Translucent paint will allow you to see some of the paint or fabric underneath. Use light-colored opaque paints on dark fabrics, or dark opaque paints on light fabric for high contrast designs. Opaque paint will cover any color of fabric or other (dry) paint. There are both opaque and translucent paints available. These paints are meant to be heat set so that the fabric can be washed and dried without the paint fading. Using fabric pens and fabric paint means that your bag can be used, washed, dried, and used again without any fading to the design. Fabric paints are specifically designed for painting on fabric. Painting my own market totes is sure is a lot of fun too. It might not seem like it’s something that’s very important in the grand scheme of things, but frankly if my brightly-colored painted flowers can make someone smile then maybe it does make an impact. Here’s the thing: when I pull out hand-painted bag politely say to the cashier, “No thanks, I’ve got my own bag.” I’m inevitably greeted with a smile and a warm compliment about how pretty it is. It’s probably got some company logo on it that doesn’t really mean anything to you. Sure, you probably have a favorite bag that’s the exact right size and shape for your needs. BUT, the one thing that nobody is talking about that reusable shopping bags don’t have to be ugly!
Either way, I hope that, like me, you have a bunch of reusable grocery bags that you take with you when you go shopping or to the market. Perhaps you also live in one of those fabulous cities that have banned single-use plastic bags from grocery stores. I know you already know about the giant garbage island in the middle of the ocean. Setting the paint using high heat will ensure that the design you create will keep on blooming even if you use it every day. Since these bags are meant to be used, and reused, the fabric paint is washable.
This project will show you some simple ways to brighten up reusable market bags with brilliant colour and permanent paint.
Market bag, lunch bag, knitting bag, beach bag, travel bag-it doesn’t matter what you decide to use this hand-painted canvas bag for because no matter what you choose, it’s a gorgeous way to replace single use plastic bags with artistic flare.
