Fabric Painting

Here is a small selection of beautiful cotton coin purses hand painted today by students at Springwood Art Class. Students drew a selection of designs on paper first and then chose their favourite for the purse. 

We used fabric paint textas, which allow for precision in designs. Considering we only have an hour together in class, the textas are easier and a lot less messy for the kids to use than fabric paint. It's best to iron the fabric after painting it, to set the design.
