Disperse Transfer Painting Supplies

DISPERSE TRANSFER SUPPLIES

·         Disperse powder dyes – I have lots for us to use. 

·         There are also Transfer Paints and Transfer Inks but I have never used these. Just FYI!

·         Fabric - This product only best on polyester, or blended fibers with a synthetic content of 60% or higher. 

·         Doesn’t work that well with 100% cotton. 

·         Sheer voiles; synthetic velvet and  lacy fabrics are some other suggestions

·         Even nonwoven interfacing works!  Good for layering!

·         Fabric should be washed, dried and ironed

·         Use white or very pale fabric

·         Iron

·         Photocopy or printer paper

·         Paint brushes (not foam) 2-4” is good

·         Print surface:  this needs to be a hard surface (old wooden cutting board, for example).

·         Parchment paper, newspaper or brown craft paper to cover your print surface

·         Drop cloth (poly) for color that may pass through your fabric

Optional

·         Images you might want to trace on paper to paint

·         Scissors

·         Plastic wrap, crumpled plastic bag, bubble wrap

·         Coarse sea salt

·         Sea sponges
