🎨Paints: Use a good quality craft acrylic paint, if your paint is runny or seems thin, it won't perform as well as paints that have body and are not thin.

I definitely recommend heat setting after it dries. I steciled mandalas on a pair of very light jeans and they pretty much disappeared when the jeans were washed. I KNEW about heat setting, but unfortunately I forgot to do it. Wahh Wahh Wahhh..... :/

[@StudioR12Stencils]

Oh!!! Good tip! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@BrendaBench]

Can't wait to try this😊

[@StudioR12Stencils]

We can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[@user-ip4dk9gc8n]

Love this project! Where can I find the metallic luster mentioned at 6:13?

[@StudioR12Stencils]

Hi!! Thank you! The Metallic Lustre is DecoArt brand! You can get it on their website or Amazon!

[@trishlanza4367]

Why don't you use Pixie Spray on the stencils when you paint on fabric? I found it stuck the stencil very well and the edges were crisp and looked good. No bleeding at all. Thanks for the info on heat setting after the tote bag is done, I don't want it to wash out right away!

[@StudioR12Stencils]

Thanks for the tip! We will have to check that product out!

[@sherrybradshaw6504]

I totally love your bag but please tell me how do you keep the stenciling so clean as far as no bleeding around the letters. Thank you

[@StudioR12Stencils]

Hi!! Check out our stencil basics video! There are a few things that go into this. Dome shaped brush, good acrylic paint (thicker not watery), offload your brush after putting paint on it, then swirling lightly. You’ll do several layers. Here’s the video link where we walk through these steps kzbin.info/www/bejne/raWWg3quppKoqq8si=CSuvP3EpYCSa-0-E Let us know if you have any further questions 😀

[@carmelina.gregorio]

Where can I purchase that Canva bag? Love it.

[@StudioR12Stencils]

We picked it up a couple of years ago, probably at a craft store. It does not have a tag or brand inside.

[@RainbowSauceGames]

For a tote bag, is acrylic paint ok to use on it’s own or would it be better to mix it with the fabric medium?

[@StudioR12Stencils]

We use acrylic paint.

[@RainbowSauceGames]

@@StudioR12StencilsThank you! So just acrylic paint on its own and then heat set it after it’s dried.

[@StudioR12Stencils]

Yes, that should work for you!

[@gmac475]

Does one have to wash the bag before stenciling?

[@StudioR12Stencils]

We did not !

[@DeeDeeKarol]
