Silk shawl

Silk shawls are very trendy. Make your own choosing colours and patterns you want.

We offer a wide range of already sewn shawls and scarves as well as the ones with patterns waiting for you to colour them.

Material and tools:

a silk shawl from Gutta collection
a wooden frame to stretch the silk
pins for silk
soft brushes for silk

1 Adjust the size of the frame to the size of shawl and with pins for silk stretch it on the frame. The silk should not touch the base.
2 Start painting with a thinner brush for smaller surfaces.
Take care: stop the brush at least 2mm off the contour since the colour spreads by itself.
When painting a bigger surface prepare everything in advance since you will be working without stopping. If not, the dark paint will have a dark edge which you cannot cover. Use a thicker sponge brush for painting bigger surfaces (like the one for radiators). Such brushes absorb more paint and release it equally.
3 When the paint is dry, adjust iron at silk temperature and iron the back side of the shawl for 2 minutes, equally ironing over the whole surface to fix the paint.Wash the shawl in cold running water and while it is still wet iron it again.
