:mad: Hello every one! I am new to this site, and being a mom of 4 kids under the age of 5 I am sure I'll visit often! My daughter went to a B-Day party and they let them use puffy art paints to make t-shirts..(The kind in a squeezable tube not the kind you add heat too..) I have scrapped off what I can but I can not get the color stuff off it is dark purple.(It's Like a ink spont, a LARGE one ) The shirts is new, can I save it? 100% cotton also. THANKS SO MUCH for any idea's! :) Cindy

If the shirt is white, you can purchase dye remover in your laundry aisle at a local home center to remove the dye. Puff paints tend to have an adhesive base and contain dimensional fabric paint and dye.
