Tips and Tricks
- The base must be completely flat. As soon as a bead is placed on a curve, a bulge or a bead, the bead tilts and an "egg" is formed.
- Don't skimp on color - the beads need some bulk to form or work.
How it is done:
- Wash the bag without fabric softener before painting to remove the finish. After washing, dry the bag and iron it. Cover the work area and prepare the materials. It is best to slide a sturdy cardboard box into the bag so that the paint does not press through to the back and the base is flat.
- Test the color on a separate paper. Then place beads directly on the bag. It is best to place the bead directly on the base from above. Detach the pen from the base after each bead and start again at the next point. Allow enough space for the individual beads in the motif.
- Complete the motif with another color.
- After a drying time of 72 hours, the cosmetic bag is even washable at 30° C with a delicate wash (turned inside out in a laundry bag).
