IT’S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW!

Those areas that are tied will remain white, i.e. the less the fabric is tied, the more paint will be on the finished piece.

How it is done:

The t-shirt must be light-coloured and free from finishes and fabric softener. You should therefore wash them without softener before spraying them. Carefully cover the working surface with plastic sheeting or paper.
Be sure to thoroughly moisten fabric first so that the paint will spread. Pull the front of the T-shirt up in the middle. Work your way down the fabric, tying it in several places. The more you tie the fabric, the more circles will be created.
Shake the Fashion-Spray before use and spray 2 – 3 times on a neutral surface (e.g. paper). Spray the tied sections in different colours. Use a generous amount of paint when spraying. After spraying, make sure you leave plenty of time for the paint to set (at least 30 mins or overnight).
Remove the rubber bands using a pair of scissors and very carefully unfold the fabric so that the colours don’t mix.
After drying, either iron the sprayed fabric from the front through a thin cloth or a sheet of baking paper for 3 minutes on a cotton setting without steam or fix in a pre-heated oven for 8 minutes at 150 °C. Check the heat resistance of the fabric first. The jeans are then machine washable at up to 40 °C. Always wash inside out.
