How to Use

1. Pre-wash and dry your fabric before use to remove any finishes that may affect ink adhesion.
2. Place a piece of cardboard inside the item (e.g., inside a T-shirt) to prevent bleed-through.
3. Draw, design, or write freely on the fabric surface with your chosen marker colors.
4. Allow the ink to dry completely, then heat-set with an iron (on the reverse side) to lock in the color for long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What surfaces can I use these fabric art markers on?

A: These fabric art markers work best on natural fabrics such as cotton, denim, canvas, and linen. They can also be used on synthetic blends, though results may vary. They're ideal for T-shirts, tote bags, sneakers, pillowcases, and other textile surfaces for DIY graffiti, drawing, and painting projects.

Q: Are these fabric markers truly washable and non-fading?

A: Yes! The markers feature a washable formula that is forgiving during the creative process. Once you heat-set the ink by ironing the reverse side of the fabric, the colors become non-fading and wash-resistant, keeping your designs vibrant through repeated laundering.

Q: Are these markers safe for children to use?

A: These fabric art markers are designed to be user-friendly and are suitable for older children and adults for creative and school art projects. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children. Always keep caps on when not in use and store in a cool, dry place.
