INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLUE RESIST DYEING
Materials:
Fabric-100% cotton, white or a light color, washed and dried without fabric
softener. Cut into manageable sizes for your samples. Setacolor Transparent
Paint, thinned liquid acrylic paint, or liquid fabric paint. Acrylic paint, and
fabric paint can be found at WalMart, Michael's, Joanns, Amazon or . Elmer's
Washable School Glue Gel. It's clear or blue and is available everywhere. Latex
or rubber gloves, plastic wrap, freezer paper, cups or jars for mixing colors,
foam or chip brushes, black felt tip markers (Sharpie) and spray bottle of
water.
Technique:
Designs are drawn freezer paper that is the size of the fabric. Trace lines with marker. Iron paper to fabric.
Trace the lines on fabric using the washable glue. Use the tip of the glue
bottle to draw lines on the fabric. Heavy lines work better than thin ones. When dry, the glue acts as a resist to the
applied paint. The paints are brushed on. Depending upon which product is used,
the paint should dry completely and heat set by ironing. Wash the glue off with
warm water. Dry and iron.
Important--protect your work surface, your clothes,
and your hands from the paint. All utensils must be dedicated to dyeing and
never used for preparing or serving food. Cover the work surface with plastic
or newspapers.
DAWN DISH DETERGENT RESIST
You can substitute Dawn for the Elmer’s Glue Gel. Let the
detergent dry overnight. Paint the entire surface with a dark fabric paint such
as black, purple or blue. Let it
dry. Rinse the fabric until all soap is
removed. While it is still wet paint the
areas that resisted with bright colors.
Let them run together and create new colors.
