paint pen or a very fine brush. Using a stencil with clean edges can also help prevent bleeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your fabric is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or fabric softeners. Pre-wash new fabrics to remove any finishes that might prevent proper adhesion. Shake the paint bottle well before use. For best results, use on natural or synthetic fiber fabrics.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, and rayon. It is not recommended for use on non-porous surfaces or materials that cannot be washed.
Care: Allow the paint to dry completely, which typically takes a minimum of 24-72 hours depending on thickness and humidity. Once fully cured, the paint is machine washable and dryable on a low setting. For best longevity, wash decorated items inside out in cold water. Iron on the reverse side if needed, avoiding direct contact with the painted area.
