They sell fabric paint at most craft stores
I have used fabric paint from Micheals which was fabulous!!!! However fabric paint does not always come in the variety of colors and the 'in between' muted colors that we all like. There is a fabric medium that you can get that can be mixed with any latex paint. This will allow the paint to absorb into the fabric correctly. Try liquitex fabric medium or ceramcoat textile medium. I haven't done this yet so I don't have one of my own posts for you but I have thought about doing it myself and I would use these products. Follow the directions for mixture and use. Good luck!

It is super easy to paint fabric with Dixie Belle:
Step one: Mist the fabric to allow it to accept the paint
Step two: Paint one coat of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
Step three: Allow to dry and sand with a sanding sponge
Step four: Paint a second coat if you'd like, followed by sanding
Step five: Apply Easy Peasy Spray Wax if you'd like a little more protection if it will be used a lot
