I want to write slogans on white fabric - what's the best thing to write them with? They are for indoors only - decorating for a party. I can get to art shop, DIY or Staples but want to do it as quickly as posssible. Big thick marker pens??
Thanks

Hi, I've done this before... Marker pens are a drag - literally - as the material just bunches up under the pen & you have to go over and over. Plus the line will be thin.

I'd lay a sheet of waterproof plastic underneath and use a big paintbrush & poster paint. It'll take a little while to dry.

Oh God, you've got an hour... I'd get a roll of lining paper from DIY shop and a fat paintbrush & acrylic paint from art shop. Acrylic on paper dries in about 10 mins.

Good luck.
