time consuming and takes lots of coats but its worth it .Every night when i get home i just pop into the shed and spray on another coat .At first not much happens but aftere a while the paint builds uyp till eventually you get this.It not perfect and the paint runs a little so i just colour in the runs with a brown felt tip

Very nice!

I love seeing people getting adventurous in their own creations. It kinda has a vintage look to it too!

Looks great!

But maybe next time i can give a few pointers.
1) cut out the design on a piece of glass
then transfer to the fabric.
2) Don't use tape, but some cheap contact paper! that's an actual vinyl and will work much better!
3) try some plastic paint. i have heard that stuff is much thicker and might cover a little quicker. or maybe it was the plastic dip spray paint...

Anyways looks great!
Larry

Another idea...

to reduce paint bleeding, is make your first coat, clear. The finished product will be less likely show the clear.

You may be able to use less white paint coats.
