I am trying to get hold of some fabric paints. Im hoping Fenella could decorate some fabric so that I could make some Fenella cushions. Thing is, I only really need a little bit, and only about 2 or 3 colours so I dont want to spend much money. Tried to google it and cheapest I seemed to find them was for £3 or £4 each. Can anyone suggest anywhere where they could be a bit cheaper please??? Thank you!!!! Xxx

I think that is pretty cheap for individual fabric paints. The other alternative would be something like Baker Ross who do a pack of 12 small pots for £7.99, or you could try using fabric pens instead. they are like chunky felt tips and much easier for small children to use (a lot less messy!) You can get cheap packs of those in places like Wilkinsons or Rymans. Baker Ross do them as well, but theirs are better quality and more expensive (about a tenner for a pack) Hope this is of use, Mum White x

Thank you.
I thought about fabric pens as I think they are a lot cheaper but I know Fenella really loves using a paintbrush so I was hoping to find some paints. Yes £3 or £4 wasnt too bad if I was buying just one, but really I wanted the 3 primary colours and yes, I am thinking I may be better off getting a pack. Xxx

Well here they are. They arent fantastic. I was going to do some quilting on them but I ran out of time before Christmas, so, theyre just cushions. I'm sure they'll be appreciated by family members anyway Xxx

They look gorgeous. That would be brilliant for big, floor cushions to make a sort of on-the-floor sofa! Mum White xxx

Thank you girlies. I dont know when I'll actually get to do it, but I was thinking about how cool would it be to get her to do smaller squares and then incorporate them in a quilt. I could get some hand prints on there too. (Although Fenella hates gets her hands dirty with hand printing) but I'd give it ago at some point Xxx
