Thank you! I have so many cool ideas for t shirts for myself and for gifts and don't want to worry about going through the trouble of getting custom shirts made
Thank you so much for this I didn’t hv money to buy the medium I just learned you need to paint on fabric.. wanted to paint on a t-shirt and a pair of jeans Ty!!😇
Thanks so much for this! I've seen fabric softener as another option to mix into paint, but I don't buy the liquid kind. I'm not doing full shirts, but wanted to make patches out of old shirts that are too worn to be donated. I'll update with how they turned out!
I wasn’t so hopeful for future. Then I watched this lol. Can’t wait to try! Am trying to make a custom Jean jacket as baby shower gift. Started on a jacket but it’s for sure gonna be my practice run bc I found out hard way about bleeding thru. It’s obvious but I just had a ditz moment lol
It depends on what type of fabric you painting on.If you're painting on a stiff fabric like denim or canvas undiluted acrylic paint works on those kind of stiff fabrics.However if you're painting on thin flexible fabric like t shirt fabric then you should use half water half acrylic paint and a drop of conditioner like you say.
Thanks for the tip! I was worrying. I've painted my daughter's backpack with undiluted acrylic paint and wasn't sure what results I'll get. But the fabric is pretty stiff, hopefully it will be fine.
Also you should know that a few years ago I tested permanent markers on white cotton T-shirt fabric.After they dried I hand washed the white cotton t-shirt fabric and none of the permanent marker ink washed out or bled.
@@Sharperthanu1 I need to get whatever washer you have, my son pocketed a black sharpie without my knowledge and I didn't notice a full hamper worth went through a complete cycle. I noticed once I was folding the clothes.... I attempted any and every method to remove it with almost zero % luck and several hours wasted of my time... we all now each proudly represent our sharpie stained clothes around the house while also silently laughing and crying on the inside each time.
As an painting artist, I have always learned that diluting acrylic with too much water breaks the chemical bonding of the acrylic paint, therefore we use medium to thin the paint. So it makes me wonder how it doesn’t affect your result using that amount of water. Have you tried to use medium to dilute your paint? You can even buy fabric medium. Have you tried that?
This is because she uses the conditioner. Conditioners and fabric softeners are a type of chemical that creates a thin layer coat on any fabric that they are applied on. It bonds within the fabric and on top of the fabric which is why the design looks bright when first painted. However, when washed it is a slight bit lighter, because only the part that had the paint and conditioner bonded into the fabric is what remains.
These pieces I painted on and have washed many many times since are still just as nice as they were at the beginning! I haven’t used fabric medium so I can’t say how it compares.
Wel this method probably won’t do too well on a dark fabric sadly. I would say maybe invest in some fabric paint for that. It will not have the same watercolor look, but real fabric paints will work best for dark clothing. I used to use Pebeo.
Thank you so much mam you are great ...i am gonna to try on my t shirt ...can i ask a question that wht work do hear conditner when we mix in pain without using it can we not gain good painting ...plzzz ans mee
This could potentially work as long as your spray bottle puts out a fine mist... if it's too wet it will bleed. Also, you'd have to cover the rest of the shirt entirely so it wouldn't get any over-spray on it. And my last thought is, the spray bottle could potentially clog with the paint. Another idea could be to use a sponge and stencil. Just again make sure not to wet the sponge too much or the paint will bleed.
Do you prefer acrylic medium or this technique with hair conditioner? Because i have acrylic medium and im wondering if i should use it or hair conditioner. And if I use acrylic medium do i just mix 1/3 of medium to 2/3 acrylic paint?
When you paint the tee with acrylic paint does it come out in the wash after ? I’m using black paint on a red hoodie to fix some of the print will it come out in the wash I did use quit a decent amount as there was decent amount of print
If you allowed it to dry and then maybe even put it in the dryer for a few minutes on medium heat, then no the paint shouldn’t totally wash out. It does fade, but it shouldn’t wash out entirely. From my experience though, this method works on white fabric better than colored fabric. But experimenting is the best way to find out what works for you!
I’m sure you can just wear it after it’s dry. Once you wash it, the design will be a bit more faded and will sink into the fibres more so it will feel softer.
@@Delilah-is4bm The majority of shirts I’ve done like this are totally fine and I wash them all the time. :) But be sure you use white or a very light fabric and don’t put too much water or conditioner.
I really like this idea! A strange paint combo/mix I’ve made that worked really well if anyone is interested- mixing watercolor (tubes) paint with mod podge- It dried very quickly and has a translucent effect, I painted miniature flowers and leaves on a box, They stay textured and you’re able to easily layer them I guess it’s just tinting the mod podge really, so you can add as little/much paint as you want until your desired amount, Just remember the mod podge is milky when wet but dries clear, so the dried colors will be more vibrant/saturated than when you mix the paint in wet
Note- I painted w this mixture onto watercolor paper I covered a box in (didn’t have glue so used mod podge and had a happy accident figuring out how nice it looks) Anyways- I felt like I should add this note cuz idk if this mixture would work on fabrics too, I’ve never tried it, But sure will try it now
@@MädchentreffLeyla In my experience if the shirt is white it stays best. Some of them stay super bright even. The idea is that they fade a bit though. I think as long as you don’t use too much conditioner and if you stir it properly it shouldn’t wash fully out. Let me know if it works for you!
hello! what happens if you mix fabric medium, acrylic paint and conditioner all together? And i would pretty much appreciate it if u guys know how to mix all 3 like what is the ratio :>
Well since there isn’t a lot of info online on this yet, we are all just experimenting. I would try with just a drop of each per ice cube cup and see how it turns out!
One of my colors bled thru, I was doing a similar imposter for my son. I'm assuming I had too put water. How can I get rid of the "bleed " it's on in a certain spot... Where the eye thing is .. it went right past the black. Would diluted Javex on the white t shirt with A q tip work ?
I have to say that initially I wasn’t sure how good this would turn out, and I take back every second, no, every millisecond of doubt & and I promise never to roll my eyes at all those puppy & kitten video my Mum watches on here again! And she watches a LOT of those! We’re all getting older but when on earth did our parents start watching those,bloody things reduce them to pre schoolers! I’m definitely a new fan as well as a new sub and probably your first for both from Aotearoa (New Zealand) Kia kaha ❤🇳🇿🎨 It’s brilliant and I’m very impressed I’m surprised & very very much loving it all the floss\ loving it!, it looks awesome!

When you are painting on fabric with acrylic paint, some time the paint will start drying soon, in that case when you are mixing the paint in the ice tray, you can add a pinch of Urea which is used in the agriculture fertilizer, it will look like sugar or salt. adding this will slow down the drying process.
I would say it should work with a stencil as long as the sponge isn’t overly wet. If it’s too wet it might just bleed around the design. So best thing would be to test it out first on a scrap fabric.
Because that is what helps the paint to become softer so it can sink into the fabric. Without conditioner the paint will dry hard and will most likely crack.
this is awesome! im not sure if you still look at these comments but i just wanted to know how long i should wash and dry them? also, would any type of acrylic paint brand work??
I'm pretty sure the hair conditioner just thins the paint out so it really sinks into the fibers of the fabric. I only do this when I'm painting on clothing.
Hii!!! Is it okay, when i started to paint with like 100% acrylic (no water no conditioner) on the black t-shirt as a first layer? Im going to mix the acrylic paint with the conditioner on the second layer, it will be ok?
Well you can try that but I imagine it will dry quite thick. Usually we want the conditioner as a softener for the paint so it will sink into the fibres. If you already paint a layer, the conditioner unfortunately won’t do much. But it’s worth a try!
Well from my experience it kind of depends on your fabric. I have done this and it lasted really well and I’ve also done it and it faded too much. My best advice is, don’t use too much conditioner or water, and also, it works best on white or very light fabric. But you should be able to wash it no problem. I have one that I wash all the time and it’s still very bright! Also, be sure to heat set it before washing. Once you let it dry for a day, put it in the dryer on medium to high heat for a few minutes. That will help set the paint.
This is tricky to answer because I haven’t tried this method on dark clothing. I guess the best advice I could give is to try it on a dark scrap fabric first and see how it does.
@The Art Club Online well, I tried diluting the white first and found that it took too long to get it bright enough for the colors to show. So I opted for using undiluted paint. In the end it turned out pretty good! Except the shirt found its way into the laundry and was washed... it faded but it still looks okay. Lol 😆 thanks for all the help! This was a really helpful video! 😁
@@ashleeaustin358 Well that's awesome to hear! I did a couple dark shirts for my husband and they also faded but he likes the faded look anyway! haha Glad it worked out for you.
I have one that I still wash and wear all the time and it still looks great! I think it really depends on the fabric but I’ve definitely seen the most success on white tshirts. Ones that have dye already don’t seem to hold the color as well. I hope that helps!
Hmm… I don’t think it will have the same effect but I really can’t say since I’ve never tried. Maybe try it on a similar fabric that you can throw away if it doesn’t work?
Hmm, if it’s coming from a marker I’m not sure how you would do this. However, you could always try with just the markers on a piece of fabric that isn’t important. Just use the paint marker on it and let it dry then see how it does. I’m not very familiar with acrylic markers so I don’t know if it will work well on its own or not. Worth a try! :)
Yes hair conditioner. It softens the paint and helps it sink into the fabric fibres. I think any brand should work. Most basic conditioners do relatively the same thing.
I can't remember what brand I used, but I don't think it will really make a difference. Any regular hair conditioner should work the same. It just softens the paint so it will be more flexible when it's dry. :)
Btw for anyone who wants to do this on a dark fabric! Make a white base for the painting, and then, and only then paint to get vibrant colors.
Hey, great tip!

Do have to wash it after you are done, or can you just wear it after it finishes drying
I’m sure you can just wear it after it’s dry. Once you wash it, the design will be a bit more faded and will sink into the fibres more so it will feel softer.
Would I wash it as a regular shirt with soap? because am afraid my work would go to waste if it did

HI! Awesome video! Will this method work on jeans?
It could possibly work if you use a bit less water and if the jeans are light coloured. Hope it works for you!

Otherwise the black went on perfectly. And I can't wait to wash and see results. Just really hoping I can some how fix the bleed thru 😔
Hmm... black on white might be tricky. But I suppose it's possible. It might be more doable to paint over that spot with white.

Should we apply varnish over the painting once it is dried?

Hi, since this all is new to me....may I ask you what kind of Conditioner your are talking about (conditioner for hair)?
Yes, hair conditioner. I’m sure there are many different conditioners, but the majority of them should work basically the same.
Thank you for asking. I was wondering exactly the same thing.
NEW HOBBY INCOMING
Wish you had the recipe in the description or comments....
Oh yeah shoot… that would be a good idea. I’ll try to add that to the description. Thankyou.
Conditioner as in hair conditioner?
That's right. Yes. :)
When you are painting on fabric with acrylic paint, some time the paint will start drying soon, in that case when you are mixing the paint in the ice tray, you can add a pinch of Urea which is used in the agriculture fertilizer, it will look like sugar or salt. adding this will slow down the drying process.
Does this also work on stencils?
I would say it should work with a stencil as long as the sponge isn’t overly wet. If it’s too wet it might just bleed around the design. So best thing would be to test it out first on a scrap fabric.
Why is it necessary to add conditioner?
Because that is what helps the paint to become softer so it can sink into the fabric. Without conditioner the paint will dry hard and will most likely crack.
Does the paint sink through shirt
Hi! I have a question. Can I replace the conditioner with something else, like soap or fabric softener??

@@TheArtClubOnline ok thank you so much :D
Can anyone explain why yall use hair conditioner when using acrylic pain?
I'm pretty sure the hair conditioner just thins the paint out so it really sinks into the fibers of the fabric. I only do this when I'm painting on clothing.
Weird but can I try gloss paint on fabric?
Might work if it's acrylic. Maybe give it a try on some fabric that you can throw away after.
Did you treat the fabric with anything before painting on it?
No I didn't.
Hii!!! Is it okay, when i started to paint with like 100% acrylic (no water no conditioner) on the black t-shirt as a first layer? Im going to mix the acrylic paint with the conditioner on the second layer, it will be ok?
@TheArtClubOnline ?
Well you can try that but I imagine it will dry quite thick. Usually we want the conditioner as a softener for the paint so it will sink into the fibres. If you already paint a layer, the conditioner unfortunately won’t do much. But it’s worth a try!
How long would the paint stay in? Does it ever wash out? I want to try this but I’m scared it will wash out after a couple of washes.
Well from my experience it kind of depends on your fabric. I have done this and it lasted really well and I’ve also done it and it faded too much. My best advice is, don’t use too much conditioner or water, and also, it works best on white or very light fabric. But you should be able to wash it no problem. I have one that I wash all the time and it’s still very bright! Also, be sure to heat set it before washing.

Hmm… I don’t think it will have the same effect but I really can’t say since I’ve never tried. Maybe try it on a similar fabric that you can throw away if it doesn’t work?
What if your using permanent acrylic paint marker pens ?
Hmm, if it’s coming from a marker I’m not sure how you would do this. However, you could always try with just the markers on a piece of fabric that isn’t important. Just use the paint marker on it and let it dry then see how it does. I’m not very familiar with acrylic markers so I don’t know if it will work well on its own or not. Worth a try! :)
Can I do this on a black tshirt
No heat setting with iron?
I’m not really sure. I think that could possibly help. I had said to set it in the dryer so that may work the same way.
Conditioner ?? Hair conditioner? Brand ? Any brand ?
Yes hair conditioner. It softens the paint and helps it sink into the fabric fibres. I think any brand should work. Most basic conditioners do relatively the same thing.
Can you use that with gauche????
Hmm, I’m not sure about that but maybe! I’m not super familiar with gauche yet.
What does the conditioner do?
I'm pretty sure it just helps soften the acrylic paint so it can sink into the fibres of the fabric.
Forgot to mentioned what type of conditioner do you use ?
I can't remember what brand I used, but I don't think it will really make a difference. Any regular hair conditioner should work the same. It just softens the paint so it will be more flexible when it's dry. :)
@@TheArtClubOnline nice, ok I’ll try it, thank you 🙏🏼
Try using no water, the collors will look better
That is true, but then the paint will usually crack. We add the water and conditioner to make the paint thin enough to sink into the fabric. :)
@@TheArtClubOnline i do customs too and I only ușe acriylics and I got jeans from 2 years ago still painted
@@alexandrup9942 Wow that's impressive!
Is it conditioning shampoo?
No it’s just conditioner that I used. Not sure what would happen if you use the shampoo kind.
🙈kk got only that one eiish kkk
If I was this in the laundry does it get all the clothes painted???!!
Allow the paint to dry first and it should be okay. But don’t wash it with anything else. Wash it by itself the first time.
Life hack thanks
Hi there! Are there any other liquids I can use instead of conditioner? :)
fabric softener :)
Good idea!
I'm definitely using this very informative video. Will ant hair conditioner work?
Yes I'm pretty sure any conditioner could work. I haven't tried every single one, but I think they would all accomplish the same thing pretty much.
