The best way to get fabric paint off a brush is to remove as much paint as possible immediately after use by squeezing it out with a paper towel.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Remove Excess Paint: As illustrated in the provided video still, immediately after using your brush, work to remove as much paint as possible.
- Paper Towel Method: Lay the brush flat within a folded paper towel. Squeeze the paper towel around the brush to extract the paint. Avoid yanking the brush out, as this can damage the bristles.
- Clean Immediately: This point is implied. Fabric paint can be permanent, so the sooner you remove the excess and clean the brush, the better.
The video excerpt highlights the importance of physically removing the paint before attempting to wash the brush. The more paint you remove this way, the easier and more effective the cleaning process will be.
