Painting Fabric Tip

This chair had a lovely frame but the upholstery was badly stained.
To get it re-covered would have cost a fortune, so I tried something drastic -I painted it with Chalk Paint ™!
Water down your paint, so you almost dye the fabric, this one needed 2-3 coats. I left it unwaxed but gave it a good ‘carpet beating’ to ensure no paint would rub off when in use.
And no, it doesn’t ruin your clothes, check out ‘Annie Sloan Wriggle Test’ on youtube for the proof!
