Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints can be used on all types of silk. The very fluid water-based paint does not alter the feel of the fabric. This is particularly useful when wanting to decorate more delicate fabrics like silk. Instead, it absorbs into the fabric fibres rather than sitting on the surface like some other paints can.
Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints can be applied onto the silk fabric using a pure sable brush. For larger coverage a foam brush can be used. Clean up is easy with no special chemicals required – simply use soap and water after use.
For abstract painting effects where colours can blend into one another you can apply using the pipette (built into the screw top lid). For more controlled areas of colour or creating defined outlines, use in conjunction with Pebeo Setasilk Gutta which creates a barrier between colours where applied. This water-based medium air dries in 30 minutes and is heat set using an iron.
The bright and intense colours of Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints will air dry after only a few minutes giving you a fast worktime. Once dry, heat set for 3-4 minutes on the reverse side of the fabric with a hot iron. (cotton setting). This will “fix” the paint resulting in it being permanent. You can place your decorated silk fabric in between some cotton fabric or baking parchment to protect your fabric if required. After heat setting leave for 48 hours, your fabric can then be handwashed or dry cleaned.
Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints can be intermixed to create an extensive colour palette and are a fun quick way to decorative silk fabrics.
