Using deColourant
Dee demonstrates how to use the deColourant product together with deColourant Plus.
deColourant is a discharge medium that takes the color away from natural fiber fabrics, and paper, rather like bleach would, but without harming the material and is entirely non-toxic.
Colorant Plus has pigment added; it comes in 60 brilliant colors in 7 color families.
Use de colorant Plus in the same way as deColourant.
The products can be used on cards, paper, and fabrics of natural fibers, i.e., silk and cotton.
Create your fabrics
You can create your fabrics from plain, and some suggestions are block printing, stencils, rubber stamps, and household items such as bubble wrap and kitchen foil. Dee shows us a wide range of things she has made to fuel your creative imagination.
Here is another excellent use of your rubber stamps; excellent, you cardmakers. We have several workshops with Dee that you can enjoy – starting with using simple household items.
Customize your clothes
You can also be creative and customize clothing, and it is perfect for children to use as it is entirely safe.
You can purchase some of the items from the shop too.
