And there are no problems in choosing and buying new interesting clothes. But we are all individual, and we really want to stand out... It’s so nice to wear something that you can’t buy in any store!

At our master class you will have the opportunity to become a designer yourself and create a completely individual and favorite thing! This is a master class on painting clothes! We are waiting for children and parents to teach how to decorate their clothes using paints, brushes and stencils, which means that it is not necessary to be able to draw!

We offer textile painting using the Embossing technique to all our guests. Embossing is a technique of stamping on various surfaces, often used in scrapbooking and fabric decoration. Embossing is divided into dry and wet (hot), the task of both is to make the surface textured and voluminous.
The use of this technique allows you to diversify the decorating process, be it a postcard or a T-shirt. Embossing is interesting for one feature: the transformation of a simple flat pattern into a three-dimensional one. All this is thanks to the unusual properties of pigments and inks that change when exposed to temperatures. The color palette in this decoration is varied, sketch options are limited only by imagination, the technical level of complexity is medium/low, suitable for children over 5 years old. All you need is the desire to try the new kind decoration, all ideas and materials are available in our classes devoted to embossing techniques on fabric.

Painting clothes is a very simple, interesting process that differs from ordinary painting with paints, only in that you use fabric rather than paper, and then wear it with pleasure.
At the master class, you and your children will learn how to work with stencils and fabric paints.
With the help of stencils you can create any interesting image, the main thing is to choose a design that you like, choose colors and get creative!
By applying the selected image to a T-shirt and selecting colors, you will create a completely unique exclusive item, which you will then take with you; it will delight you and your children for a long time.
The ability to paint clothes can be useful to you in the future, because you can paint not only new clothes, but also worn ones in order to update them, make them unique or hide stains that cannot be removed. You can choose a design for your clothes on any theme and any complexity, starting with simple silhouettes, you can learn to depict your favorite cartoon characters, flowers, cars and even entire landscapes; the more you draw, the more you get.

There are no more boring monochromatic things, gloomy inscriptions and incomprehensible images that flooded all the stores. Now only colors and designs of your choice!
You and your children will love decorating yourself with your exclusive items.
In ancient times, it was believed that clothes decorated with paintings protected a person from all sorts of misfortunes. Perhaps this is true, because the artist, by drawing, conveys his positive energy and positively charged thoughts to things. Painted clothes cannot but evoke a lot of positive emotions both during the process of creating them and while wearing them. At the master class you will acquire not only knowledge and skills, but also great mood, and a lot of positive things!

Everyone has the simplest and even boring things in their wardrobe. For example, white T-shirts or turtlenecks. When such things become boring due to their simplicity, there is no need to throw them away. Another reason for things to be scrapped can be small stains that cannot be washed off. Drawing can be a way out of these problems. There may be several ways to apply a pattern, but in this master class we will consider the option of applying the pattern yourself.
For work you will need clothes (in our case, a white cotton T-shirt). In fact, it can be a simple one-color item. The fabric material can be not only cotton, but also some other material. It is also necessary to choose a harmonious pattern for the work. It can be printed and then transferred onto fabric using carbon paper, or directly drawn on fabric, it depends on your drawing ability. In any case, for convenience, it is better to place something solid or at least cardboard under the fabric to be painted. This is necessary, first of all, for ease of drawing, and secondly, so that when applying paints they do not leak onto the back of the T-shirt. Accordingly, you will need fabric paints. They vary depending on the planned material. In any case, neither gouache nor any other paints will work. Only special for fabric. You can buy them in specialized stores for creativity. When all materials and tools are prepared, you can begin to work.
In this master class you will paint a white cotton T-shirt with a dragon design. The dragon has green, orange, yellow and black colors. First, let's transfer the design onto the fabric using carbon paper. Having placed the T-shirt on a wooden stool, placing a piece of cardboard under the front, we place the printed drawing with a carbon copy underneath and begin the translation. Due to the fact that the fabric itself is soft, you need to transfer onto it using a dull pencil, and not a sharp pen, because otherwise the paper will simply tear, and the design on the fabric will not work.

When translating, you should press hard on the lines so that they are printed accurately; you should not rush, otherwise you will have to do a lot of drawing and correction by hand with a pencil.

After the design is transferred to the fabric, you should carefully and gradually remove the design and carbon copy from the fabric. It is best to lift the edges one by one and see if all the main elements have disappeared. If not, then you need to return the drawing back and circle the untranslated elements again, pressing harder on the pencil. It is precisely because of the need for this operation that it is better not to remove the entire drawing, but only to raise the edges. Once all the major elements have been translated, the finer details need to be completed. No matter how good and strong the pressure is on the pencil, small lines may still not be completed. In such a situation, you need to carefully draw all the lines with a simple pencil, thereby bringing the drawing to its logical end.

The next step will be to draw the outline of the drawing. This can be done either with contour paints or regular fabric paints. The differences in them are insignificant, and the choice remains with the master. In this master class, 3D contour paints for fabric were used, but they were applied with a brush so that there was no 3D effect (it was inappropriate). The paint should be applied with a thin brush, carefully and slowly. Wrong strokes will be very difficult to remove.

Before continuing to apply paint, it is necessary to allow the outline to dry thoroughly. When it has dried, you can continue working. It is necessary to paint over the drawing step by step, like a coloring book. It is best to decorate according to the principle of choosing colors, not elements. In this master class, after the outline, orange paint is applied to all parts that include this color.

Before applying the next color, you should always let the previous color dry or at least dry. After the orange color, apply yellow. Don't forget to rinse your brushes thoroughly when changing colors. If you don't do this, you may end up with a dirty and unsightly color.

Apply all colors in the same way. If you don’t have the required color in your assortment, you can always resort to mixing. To obtain lighter tones, you can use a special thinner, which is sold in the same stores where the paint itself is sold. It is worth remembering that when diluted, the paint becomes more fluid and may stick to the underlying cardboard (and if there is none, then it will leak onto the back). After applying all the paints, let the entire drawing dry thoroughly.


Drying time depends on the fabric and dyes used. On average, the paint dries within 24 hours. Special instructions will always be written on the box or paint cans. After the T-shirt has dried thoroughly, you need to carefully remove the cardboard. You shouldn't pull or pull it too hard because the paint might leak a little and stick. After the paint has dried, the T-shirt is ready and can be worn.

In terms of time, decorating an ordinary T-shirt will take at most a couple of days. But for little labor and money costs you will receive an original and unique thing.

Methods of painting on fabric

Options for painting various items of clothing:

After drying, the T-shirt straightens and smoothes out. If you did everything correctly, then abstract symmetrical patterns will be visible on its surface. The finished product is tied with a ribbon, which makes the design more complete.
  2. Outlines or markers. With their help, you can apply an image with clear outlines to clothes. There are markers for dark and light fabrics. Acrylic outlines are tubes of special paint that are designed for drawing on fabric. Their only disadvantage, compared to markers, is the need for uniform application. Before starting work, the T-shirt is stretched onto a smooth surface. Then the image you like is selected and transferred to the fabric using a simple pencil. The edges are outlined and the drawing is colored.
  3. Stencil. This option is perfect for pop art lovers. First of all, a sketch of the future image is drawn on cardboard. After this, it is laid on a stretched T-shirt and completely painted over. Then, the cardboard sketch is removed, but the image remains.
  4. Imitation of a suit. IN Lately The design of clothing items in the likeness of costumes of cartoon or movie characters is gaining popularity. A white tie, pockets and buttons on a black or dark blue T-shirt will look very original.
  5. Image on the entire surface. An excellent option for decorating clothes would be a pattern that runs across the entire surface of the T-shirt. For example, the image will start at the front and end at the back. T-shirts with animal images are often designed in this style.

  3. To obtain an image with clear shapes and boundaries, you should use the cold or hot batik technique. In the first case, the details of the drawing are outlined with a special compound that prevents the paint from spreading beyond the boundaries of the drawing. In the second case, the light parts of the image are impregnated with wax, which prevents them from coloring. The drawing is applied with strict adherence to the sketch, starting with light details and ending with dark ones.
  4. To give reality to the drawing, it is necessary to supplement it with a volumetric contour.
  5. You can use fabric markers to write pre-designed words.

7.When the paint on the fabric is dry, you need to paint the eyes with white.


8. We outline the heart with a black outline. It is best to do this with a special contour (it will be smoother), but if you don’t have one, then a thin brush will do.


9.When the black outline is dry, you can outline the heart with a colored outline, such as orange. Choose the color to suit your taste.


10.After all the contours have dried, we begin to outline the cats in black and draw out their faces.


11.After 5-6 hours, the drawing should be ironed through gauze or thin fabric.
