Use fabric paint. Regular spray paint will get hard and crack as the fabric moves

No, it's too porous. And if you spray too heavy, it will stiffen the fabric and eventually flake off.

No fabric paint works best...spray paint bleeds and becomes brittle and stiff

i made a stencil and spraypainted directly onto a tshirt ... its been 5 years and the image still looks great, with very little fading.

you can definitely use spraypaint on fabrics, you just need to watch out for overspray

It would probably be best if you use fabric pain, or fabric marks/gel-pens. I have a gel marker thing that you use on plastic, and then peel off and iron it on any fabric, it works o.k.

There is no such thing as ordinary spray paint. Every spray paint has it's particular use.

Acrylic spray paint tends to do very well on fabric.

I think when you say ordinary, you mean acrylic or craft paint. I recently did a few T shirts for children with this craft paint. It was harder to apply. The area painted is stiff. After a few washes, the paint went off from a few places.

So, I realized that while it is okay to paint non-wearable fabrics, it was not a good choice for wearable fabrics.

On the other hand, I have a pillow case painted with fabrics colors that I painted 15 years back, which is still bright and nice.

It would have been nice if craft paint worked since it is cheaper than the fabric paints.
