Marabu Textil Floral Blouse

Do you have an item of clothing in your wardrobe that needs a new lease of life? Try upcycling it and restyle it to give your old favourite a brand new look! We upcycled a blouse with a floral vine design. This was really easy and quick using the Marabu Textil Painters which are suitable for all light fabrics that are free from finishes and detergents.

Here’s how you can do the same:

1. Before adding any decoration wash the blouse without fabric softener and then leave to dry and iron.
2. Restyle the collar by adding some individual floral vine designs. When creating your designs, add the branches so that they come onto the collar from the outside and are not evenly spaced. When painting the leaves, ensure that you leave a small area blank in the middle to give the leaves some more texture.
3. You can then also add floral designs to the cuffs in the same way.
4. Once the paint has dried (after about 30 minutes), you can iron the blouse to set the paint. You can achieve the best results by ironing the front, placing the design under a thin cotton cloth to do so: 3 minutes for each 30 x 30 cm area on a cotton temperature setting without steam. Then the blouse is machine-washable at up to 60 °C.
