Step 1 select paint

The first thing we will do is picking or selecting the paint that you will be using, when you have the paint you going to get textured put in a pale. When you select the paint you must keep in mind the paints you are always using, now for that reason we usually use acrylic black paints. Because it is usually use a base coat using chaos black.

Step 2 Different types of texture

When you have already your selected paint its time to add texture. This can be done in so many ways. One way and the most common way of adding texture to your paint is to add fine sand to the paint. This can add varying amounts depending on how textured you want it. You will get a feel for it yourself if its time to stop the adding of sand to the paint.
The other way to add texture to your paint is by adding Styrofoam bits. In doing this simply grind a piece of Styrofoam into your paint.

Next gather your debris and bits. And pour it in the bucket with paint. And there you have it. You have now your textured paint ready to use.

Fabric Paint A Baby Shirt

By Benetta Strydom

I was recently invited to a stork party and wanted to take a special gift for the soon-to-be-born baby boy, without breaking the bank in the process. I came across a lovely white tee shirt, and a brown pair of shorts. I decided to do some fabric painting to turn the tee shirt into something special. I chose an African design, but any other design will work just as well.

Materials:One white tee shirt for a baby ~ I bought one for a baby of 3-6 months.A light blue water erasable pen to draw the design on the tee shirt.Fabric paint in two colors: Brown and Orange. One fine paintbrush.A few sheets of white paper.Iron and ironing board.

Instructions for making the project:
1. Before starting with the paint project, rinse the tee shirt in cold water to remove any sizing in the material. Do not add fabric softener.
2. Allow the tee shirt to dry properly and iron it lightly to remove any wrinkles from the material.
3. Draw a design onto the front of the tee shirt, using the light blue water erasable pen. I chose the footprint of a lion ~ but any other design may be used.
4. Add a few clean sheets of white paper between the front and back parts of the tee shirt, so that the paint won't smudge the back of the tee shirt.
5. Paint the lion's footprint with the Brown fabric paint. Use the paint in undiluted form.
6. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before continuing with the next step of the project.
7. Make a watery mix of the Brown and Orange fabric paint, and use this to color the background.
8. Again, allow the paint to dry thoroughly before continuing with the next step of the project.
9. Add a caption phrase that will fit in with the design. In this case, I added the words "Born 2 B Wild." Finish it off by adding a decorative border around the design.
10. Allow the paint to dry again.11. Set iron on tee shirt's recommended maximum heat and iron the tee shirt on the reverse side.
