For the following techniques, it is recommended to protect your work area with plastic. Spread out your fabric and wet it with water :

Paint with the sun : Apply the colours, without diluting them, using a large brush. Without waiting, place the stencils of your choice. Put out in the sun until completely dry.

Salt technique : Apply the colours, without diluting them, using a large brush. Then, sprinkle some salt and allow to dry. The colours will disperse around the salt creating spark effects.

Tye & Dye ! Fold and tie your fabric, then paint all or part of the fabric with one or more colours of your choice. Allow to dry at least 24 hours. The result will depend on the way you will have folded the fabric. Here are a few ideas:
