    Hopefully this will help, but you don't state what kind of cloth. That will make a difference in how much paint you will use:

    I would also suggest that you search your topic with your search engine so that you can do more research.


    Good luck!

    You have two choices really. One is fabric paint of course & the other is acrylic craft paint. If you use either one, please pre-wash the fabric. Once the painting is done, you will have to heat set it by turning it upside down, placing a piece of parchment paper over the design & ironing on a medium setting with no steam. Let cool before packing it up. There are two things to consider though ... the type of material you are using (cottons without polyester) & the washing instructions. These are simple too ... simply turn the material inside out if necessary, launder in cold water with mild detergent, rinse in cold water & hang to dry. I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck with your project(s)! Have a super day!

    You can use any acrylic or latex paint paint as there is an additive. It's called Liquitex Fabric Medium. By using this you aren't so limited in the color range of your paint. I would suggest sticking with acrylic paint UNLESS you are considering painting upholstery which, by the way, can make pieces of furniture that are in great shape look brand spanking new.
