How Do You Make Pink With Fabric Paint?

Published in Fabric Painting 2 mins read

You make pink with fabric paint by mixing red fabric paint with white fabric paint.

To create the perfect shade of pink, follow these steps:

  • Start with white: Place a dollop of white fabric paint onto your palette. The amount will depend on how much pink you need.

  • Add red gradually: Add a very small amount of red fabric paint to the white paint. Fabric paints are highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.

  • Mix thoroughly: Use a palette knife or brush to mix the red and white paint completely until you achieve a uniform color.

  • Adjust as needed: If the pink is too light, add a tiny bit more red. If it's too dark, add more white. Continue mixing and adjusting until you reach your desired shade.

  • Test: Before applying to your fabric, test the color on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure it's the shade you want. Remember that the color can sometimes appear different on fabric than it does on the palette.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Use high-quality fabric paint: This will ensure that the color is vibrant and durable after washing.
  • Mix thoroughly: Incompletely mixed paint can result in streaky or uneven color.
  • Work in good lighting: This will help you see the true color of the paint.
