Painting bags with acrylic paints

For a unique look and just a good mood, every woman needs a bag painted with acrylic paints.

After reading the article, you can try to decorate your handbag in any style yourself.

With the help of painting, you can realize a variety of ideas using various paint application techniques.

Necessary materials for painting bags with acrylic paints

To paint bags you need to prepare for work:

• bag (leather or fabric);
• simple pencil, rulers, pattern;
• cotton pad;
• acrylic paints for fabric;
• degreaser;
• brushes

Important! Before work, it would be good to check how the fabric behaves when acrylic paints are applied to it. Leather is easier to work with. The smooth leather surface of the bag is almost ideal for painting.

Canvas fabric is somewhat capricious in the sense that acrylic paint is absorbed by natural fibers. The paint is absorbed well, and the drawing turns out faded.

Synthetic bag has the opposite effect.Acrylic paint tends to form droplets and does not adhere well to the surface of such a bag.

Acrylic painting styles

There are several types of acrylic painting:

1. Hot batik with melted paraffin or wax. When painting using this technique, an unpainted outline remains around the colored design.

2. Cold batik using contours of reserve compounds. The boundaries of the drawing of such a painting do not spread due to the creation of a border with a special contour. The pattern on the fabric is very bright and clear.

Boho style, stages of work

Painting in the boho style looks great on women's handbags, especially those made of genuine leather.. The painting will turn an ordinary female attribute into a colorful element of a stylish image. An elaborate design and drawing of a large number of small details can make a bag a work of art.

Step 1. Select a pattern and apply it to the skin (fabric). We draw the drawing with a simple, well-sharpened pencil. It is also convenient to use patterns or stencils. The leather surface must be wiped with a degreaser using a cotton pad.

Step 2. We select our favorite colors for painting and proceed directly to creativity. Each color is better than the color of the outlines on the fabric. It is not necessary to use black for the outline. You can choose to apply it in stages: first we paint all the elements red, then all the green ones, etc.

Step 3. You also need to choose any shade you like. The drawing on a leather bag using the dot application technique looks very beautiful. To do this, apply paint in the form of dots from the tube, holding it in a perpendicular position.

Step 4. Acrylic fabric paints contain a heat-setting resin. And when supplying warm air from a hair dryer, it can be used to give strength to the application.

In these simple ways you can transform a woman’s handbag from different materials into a masterpiece. Don't be afraid to create miracles...
