- I want to paint a specialized personal T-shirt for a friend, but I don't
- want to spend a lot of money on special fabric paints. I have a boxful of
- acrylic paints from my art classes. The design I have in mind is not
- difficult and won't require dabs of color here and there. Is painting on
- T-shirts with acrylic recommended? Will it wash or flake off in the
- washing machine or the dryer? I don't want him to have to take it to the
- dry cleaners every time. Does it matter if the T-shirt is 100% cotton or
- should it be a blend?
-
- Any tips are welcome. Thanks
