I've never done this before, but I would probably consider how thick your design was, the look you prefer, and how much time you want to spend making these (I would guess using fabric pen would take slightly longer- but a con of paint would be it may bleed underthe stencil.)
I found this article about choosing the right fabric paint for your surface.

my personal opinion is that paint is harder to control and there is a chance of bleeding. I like the look of the pens because I think it looks more precise and clean. It really depends on your design!
Thanks guys! My design is pretty thin, so I am thinking that pens, while taking longer, may be the way to go.
Quiche -
I used screen printing textile ink & a brayer... so the fabric ink is really thick and gooey. It's incredibly quick if you're using a stencil, and if you can cut out thin lines, you should have no problem at all! :) I printed my OOT bags in less than 30 minutes... which made them a VERY enjoyable DIY!
Hey Quiche!
So excited to see what your OOT bags will look like! I actually just placed the stencil on the bags, taped the edges of the stencil down, then filled in the stencil with paint pen, I didn't trace beforehand or anything - it went pretty quickly :)
The part that did take awhile for me was the letters - I used foam stamp letters, and colored on the letters with paint pen, then stamped them on the bags. But the letters didn't come out very thick in color, so a lot of the letters I had to go and fill in with more paint pen.
Hope that helps, and good luck!!

Hey Hive!
I'm on the verge of DIY'ing a design on our OOT bags & I am not sure what to use!
For example, Mrs. Lemon used fabric paint with a brayer over her stencil...while Mrs. Sundae & Kitty25Kat25 traced her stencil in regular pen, then filled it in using a fabric pen. Their designs were "thinner" or whatever than Lemon's, so just curious it that should be a deciding factor?
Also, do you have a brand of paint that you prefer? Any help is much appreciated!!
