Applications

Spray paint has a wide range of applications in:

 

1.Mixed Media

Mixed media is an art concept developed in the 20th century. It occurs when postmodern artists begin to combine traditional arts - sculpture and painting.

Mixed media can be found in any creative product that uses more than one or two types of materials.

Today, this type of art is used by both professional artists and hobbyists. It is used to create various cards, souvenirs, collages, paintings, panels, and decoupage.

Characteristic of mixed media is that absolutely any materials can be used, not just classic paints, paper, and pencils.

For creating various art items with this technique, different types of paints, fabric, leather, cardboard, beads, stones, buttons, coins, cutlery, dried leaves, bolts, screws, various small metal, plastic, and wooden elements are used.

The use of punches, stencils, and border scissors is very characteristic to achieve additional ornamentation of individual parts of the mixed product.

Mixed media is indeed a very rich and interesting form of creativity. The resulting art creations are truly unique and extremely beautiful.

Spray paints find application in mixed media when painting various figures and shapes.

They can be used on any surface. With them, you can achieve a unique antique effect by spraying the surface of the mixed media.

 

2.Painting on Textiles

Painting on textiles is one of the most enjoyable and interesting activities. With very little cost, you can get completely new and unique clothes, bags, and shoes. Spray paints are the main material for decorating fabrics. You can create original prints, images, and patterns. They are very easy to use, resistant to washing, do not wear out, and do not crack.

When we talk about painting on textiles, it is best if the fabric is cotton. Cotton is a natural material that is gentle on the skin and works best with colorful materials for applied arts. It allows the paint to spread evenly and last longer on the surface.

However, this does not mean that you cannot use spray paints on other fabrics. You can paint on silk, cotton mixed with elastane and polyester, and wool.

Before you start working on the fabric, it is necessary to wash and iron it (if it allows ironing). Think about what exactly you want to create with the spray paints and choose the location for your print.

It is very important to stretch the fabric well to have a smooth base on which to paint. For this purpose, you can use an ironing board or another hard surface to lay out the textile. Once you have prepared the basics, you can proceed with decorating.

Spray paints are suitable for making various prints - animals, plants, various shapes, as well as inscriptions. Besides individual images, you can spray the entire surface of the fabric, creating a natural print effect.

You can choose between paints in different colors and make interesting combinations. This type of color material is suitable for painting with the help of a stencil. Prepare a stencil with a print of your choice, place it on the desired spot, and spray as much paint as you want to achieve the desired saturation of the image.

The more you spray, the denser and more colorful the image will be in the end. If you want to achieve a very delicate picture, spray lightly, with less paint.

With this method, you can decorate any t-shirts, blouses, jeans, jackets, blazers, cardigans, tracksuits, and leggings. Spray paints are also suitable for coloring textile shoes and sneakers. You will create incredibly stylish shoes that will perfectly complement your individual look. Use different colors and create unique decorations.

Besides clothes and bags, spray paint is suitable for painting on pillowcases, tablecloths, curtains, and other textile items.

With the help of sprays, you can also create original decorations for various occasions - weddings, christenings, birthdays, Christmas, New Year, Easter, and more. Decorating tablecloths and curtains is suitable for creating festive decorations.

If you are wondering how to decorate wedding chairs, for example, make covers by coloring them with the beautiful shades of sprays. You can match the paint colors with the overall festive decor. Similarly, you can beautify the tablecloths and curtains if there are any.

3. Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is one of the most beautiful and richly decorated techniques for handcrafting notebooks, albums, books, and organizers in vintage style. It is characterized by pages and covers with crimped edges made of cardstock in warm color combinations.

To achieve this effect, various materials and tools are used - punches, scalloped and border scissors, cardstock and sheets in different colors, ribbons, lace, glitter, etc.

Every scrapbook should look antique. With spray paints, you can create this antique effect on the covers of any vintage notebook, as well as its pages.
