Silver Painting Designer Saree Making at Home
The metallic sheen of silver paint on a dark saree is pure magic. I’ve found that fabric paint mixed with metallic powder gives the most professional, lasting results compared to generic acrylics.

Prep is Everything: Wash and iron your plain silk, cotton, or georgette saree to remove any sizing. Place a cardboard sheet inside the layers to prevent bleed-through and secure the area you’re working on with painter’s tape if doing borders.

Design & Trace: Use a water-soluble fabric marking pencil or a sliver of soap to lightly sketch your design. Florals, peacocks, and intricate jaali (net) patterns work beautifully.

Paint: Use a fine-tipped brush. Don’t glob on the paint! Apply thin, even layers, letting each layer dry completely before adding the next to build opacity and prevent cracking.

Set the Paint: Once fully dry, this is the most crucial step. Heat-set the paint by placing a cotton cloth over your design and ironing it on a medium setting for 2-3 minutes. This ensures it’s washable and won’t peel.

The result is a custom, high-end designer saree that you made yourself
