All the textile you use should have at least 50% cotton. It should be washed without fabric softener before applying the paint.

Step 1

Wet the t-shirt and wring it really well so it’s damp. This way the paint will be absorbed in better.

Step 2

Lay out the t-shirt take the textile between your fingers and twist. Twist until it’s a ball.

Step 3

Take the elastic bands and put them around the ball of textile.

Step 4

Apply the paint to the textile. Don’t forget the back. Let the paint sit so it can be thoroughly absorbed.

Step 5

Now you have 2 options.

Option 1: Pastel look. Rinse the t-shirt until water is clear. Let the t-shirt dry. Then iron for 5 minutes to fixate.
Option 2: Vibrant look. Let the t-shirt dry. Iron for 5 minutes to fixate. Then rinse under the tab until the water is clear.

After that you can wash it on 40 degrees.
