Textile paints are specially formulated paints designed for use on fabrics. They are made to adhere to various textiles, allowing for vibrant colors and designs that can withstand washing and wear. These paints can be used on natural fibers like cotton and wool, as well as synthetic materials such as polyester. Typically, textile paints are water-based, making them easy to clean up and safe to use. They come in various forms, including liquid, spray, and even markers, providing versatility for artists and crafters. Once applied, they often require heat setting to ensure durability and colorfastness.
