Mix fabric paint with shaving cream to create a textured, puffy effect on your fabric. Simply combine equal parts fabric paint and shaving cream in a bowl. Stir until well-blended but don’t overmix to keep the airiness. Apply the mixture to your fabric using a brush or sponge, then let it dry completely. This method is ideal for adding a three-dimensional look to your designs.
