Flour Resist + Paint Removal | Flour Paste Tutorial Part 4
Removing the flour resist and paint from your fabric!
Unclamp your thoroughly dried fabric from the table. Fill a large bucket with warm water and slowly submerge your fabric. DO NOT do this step in a sink, the flour resist WILL clog your drain and pipes. You’ve been warned!
Soak the fabric in warm water to remove all flour – 15 to 20 minutes should soften the resist enough to peal off. Wash in a mild detergent with cool water. Dry after all of the flour is removed.
*Remove wrinkles using an iron or steamer.
ENJOY!!!
Your new fabric is done! Now get creative with it!
Fun was to use your decorative fabric
- pillows cases
- napkins
- throws
- scarves
I used my cracked fabric in a past art show.
Thanks for checking out this Flour Paste Resist Tutorial! I hope you had fun!

Thanks for this super clear tutorial. Your table runner looks elegant. I’m planning to use the crackled fabric with indigo color and combine it with cyanotype sun print blocks for a quilt.
