Acetate Paper Fabric Printing

 

That's right, I used acetate paper to print this cross thing on a pillow case!

It's cheaper, easier and faster!

Though, I don't recommend speeding, lol.

As a proof, see that third cross on the second row?

Somehow, it still looks good, haha.

Materials Needed: 

Acetate Paper

Image to Print 

Textile Paint

Squeegee 

Fabric

Cutter

Tape

 

1. Prepare the image you want to print. I drew the cross because our printer ran out of ink.

2. Tape the acetate paper on top of the image you chose.

3. Next is to cut out the image.

4. Lay your newly cut-out acetate paper over the pillow case or fabric. 

Tape it securely in place. I repeat SECURELY in place!

And place a paper or plastic under or inside the pillow case or fabric to avoid staining the other side.

1. Run a glug of textile paint across the top of the acetate paper.
2. With your squeegee, draw the paint down over the entire acetate paper.
Make sure you have a nice even coat.
3. You can reuse the acetate paper by washing and wiping the excess paint off.
4. Once the whole area is covered, hang it dry.
