Can you paint on a faux suede duvet cover?

Absolutely! Just make certain that you use fabric paint otherwise your paint will crack. Oh. And wash the duvet cover first but DO NOT put fabric softener in the cycle! If you do, you'll find that the paint doesn't stick well.





I've also found that when painting on fabric, especially if you're doing designs, etc., it's best to outline what you are doing first with either of the textured fabric paints first tho' I don't like the glitter kind (I prefer the pearly kind). If you outline what you want to paint, it keeps the paint from spreading out on the material or into another color. It's kinda like keeping inside the lines on a coloring book. I like using stencils for my designs and there are so many to choose from. It's really hard to muck up what you're doing when using stencils!





Have a great time painting on your duvet cover! And enjoy the new look!Can you paint on a faux suede duvet cover?
I dont know...but I want to know where in the heck you got the faux suede duvet cover...I want one!Can you paint on a faux suede duvet cover?
If you feel you must, you can, but be warned that if you use acrylic paint you'll face it cracking and making big stiff spots as it dries. You might be able to use fabric dyes or silk paints to ';paint'; your design on it, but only people who are advanced fabric painters and dyers should attempt those methods. On the other hand, what do you have to lose?
yes
try it
Sure.....use fabric paints. You can find them in most arts %26amp; crafts stores. Some big stores like K-Mart and Walmart might carry them also.
