These paints are so easy to use!
Paint your design on some copy paper (the colour of the ink is slightly different on paper to when it's transferred - you go by the colour on the lid):
Let it dry for about 45 minutes and then iron it onto material:
which I made up into a cushion:
Because I wanted a fairly sketchy look, the painting doesn't have to be perfect - I've gone round the design and added extra details with a permanent black pen. I've also added sketched leaves to finish it off (not pea pods as my OH said!).
The cushion itself is a very basic envelope design, and when I say basic, I mean basic - no zips, no buttons, no frills!
I transferred the images onto one piece of material, cut round close to the edge and then Bondawebbed and stitched it on. If your design goes wrong, you haven't then wasted a whole cushion cover!
Thanks for looking!

Fab cushion Helen - love the soft colours! Jean x
HI Helen, Pleased to see you've done this post as despite asking you several times about the paint I'd still forgotten by the time I got home!! You already know how much I love this cushion (and my Helen Chilton original card)- thank you. Are you going to let anyone lean against it on the sofa?! It's been nice seeing all your posts this summer, it's a shame you have to go back to 'school' in a couple of weeks!! x
this is one lovely cushion Helen! Peapods indeed hahaha! As a fabric user I can see real potential with this paint :D xxx
