Barbecue apron designed with fabric paints and liners
Instructions No. 350It's that simple:
First the apron is dyed with batik technique. After the apron has dried and been ironed, place the patterns under the fabric and transfer the contours of the motif with a line-ex pen, then colour in with Fabric paint
So that the Fabric paint not soaked, a sheet of paper Paper should be placed in the breast pocket
After drying, the Fabric paint is fixed by ironing. The apron can then be washed at 40°C.
To batik, dissolve half of the colour powder and 5 tablespoons of table salt in approx. 5 litres of boiling water. First rinse the apron with clear water and then add it to the colour powder, dye for at least 20 minutes, moving constantly. Rinse the dyed fabric until the rinse water remains clear, then dry and iron.
Place the templates under the fabric and trace the contours with the line-ex pen. The contours of this pen will disappear after some time. They can now be traced with a black Fabric painting pen
With Fabric paint now colour in the individual motifs, possibly apply a second time for an opaque look. Please note that before painting, a sheet of Paper should be inserted into the breast pocket to prevent the paint from soaking through.
Extra tip:
For painting on fabric you can alternatively also VBS Stenciling ink to use. Although this does not penetrate the fibres of the apron like a typical one, it can be painted to create a highly opaque brilliant appearance. The applied dried paint has a rubber-like handle and can be washed at a maximum of 40 °C.
