Hello everybody! In this video I show you how I painted this velvet vintage chair to look like leather, I've seen a lot of other youtubers ( Lone Fox, DIY Danie, and Jamie and Sarah to name a few!) trying out this DIY fabric to "leather" trend where you take latex paint and mix it with fabric softener, paint it right on the chair {or couch} and it magically ends up looking like faux leather! I ...

Honestly this took me like three weeks to finish because I really struggled with the table top.. but anyway I h...

How I do Image Transfers on Furniture | Polyurathane Method | Retold by Rae
Переглядів 904 роки тому
Hi! In this video, I do a super quick demo of how I do image transfers onto furniture using water-based polyurethane. There are many other methods to transfer images to wood, but today I'm showing you my preferred method. It didn't go quite as planned but I think it still turned out nice! You can use this method to transfer printed images onto canvas, wood, metal, etc. If you have any questions...

    Did you do a 1:1 ratio? At around 5:43 it looks like you did maybe 3 parts paint to 1 part softener?

    I have one coat of latex paint mixed with Downey on my chair. It has a bumpy pattern & I'm hoping by coat 3 or 4, it will be hidden. Your video is very well done and gives me hope that my chair will actually come out.🙂

    Did you use FLAT latex paint? or satin or semigloss or gloss? I see on the cans one is satin and one is gloss. I've seen other use flat. Please advise!

    • @retoldbyrae
      @retoldbyrae 2 роки тому

      Yes one color was a satin finish, and the other was gloss... I did not notice a difference at all between the two, they both were the same consistency and dried about the same, although the gloss was slightly shinier... I will have to do more experiments with other paints!

    I love your video. From a thrift diva-I am concerned you spent $20 for that horrid thing and then spent time fixing it. Gah! $5-10 MAX. Curb finds (depending on your city) and Goodwill. (Goodwill is run by employees who don’t care what things retail for).
