Paint

If your garment is a light color, painting is not necessary. If it is a dark color, the section you want to customize must be painted so the print can be seen. Make sure to place a pad or a piece of cardboard under the fabric to prevent the paint from leaking through. Let the paint dry completely before the next steps.
