Zenacolor - 40 Fabric Pens Permanent for Clothes - Fine Point

I absolutely love these fabric paint pens! The quality is amazing and there are so many colours to choose from. I used them to create different designs on 7 tops for Total Warrior, and they worked brilliantly. I was especially impressed with how well the designs held up. The tops went through loads of mud and water during Total Warrior and then went through the washing machine afterwards, but the designs didn’t wash away at all. They still had plenty of colour and looked great! The pens also didn’t streak while I was using them and I had no issues with the colours bleeding into each other, which made creating the designs so much easier. Overall, I’m really impressed with these. Great range of colours, easy to use and incredibly durable. I would definitely recommend them!

Work great, fantastic colour selection and worked well on fabrics as suggested. Dried quickly, a little bleeding on fabric but overall good

These pens are decent: great selection of colours, good value, easy to use and no duds. However, the packet doesn’t say you need to do anything to fix the designs before washing - but it really, really helps to iron on a cotton setting for ~4min first! (One of the pictures on the Amazon listing does mention it.) The picture shows a test we did, comparing ironing before washing (left) against just washing (right). There’s a clear win for the ironing. You should also wash at a maximum of 30°C. There’s more fading if you wash at 40 (as in the picture). Without ironing some colours disappear completely at 40! The ironed side resisted even this better too, but 30 is your friend. You’ll see from the picture that we were comparing against another brand. Those pens came with the fixing instructions that we followed in our test on both brands. The other brand washes better and remains more vivid, even at 40 and even if you don’t fix as instructed; but the selection of colours in these Zenacolor pens is vastly better, and all the pens worked (not true of the others). Nevertheless, I’d probably use the other brand in future projects where I didn’t mind the limited palette, because of the better durability. Edit to add: Dozens of 30° washes later, the designs with these pens (that we ironed to set) have lasted pretty well. They’ve inevitably faded a bit, but are still clear. So as long as you treat them right, these pens work well! Edit 2: Would you believe, there actually are some usage instructions - including a low key suggestion that you could iron the design to “help” set it - on the piece of cardboard *between the two layers of pens*! 4 months it took me to find that, and then only because the box tore and fell apart. Argh! Anyway, IRON YOUR DESIGNS!

These are so nice and great quality they have lasted quite a while now and don’t make the colouring wet they dry after a short time and are very vibrant colours so easy to hold and easy to colour in

Really useful fabric pens in a good range of colours that dry speedily.

They dry out very fast. Colours show better on white. The pens fall about in the packet and get lost on the floor. They would be fine for a school project that is over in 1 wk. Some colours are good. So they are somewhat limited. I would recommend them from about 10yrs upwards. I have not yet washed the design to know how permanent the colour stands up. I will not buy again, not suitable for what I need.

Excellent value for money work well on all fabrics.

Great value for money. Big selection of colours.

Great colour range. Great pigmentation. I do wish they were double sided so I had a thicker tip, but it's not a deal breaker. I would still recommend them.

Pintan muy bien y los colores son preciosos

Vielfältige Farben. Hat alles gut geklappt. Wasserresistent. Einzig das Öffnen der Stifte gelingt nur gut durch drehen der Kappe. Das mussten die kleinen Künstler erst einmal herausfinden.

Stupendi! Abbiamo utilizzato questi pennarelli per decorare e personalizzare degli astucci di stoffa e sono stati a dir poco perfetti! Colori brillanti, facili da usare e ideali per lasciare spazio alla creatività dei bambini. Li consiglio assolutamente!
