Full details
This guide is for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to add permanent, flexible color to fabrics. The key benefit is its ultra-soft, non-cracking finish that moves with the material. A minor caveat is that it's specifically a matte pink shade, limiting immediate color variety without mixing.

FAQs
How do I prepare my fabric before painting?
Wash and dry your fabric without using fabric softener or dryer sheets. Ensure the surface is free of dirt, dust, and any finishing treatments.
Can I mix Tulip Brush-On Fabric Paint with other Tulip paints?
Yes, Tulip Brush-On Fabric Paints are designed to be mixable with each other to create custom colors. They can also be mixed with Tulip Fabric Medium.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 4 hours, but it is recommended to allow it to dry for 24-72 hours before heat setting for maximum permanence.
What is the best way to heat set the paint?
Once dry, heat set by placing your project in a dryer on high heat for 30 minutes, or by ironing on the reverse side of the painted area for 3-5 minutes with a hot iron (no steam).
Is this paint permanent after washing?
Yes, once properly dried and heat-set, the paint becomes permanent and machine washable.
Can I use this paint on shoes?
This paint is primarily designed for fabric crafts. While it may adhere to some shoe materials, test on an inconspicuous area first. Its flexibility is best suited for apparel and home decor fabrics.
How do I clean up paint brushes?
Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Shake the bottle vigorously before use. If still clumpy, try adding a drop or two of Tulip Fabric Medium or water to thin the consistency, but test first to ensure opacity is maintained.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the fabric is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any fabric softeners, sizing, or finishes. Reapply paint and ensure proper heat setting after drying.
Color is not vibrant enough
Apply a second thin coat after the first coat has dried for at least 4 hours. Ensure the paint is shaken well to distribute pigments.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
Apply thinner coats of paint. Ensure the paint is heat set correctly, as this process often helps maintain fabric flexibility. If the issue persists, try Tulip Fabric Medium to improve softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No special setup is required. Ensure your fabric surface is clean, dry, and free of sizing or finishes. Shake the bottle well before use. Apply directly from the brush applicator in thin, even coats.
Compatibility: Works best on most natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, denim, canvas, and more. Not recommended for delicate silks or very synthetic materials where heat setting might be an issue. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Allow paint to dry completely, typically 24-72 hours, depending on application thickness and humidity. For best results and permanence, heat set the fabric paint. Follow specific heat setting instructions based on fabric type (e.g., using a hot iron without steam on the reverse side of the painted area for 3-5 minutes). Once set, fabric is machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
