A neck warmer with watercolour effects

1   Wash the neck warmer. Mix Textile Medium with water in the ratio 1:1.

2   Fill 3/4 of a pipette with art aqua liquid watercolour and add this to the mixture (Textile Medium and water). Mix well.

3   Place a sheet of plastic inside the neck warmer to prevent smudging on the other side. Make sure that the neck warmer is wet when painting so that the colours run slightly into each other. Also leave some areas white.

4   Once this side is dry, turn over but leave the piece of plastic inside the neck warmer. Paint this side. Avoid getting the edges too wet to prevent the paint forming blotches on the other side. Leave to dry.

5   Fix with an iron. Place either a tea towel or a piece of baking paper on top. Rinse out the excess colour and iron until dry. Wash by hand at 30°C.
