Will poster paint come off of a white t-shirt when washing?

Question

hi there i am trying to put my kids handprints on a t-shirt and can't get fabric paint and it would take a few days for me to get the fabric paint off of the internet and i need it for father's day so i need to know will it just wash off or could i maybe bake it for a few minutes to stop it coming off?

Answer 1

Acrylics do not come off!  I'm an artist and I paint a lot and when I get acrylics on my clothing I get upset because i know it will not come off.  you can get any kind of acrylics anywhere!  Good luck!

Answer 2

um, you could keep it as a memorobilia and not wash it or wear it. I bought fabric paint at walmart, really cheap.

Answer 3

No it will come off as poster paint is water soluble!

Answer 4

I think that it will probably wash off if you get the washable kind. Try to go for a tempera paint (you can get them for like $2 at walmart). If you aren't able to do that, perhaps you could get a kit that allows them to put their handprints plaster of paris and let it dry. Baking the paint will damage it as you can't get it very hot.

Answer 5

If you really want to use the poster paint go ahead! Baking the shirt really doesn't make much sense so you should just make the shirt with poster paint but not have your spouse wear it for awhile. Or order fabric paint and make two shirts instead!

Answer 6

Use some enamel paint.  You must have some house paint around somewhere.
