Review on Enhance Your Creative Projects with the Jacquard Textile Color Exciter Pack of 9 Vibrant Colors by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A longtime and personal favorite

I'll tell you right away I'm an art teacher so I've used a lot of random high and low spectrum products. When it comes to painting on fabric, I keep coming back to those bad boys. You can mix, dilute and use over and over again. I had bottles years ago and the only reason I threw them away was because I was tired of rehydrating the clumps (yes they clump after 5+ years). One of the best things is that it soaks into the fabric so it doesn't cake the surface like many fabric colors do (yes I know it's more of a color but still) I generally like jacquard products and I originally have a version Bought some of these to use with my students. I also bought these fabric pens, which you can buy from a few different brands, as well as puff paint, but these were class favorites. They like to mix their own colors and paint, stamp, etc. Helpful Tip: Iron the back of the freezer paper to prevent bleeding. We also had issues with overhydration and bleed effects, but that was "to be expected when the water is over 75% Jimmy" (obviously not the baby's real name). I have used this on aprons, overalls, shirts. , and even shoes with excellent and long-term results. Although I will say that the angle of the shoe in the "I wear them every day" sense has yet to be tested. I usually make my cool apron at the beginning of the year and the colors are still bright and vibrant by the end of the year. I also have shirts that are many years old but still hold up well, although not as bright because they are the more popular shirts. I have recommended this to my fellow art teachers and enthusiasts and so far no one has told me I'm wrong.

Pros
