What items do you want to dye using this technique?
I wonder if it would work on aida, so I'm sharing your video to a cross-stitch group I'm in as a lot of cross-stitchers like to dye their own material!!
Curtains, stained cloth diapers, hand towels, down blankets... So many ideas! They're all white so I should get decent results. Thanks for the tutorial ☺️
Can I use it on my outside cushions ?
My area rug, made of regular carpet fibers.
I have some curtains they are burgundy color, but will like to change the color on blue or grey with chalk color. How I do this. They are not cotton.
Hoping to get an answer. I know this is an older video. I have a very large couch I'd like to dye with chalk paint, your technique saved me a months with of work AT LEAST because I can dye the seat covers instead of painting them by hand! But only if I 1. Don't need to add wax to the covers after I wash them? 2. Do you think the color difference will be off because I hand painted the frame and dyed the cushions? Thanks for the tip this is great information ☺️
On another site, the person mentioned mixing fabric softener with paint for fabric. I tried this and it worked well. I didn't even use fancy chalk paint, I used regular matte latex. I don't have the link but search fabric softener paint and it will be there.
Thanks for sharing your tip. Did the colour hold when you washed the fabrics? I still have the towels I dyed in this video with chalk paint and the colour has not faded! I was pleasantly surprised by this, I use the towels regularly in my kitchen. I machine wash in warm water, tumble dry a couple times a month. I hope you’ve had the same results.
@@DIYDEANNA I used mine for recovering furniture and serving as the bottom of a repurposed tray. I tried a few different fabrics, mainly to see if they crack when they dry. They do not. I am not sure about the washing part.
Great clear instructions without the blah blah 👌
Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if I talk too much so this is helpful feedback!
This is a really helpful video as I’m contemplating a dye project… would it be possible to dye a darker colour? I have a cobalt blue garden seat pad that I would like to make green - my plan is to dye it yellow, it should work and produce a dark green I’m thinking? Thanks 😊
I tried this with a similar color chalk paint from Michaels, not Annie Sloan, and when I hung it on the fence to dry, it got streaks and dark spots that were not there when I dyed it. Like it ran and pooled. I did squeeze it out well so I'm not sure what happened. I made the recipe using 1 liter of water and 1 tablespoon of paint. I have them drying flat now outside in the sun. It was just some old work shirts to test it out on , but I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what I did wrong, so I can learn from it.
Thank you Deanna for great instructions. When mixing paint and water, what temperature is the water? 💕
You're welcome, thanks so much for watching. The water I used in this video was just tap water and sitting at room temperature, sorry I forgot to mention.
Super cool! Didn't know it was non-toxic! I was hesitant to use fabric dye due to that reason. I've done natural tie dye with vegetables and spices before. The colors are very vibrant BEFORE washing but fade quite a bit. It's a science! One question: how did you do the different color tie dye-looking one? Did you use a squirt bottle or paint brush, etc.?
Hi! Thanks for watching! For the multi colour look I crumpled the towel and laid it in a shallow backing dish. And then poured different colours of watered down Chalk Paint over different areas. Hope that makes sense!
can i shoes Lyse
3:18 Hi Deanna - I don't quite understand this bit _"Once your entire piece of fabric is completely dry you can remove from the water and squeeze out the excess"_
Can you explain please?! Thank you. 🤗
Sorry, I misspoke… I meant to say dyed, not dried. Thanks for watching!
Great learning experience thank you
Margo
You are so welcome Margo
Great video, thank you! I have quite a dark chalk paint and have just dyed 2 cushion covers, however it’s much lighter than the actual paint colour. Is there a way to get a darker dye? Shall I repeat the process? Thanks!
Awesome and so easy!! I’ve wondered if I could do this at some point and you just confirmed it! Thanks!
Love this technique! Would a linen jacket work as well? Thanks!
Can you dye outdoor chair pads
hi there, I have a light grey linen bed blanket and I want it a charcoal grey is this possible and can I do in washer or bath tub? any advise would be great :) ty
hi thanks for the video. Just wondering what is the best type of cotton for tea towels ?
Great, easy to follow, dye, dry and heat Many Thanks ✨✨
Hey Deanna thanks a lot forbthis amazing video
Can I ask if this works with darker fabric and turning it to lighter color?
I have not tried it but I don’t think it would lighten very well. Thanks for your question
so excited for ur blockprinting video!!!
It’s so fun! Hope you give it a try.
Can I mix chalk paints with fabric medium to increase the flexibility and longevity of the colors?
Good question! I’m not sure because I have never tried this.
Can u do the same w the chalk spray paint?
Very helpful INFO Thanks could u please make a video of how paint the wall behind of u ( bricks wall ) thanks
Thanks for watching! The brick wall is actually pressed wood panels that are made to look like brick!! I purchased at the hardware store, they come in 4' x 8' sheets and you just nail it to the drywall!
Great video! Is it possible to dye it as dark as the original shade of the chalkpaint? So that it turns out exactly the same shade as the paint? I have painted a cabinet in florence and would love to have matching sofa pillows
In my experience it always comes out a bight lighter than the solid paint colour. I think it would still match nicely.
Can you dye a sofa or love seat using this method
Thank you so much, I need help, what is good to use to seal the paint after painting. I paint my second piece of furniture and I think I mess up, after applying my white chalk pain, I used for seal the shellac and i notice left a yellow color on the white. The can said clear, so I thought was ok. What can I use to seal the paint?
Thanks for watching! I usually use clear wax to seal my chalk paint. Because shellac is a yellow colour already that might be why it made you white look yellow.
Love watching your videos! Wondering if you might do one on wall stamping - like, you could change the colors on your brink wallpaper to be blues and greens!
Thanks for the suggestion! I plan on making some videos about different wall finishes in the future so I will keep this in mind!
Hello. I'm planning on using this paint on a tasselled ornament. Does leaving it to dry next to a heater have the same "setting" effect? It's a somewhat delicate piece, I don't wanna squish it too much either.
If dying back chalk paint, to get a better effect, can you use black cotton fabric?
I have not tried dying black cotton fabric with chalk paint so I do not know but it is an interesting idea. I think if your fabric is very dark black it may not work very well, you might not see a difference but it your fabric is dark grey and you use black paint maybe it would work ok. Sorry, I don't know for sure but I am intrigued by your question.
Deanna,
I am thinking of using a off-white chalk paint on existing pillow covers I just made. The white on my pillow covers are too contrasting with the navy blue and I want to soften the color up so I it will go better with my beige couch. how would I do this process? Sending picture of my pillow cases. Lol how do I send pics?

Hi Gigi, you can follow the same steps in this video to "dye" your white pillows off white. As long as they are a natural fabric like cotton or linen it should work. This process never comes out perfectly even so you many notice a little variation, this would be subtle with off white on white but I just wanted to mention that. You can send me photos via Instagram if you've got an account @diydeanna
Hi would i be able to dye some faded pink velvet curtains, im wanting them brown.
I have not tried this technique on velvet so I can’t say for sure if it works or not. In my experience more natural fabrics like these white cotton towels work best. Thanks for watching!
I know you suggest natural fibres, but do you think it would work on a thermal backed curtain?
Thanks for watching! Sorry but I’m really not sure about this one, never tried it before.
hai i am from Indonesia and I like you're video, thank you Deanna.
Hello from Canada! Thanks for watching!
SO ,YOU CAN YOU WASH IT AFTER YOU HAVE DYED IT? i THIS IS A ONE TIME THING WHAT IS THE POINT?
Yes you can wash it! I use these in my kitchen and wash in the washing machine. The first time washing I do a separate load with just these towels, on cold as there could be a little colour loss if you’ve used a lot of paint. Thanks for watching.
Can you die black and write on the fabric with chalk?
Thank you for this video Deanna! very informative :) I wanted to know if you have ever dyed zippers and or hemp cords with chalk paint?
Hi! Thanks for watching. I have never dyed either of those items so no advice on this... let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out!
Have you tried dying wool fabric?
No I haven’t yet. If you do let me know how it goes!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

YOU COME ACROSS AS SOMEONE WHO GENUINE AND HAS A HAPPY SPIRIT, AND DEFINATLY NOT SNOBBY OR SELF CENTERED,,,.
IM NEW TO USING CHALK PAINT ,,,SO I AM GLAD I CAME ACROSS YOUR VID,,,
SO I JUST THOUGHT I NEEDED TO MAKE A COMMENT ON WHAT AN AWESOME JOB AT MAKING THESE VIDEOS,,
ITS JUST NICE TO SEE SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCH A GREAT ATTITUDE
Hi Kristine, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and leave another comment :) Your comments, views and feedback all support my channel and I am so grateful. Your kind words let me know I am on the right track with my videos, makes all the hard work worth it! Thank you!!!!!
@@DIYDEANNA your very welcome
Can chalk paint be used for stamping or marbling? Thanks!
I have done both stamping and marbling on furniture with chalk paint and it worked well. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYDEANNA thank you for the quick response! I'm hoping to marble stamp on linen to make curtains, I'll give it a try!
Have you worked with painting velvet kind of fabric?
Thanks for watching! I have never tried the chalk paint dying method in this video on velvet before, I tend to stick to cotton and linen because they are natural and absorb the pigments well.
Can you use any paint to do this or does it have to be chalk paint?
Hi Jane, I haven't tried any other paints so I'm not sure. This is one of the many things you can do with Chalk Paint so I made this video to highlight the versatility of this paint.
Hi Deanna, does it need any Dye Fixative ?
I have never used dye fixative with this method. I allow to air dry and then iron on warm or throw in the dryer to heat set. There was a little bit of colour loss in the first wash which is "normal" for this method. I use these towels in my kitchen and they are washed about once a month and so far the colour is holding. The look is much softer than a synthetic dye but I love the look. Hope this helps!
Can I dye clothing with this technique?
Hey! I haven’t done any clothing yet so not sure how the colour would hold up over many washes versus a traditional fabric dye. But I’ve done tea towels and canvas tote bags which I’ve washed a few times and dried in the dryer and the colour is staying! The process would be the same as in this video, it feels a little crunchy before you wash the item so if I were doing clothing I would make sure I washed the item at least once to soften it up and rinse out any excess paint. If you try it let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
Brilhant👏👏👏👏👏 loved it😘
Thanks so much Mimi! Hope you give it a try!
