Most fabric paint is a kind of acrylic that is tested to be washable and that is relatively soft and washable when it dries. In short, yes, it should be perfectly fine using it on cardboard the same way as you would other acrylic-based paints

Yes, you can paint cardboard using fabric paint. Here are some considerations: Advantages: Vibrant Colors: Fabric paint offers bright, bold colors that can enhance the appearance of cardboard projects. Flexibility: Once dry, fabric paint remains flexible, which is beneficial if the cardboard is used for items that may be handled or moved. Considerations: Absorption: Cardboard is porous and may absorb paint, so it might require multiple coats for even coverage. Drying Time: Fabric paint typically takes longer to dry than regular acrylic paint, so allow sufficient time for each layer to dry. Adhesion: Ensure the cardboard surface is clean and dry for better paint adhesion. Tips: If you want a smoother finish, you can prime the cardboard with a layer of gesso or a similar primer before applying fabric paint. Test the paint on a scrap piece of cardboard first to see how it adheres and dries. Overall, fabric paint can work well on cardboard for various projects, such as art, crafts, or decorative items. read less
