Full details
Tulip Fabric Markers are designed for artists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add vibrant, permanent color to fabric projects. Their key benefit is delivering intense, vivid, machine-washable color without the need for heat-setting, making fabric art accessible and durable. A potential limitation is that they perform best on white and light-colored fabrics. This pack includes six fine-tip markers in striking neon shades: Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, perfect for doodling, outlining, and writing on textiles.

Are these markers safe for children to use?
Yes, the markers are nontoxic, making them safe for use by crafters of all ages under supervision.
How should I store the markers?
Store the markers horizontally with the caps on tightly to prevent the ink from drying out. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I use these markers for fine detail work?
Yes, the fine tip is excellent for detailed drawings, outlining, writing, and other precise applications on fabric.
Troubleshooting
Marker is skipping or not drawing smoothly.
Ensure the fabric is taut. Gently scribble the marker on a scrap piece of paper to re-prime the tip. Check that the cap was securely on when not in use.
Ink bled through the fabric.
This can happen on very thin or loosely woven fabrics. Ensure you have placed a protective layer (like cardboard) inside the item to catch any bleed-through.
Color appears faded after washing.
Allow the artwork to cure for at least 24-72 hours before the first wash. Ensure you are washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and not using bleach.
Marker tip is damaged.
Avoid pressing too hard on the fabric. If the tip is frayed, the marker may need to be replaced for detailed work.
