DYLON fabric pens and paints.

DYLON is a brand that you could be forgiven for associating solely with changing the colour of a skirt or freshening up an old pair of jeans.  However, there is a whole new range of exciting possibilities with the brand today.

My children and I had great fun with some of their new fabric painting products.  We started off with a lovely set of paints, 6 25ml pots of bright colours, like red, blue, green, pink and purple.

We created fab designs on some plain white t- shirts using brushes, rollers and stamps.  The paint was touch dry in one hour. In order for the designs to be permanent, we left them for 24 hours and then covered and ironed them.  My daughter decided to be really creative by mixing the colours to make different ones!

We added the finishing touches with DYLON 3D pearl effect fabric paint, which looks amazingly like beads when applied.

This paint comes in a handy squeezy bottle, perfect for little fingers and for doing detailed work.  The pearl effect was lovely when it dried on the fabric and stayed raised in a 3d effect.

To finish off, we created slogans and signed our creations with DYLON fabric painting fine nib pens, which come in a pack of 5.  My kids had great fun thinking up slogans to emblazon across their shirts and writing them on in swirly lettering with these fab pens.

These products are a real treat to use, and would be perfect to entertain kids for hours on a rainy Saturday, or indeed for a fun birthday party.  No goody bags needed as they can make their own!

The paints are priced at £2.61, the 3d bottles are £1.99 and the pens are £4.21.

Available from all good craft shops nationwide.
