Hints and Tips   Pebeo Setacolor Fabric paint is Photosensitive.    Spectacular effects can be achieved by shielding areas from light. Scatter items such as leaves or cut out shapes to the fabric after painting. Move items to direct sunlight, ensuring that the covered areas remain covered. Fabric sheltered from the sunlight will retain a darker colour, while certain items that shield the fabric will also absorb paint at different levels leaving a pattered effect. use more than one colour, apply liberal amount of salt in the areas where paint merges.
