Tips and Tricks

Wear discarded clothes or a painting smock when creating, as unwelcome stains are very difficult to remove.

How it is done:

Before painting, wash the shirt without fabric softener to remove the finish. Allow the shirt to dry and iron. If needed, prepare a template and print it out. Place a piece of cardboard and the template between the T-shirt. Then secure the shirt with clothes pegs to keep the template and fabric tight.
Cover the work area and put on a painting smock if needed. Prepare the paints and the working materials.
The pattern shines through under light-coloured textiles and can be easily repainted with a brush.
Colour the motif with the individual KiDS T-shirt shades. Then let the colours dry well.
Detach the shirt from the box and fix the colours. Iron the fabric from the front through a thin cloth at cotton temperature for 3 min (without steam) or fix in the oven for 8 min at 150 °C. Afterwards the shirt is washable up to 60 °C.
