Expand your fabric options by learning how to paint your own elegant designs on plain yardage. Whether you're into stripes or prefer a more splattered approach, Anna Joyce demonstrates several painting techniques. The effects will vary depending on the textile you're using and whether the fabric is wet or dry, but experimenting with the brushstrokes is half the fun.
