Match your paint colour to your felt colour.
1. Painted on visoflex
2. painted on visoflex
3. painted on heat and bondExamples of colours to use
Pink felt - Bright pink mauve touch of yellow magenta
Green felt - Yellow light brown and green
Yellow felt - Green brown and orange
You can chose what you think will look nice to your eye.
Paint the vlisoflex or heat and bond on the rough side with your paint. I water the paint down to about ½ and ½. You can even water down more if you like but not so it is dripping wet.
Do not mix the paint on the vlisoflex as you will end up with mud. Just wipe it over in one stroke then the next colour. Till you have it covered
Allow to dry thoroughly.
You will get different designs on the fusible webs. You never get the same.
Now place the rough side (painted side) on your felt and iron with a dry iron. Be careful not to get any on your ironing board or iron. You can use baking paper under and over to stop this.
Leave till cool (overnight if you like) then pull the paper off. It does not matter if some of it lifts off it will add character to the piece.

You are very welcome Pauline
Hi. I came across this title while browsing the net. I am curious about one thing. Was the purpose of this painting the fusible to change the colour of the felt? I love painting fabrics and want to explore this.
