Delta Creative Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint (8-Ounce), 0802 Textile Medium

I bought this because I already have a wide variety of acrylic paints that I love using, and I wanted to be able to use them on this denim. This textile medium was the perfect solution. I mixed it with my paints as directed and the results were fantastic — smooth application, vibrant colors, and best of all, the paint stayed flexible after drying. I worked beautifully on my denim projects, and I didn’t have to go out and buy special fabric paints. This medium turned my existing paint stash into the perfect tools for customizing clothing. I highly recommend for anyone looking to upcycyle or decorate fabric with acrylics.

This works great. I have tons of cheap acrylic paint and did not want to invest im fabric paint when I already have so many colors of regular paint, so I was thrilled to find this converting fluid. I used little containers from the Dollar store to mix and store the paints.So far I have used it on a silky pillowcase and on a sturdy cotton apron. They both are stiff where the paint is and there is some pilling and roughness (keep in mind my base paint is very cheap brands like Apple Barrel, so that may affect it). But the overall affect is still stunning and I feel the products are good enough to sell at a craft fair or on my non-profit Etsy shop, Spoons to Spare.I painted and then added embroidery detailing and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I tested washing the pillowcase and the paint stayed on fine.The only other trouble I've had is that I can't use an embroidery hoop over any painted part or it creases the paint and the crease doesn't come out real well. That makes it harder to keep the fabric smooth while painting and embroidering.Also be aware if any of the paints are outdoor paints or otherwise dry to a shiny surface, it does retain that sheen when mixed with this and applied to fabric.

I followed the online you-tube directions for painting a love seat. I got a free black canvas one someone left behind at my sister's lofts and really wanted to make it pink. I chose a great color in latex paint from Behr, got this fabric medium and the sanding grit necessary. It took a whole weekend - sanding, wetting down the fabric with the water, mixing the paint and medium, applying a coat, and letting it dry. Doing it four times was trying. tough and exhausting - but the end product was completely amazing and so worth it. Three years later - it still looks like a fabulous leather love seat in a totally unique color that nobody else has. I would do it again in a heartbeat and I loved it so much I bought a cheap linen tufted headboard and did the same thing. Now it looks like an expensive ivory leather tufted one and I get so many compliments and constant questions about how I could possibly afford something like that on my tiny disability budget. What they don't know... If you have the time - the process isn't easy, but the results are amazing and if, like me, you could never afford leather furniture - here's your chance to have the look without the price tag. Good luck!

I bought this to add a stencil to some bags that I was making for Christmas.The directions were clear and it was easy enough to add, mix and use.Once it is on the item, it won't come off! My stencil didn't cut the o's, a's, e's etc. like I wanted and when I finished adding my paint realized that they were all black in the center and was hoping I could sand it off. Well that isn't going to happen at least not on muslin type bags! You will end up with a lot of muslin fur balls! Needless to say it works and worked great!I will also say that although I have yet to wash the items I added the Plaid Delta Textile Medium to, it is pretty hard. Like crunchy but it also could be the thin muslin material that I used.All-in-all it worked perfectly and I have a lot left to make many more projects with.

It took three 8 oz. bottles of this textile medium and a few coats to cover the whole couch and it looks so much better than it did before! Unfortunately it doesn't feel great to sit on in some areas. I'll explain what I did so maybe you can learn from my mistakes.Here is what I did:1. Took couch outside, cleaned it, and let it dry.2. Mixed paint according to instructions (2 parts paint 1 part textile medium). I also diluted the mixture with water because I read a few blogs which suggested that would help.3. Used a spray bottle of water to dampen the area I was painting to help the paint spread out and absorb (another blog tip I saw).4. I had someone helping me and unfortunately they were overly zealous about applying the paint, so my couch ended up crusty in many places despite using this product.5. Used sand paper to get rid of thick paint patches.6. I painted it outside in the sun, so hopefully that was enough to heat set it (haven't had problems with color running or fading).The love seat looks great now, but I keep a blanket over the seat cushions because they can still be scratchy to sit on. The arm rests have actually worn down to a nice soft leathery vinyl texture (I painted it in 2013), so I'm hoping that will happen to the rest of the couch eventually. I may attempt to sand it down a bit more or maybe I'll wash it with a scrub brush to loosen the paint from the couch fibers even more.Here is what I would do differently if I were doing it again:1. Do a test patch on the back of a cushion to figure out paint consistency and how many coats to do to keep it from being crusty.2. Use equal parts textile medium, paint, and water and pre-mix as much as possible instead of mixing as you go. (1:1:1 instead of 2:1 as recommended on bottle)3. Do several thin washes of color and allow to dry and maybe sand it between each coat, rather than doing thick coats and sanding after.4. Maybe use paint rollers instead of large brushes (although it's less control over how much paint goes on). I only used brushes and it took ages to paint the whole thing.5. If you ask someone to help you, water their paint down a little extra or be really good at explaining what they need to do...Over all, I'd imagine this product is much easier to use for smaller projects, but it definitely works for big stuff too. If you're going to attempt a big project then do lots of research first and also be patient and give yourself LOTS of time for completing the project so you can do it right the first time!Hope that helps!
