Fevicryl Acrylic Powder Colour | Gold 08 | 5 g - Metallic Powder for Fabric

Give fabric and craft pieces a gold metallic shine with Fevicryl Acrylic Powder Colour Gold 08, a 5 g jar of dry metallic powder. It is not a ready paint. You mix it with a hobby medium or binder before painting, then apply it like a metallic colour on fabric, canvas, wood and paper. The pack carries fabric care instructions, so it is made with fabric painting in mind.

Specifications

Compatibility

Works with: fabric, which the pack care instructions cover, plus canvas, wood and paper once the powder is mixed with a medium.

Pairs well with: a hobby medium or binder, a fine round brush for lines and a flat brush for fills, and Fevicryl 3D outliners for raised borders.

Not suitable for: use on its own without a medium, since dry powder will not stay on the surface. It is not a loose glitter.

Before You Buy

• Medium or binder not included. The powder must be mixed before it can be painted.
• 5 g is a small jar for details, borders and highlights rather than large areas.
• The pack states that fabric painted with this colour needs more ironing for fastness than plain fabric colours. Iron on the reverse after 24 hours.
• Wash in normal cold water and avoid scrubbing.

How to Use

1. For fabric, wash out the starch first, then dry and iron the cloth flat.
2. Put a little powder on a palette and add a hobby medium or binder a few drops at a time until the mix is smooth and brushable.
3. Paint with a brush. Place a card inside a garment so colour does not go through.
4. Let it dry, then iron on the reverse side after 24 hours to set the colour on fabric.
5. Wash in cold water without scrubbing.
