You should be able to dab it on, just touching up the bits where the dye hasn't taken, let it dry, add another layer and so on. <BR/><BR/>For future ref, if you're trying to decorate fabric, acrylic based paint (mixed with water) will soak into wool or cotton, staining it permanently and once dry it doesn't wash out, although a washing machine may persuade it to fade a bit. Which means its a cheaper and faster alternative if you just want to put some motifs or patterns onto costume. <BR/><BR/>Or dab some colour onto white hats that you've just dyed into something a little less, er, angelic. ;)<BR/><BR/>Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing the results.Julie Spriddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205892238480112260noreply@blogger.com
