<p>Helmar 'Design Master" is what florists use to recolour fabric flowers - terribly toxic (use gloves , long sleeves and mask in outdoor area ) but does not fade in sun when used on straws or fabric & that is the real test to suitability of any recolouring. You may be able to buy from your local florist otherwise and a florist wholesaler. </p>

<p>Hi Ana</p>
<p>It just says 'water based poster paint' on the bottle. It is the type of paint given to young children and comes ready mixed in 500ml bottles. </p>

<p>Hi Susie, when you say poster paints, are they acrylic based paints? </p>

<p>I have since used the poster paint on feathers and then sealed them with a warm iron over a tea towel and they too have been fine even after the water test. As poster paint is already diluted it is not at all heavy or gloopy. I tried feathers with fabric paint but found it a bit thick. I found cold water dyes are ok but you need to be prepared for a lot of trial and error whilst trying to get the shade correct. I have used Dylon. </p>

<p>As childrens poster paint is really cheap (£1.00 for a large bottle here), perhaps it is worth a go on some odd bits and pieces. Fabric paint will be fine for flowers. I apply both types of paint with a make up sponge.</p> If I was to colour a hat base…tag:hatacademy.com,2017-04-13:6485913:Comment:2076712017-04-13T09:05:44.777ZNoreen Mc Grathhttps://hatacademy.com/profile/NoreenMcGrath
<p>If I was to colour a hat base or something large I use MTN spray paints. However I find them very heavy on lighter things like feathers and flowers...I assume it would be more of a fabric paint I would use. Could anybody recommend a brand? I am based in Ireland.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you Charmaine. I have made the fascinator today and still no bleed or colour transfer. I will have a look at Rainbow Silks as I have not come across them before.</p>

<p>Hi, I haven't tried this, but for future reference I have found rainbow silks is an excellent supplier for dyes if you want quick UK delivery.</p>
