When choosing a paint for fabric, focus on the composition of your material. If velvet has a natural composition (silk, viscose), take the appropriate paint. In our case, velvet had a significant amount of synthetic fibers, the dye was chosen for synthetic fabrics and performed its function well.

Fancy decorative pillows: 10 ideas with instructions
Step 1

Determine the dimensions of your pillows and carve 2 identical parts for each. Fold the details of each pillow. Then fold them and fasten them with elastic bands - here the details of one pillow are folded accordion first along, then across, and the details are repeatedly intercepted by elastic bands several times.
Step 2

Dye the dye in water in accordance with the instructions for use and immerse the fabric there, drowning it well.

Wait for the dye to impregnate the fabric, remove it and put it in a plastic bag for the time necessary for exposure (see the instructions for your paint).

Fold the parts with their faces inward and pin them together. Lay the stitch around the perimeter, departing from the edge by 1 cm, and leaving a hole for turning out.
