Can you achieve a flock effect at home - on fabric or wallpaper?

By flock effect I mean that raised, velvet-like finish often used to apply a floral pattern to textiles or wallpaper. I'm interested in trying to do it myself on a suit jacket or t-shirt. Is applying it a process that can be done at home or is it altogether more industrial (expensive machinery; noxious chemicals; etc.)? I asked a textiles guy at John Lewis and he had no idea whatsoever. Has anyone personally done this?

I've used flocking on car-models (seats and carpets), and on stage-sets (wall-paper), but haven't tried it on fabric that would require washing... The applications I've used it on are a simple process and very much "home" capable.



Here are some links to the materials (and yes, they use on apparel !!)...

Reply:I'm not aware of anything to flock with, but if you'd settle for a raised, textured surface that isn't actually flocked, you can try puff paints. It's painted on in the desired design then heated to make it puff up into an embossed design.



Jones Tones are the only ones I've used personally, but I was happy with them. They're available at most craft stores or through Dharma Trading on-line.
