Video Transcript

"Next, you want to go get some fabric paint. You can pretty much go to any craft store, Michael's, Pearl. Pretty much any local craft store. I've got 3 different brands here. There are tons of brands that you can use and it really doesn't matter which one you use. Most importantly, you want to check that it is a fabric paint because some acrylic paints are not meant for fabric. They just won't adhere correctly. Make sure that it says fabric paint and that you have you instructions because you're going to heat set it when you're done. Just make sure it's made for painting fabric and you're all good. Most of this stuff, actually all of it, is water based, so you don't have to worry about any other turpentine or cleaning materials to go with it. You're just going to use water. That's it. "
