    Love, love, love it. I watched a different UA-cam video, about 8 months ago, where a lady painted a fabric chair and it turned out streaked and really rough. I decided to wait and find a better way to do it and abracadabra here you are!!! So glad you did this tutorial. Now I know the right way to paint fabric. You are so talented! Hugs from Florida

      Yay!! I think 2 things are key - 1 getting the fabric damp! and 2 - sandpaper!! This turned out with a little texture, but I'm okay with it! I think it looks a million times better! !

    Thank you. I know this video has been around for a while. It is what gave me the idea to reupholster my kitchen chair slip seats. I am using dropcloth and Dixie belle silk paint. It looks amazing! I just watched it again so I could see how you waxed it. Please keep sharing 🙏👏👏👏

    Perhaps it just me, but does the volume keep muting on and off during this video?? Anyone else? I feel like I’m missing some useful details as I see she is talking, but it’s muted 🤷🏻‍♀️

      It's muted because there is music and youtube would take it down because of copyright

    Oh my gosh. I could see so many small white patches on the fabric and along the edges where the fabric meets the wood frame, even after the second coat and the waxing!

      I heard waxing it gives our a leather feel and look though, so be aware if you don't want that. If there's a place to sample it, I'd Sry that first.

  • @skyelyte1699
    @skyelyte1699 3 роки тому +1

    Doesn't Dixie Belle specifically state not to add wax to painted upholstery? I believe it can melt and transfer to clothes and stain them. I have seen quite a few people paint upholstery with chalk paint and the coverage of yours turned out the best that I have seen.

    Do you think if you did anymore coats would it cover that print? Some videos I have watched they have done up to 5 coats of paint.

    • @RootsWingsHome
      @RootsWingsHome  5 років тому

      I don't think so, this was a raised print so it would be adding A LOT of paint to really cover it.

  • @kristinebautista7347
    @kristinebautista7347 5 років тому +2

    Will this work if you use any paint or it should be specifically fabric paint?

    • @RootsWingsHome
      @RootsWingsHome  5 років тому +4

      I have tried using latex paint with this method and it feels like plastic when finished, so I would recommend a chalk or milk paint for this technique.

      I used Fusion paint (and wax) on my 1st project...3 years later, it's as pretty (and softish) and intact as the day it was painted. I used latex paint (and wax) on 2nd project...6 months later, there's cracks and crunching in the project.

      I was a bit worried about this, but I let it dry for a few days before bringing it inside. It has never been an issue. We are still using this little chair and it's held up great. The paint is sealed!
