Why remove it ,surely you could get some cloth glue and add more Glitter even a nice pattern and it would be individual ..............just a thought

Thanks for all the ideas, I'm torn between the blowtorch and the glue and glitter at the moment!

Noooooo! Two years ago I was painting a canvas, squeezed a tube of bright green acrylic paint which shot across to our new cream curtains. I looked it up on the internet and it was soda crystals I think. Most companies provide solutions to the misuse of their products...just a bit of research or phone the manufacturers.

PS. I found out that WD40 removed a sticker from the bodywork of a car without permanent damage.

Nail varnish, an entire box of ear buds and an hour of gentle rubbing did the trick, now have a happy girl who will not be wearing her favourite t-shirt to painting class again. Thanks again for all the tips!
