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! !
Wow, what a difference. Looks beautiful!
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 🙏👏👏👏
The chair turned out lovely! Great color choice with the wood.
Oh thank you so much! I love this wood and navy combo 😊
Great Job & beautiful end product! Thanks for the wax tip. I'll be doing this to my family room couch. New Subscriber!
Thank you! I hope your couch turns out beautiful!!!
Thanks for the painting instructions I'm in the middle of trying to do a bench right now. But I have to say I honestly loved the print you painted over
I absolutely loved the original chair 😭
Me as well!
Very impressive, your chair turned out really nice and the wood is absolutely beautiful! Looks totally different, great job!
Thank you so much!! We are still enjoying this little chair!
Lisa// did you do your couch? I wanted to know how it came out because mine needs a color change.
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
The chair looks so much better. It isn't dated anymore. Love the color you chose, great job!
Thank you so much!! I love this wood and navy combo!!
They definitely play well together.
Amazing!!! I love the wax to make it less crispy!! Looks like you reupholstered with denim!
Yes, didn't it make such a difference!?
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.
so it is crispy??? you sound disappeared constantly so not sure what you did a d how you did wax?
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!
Really like the end result
Talented and ambitious lady.
Awe, thank you so much!
Beautiful.
No sound for a lot of the video.
Yes. Great pity...would have been interesting
ty!
Hello, I just found your channel. How is this chair today? ( 4 years later) I love it!
What fabric material is this? Will this method work for 100% polyester curtains?
If I am doing this to cuhions can I was the cushions after? Ive washed these cushions before so they will hold up.
Too late for me! I used a medium from Michaels but my furniture is hard crunchy ugh! Any suggestions to soften it? Its one of a pair and I don't want to do the other until this is fixed. Please help!
Great video thank you…. But l noticed there were a few bits you missed
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.
I don't think so, this was a raised print so it would be adding A LOT of paint to really cover it.
what paint was it? Fabric paint or acrylic?
What paint are you using? What is the wax? The chair turned out beautiful!!
This is Dixie Belle Paint and Easy Peasy Wax: dixiebellepaint.com/easy-peasy-spray-wax-8oz/?aff=177
My sound keeps going off too. The chair looks great. Who makes the spray wax? Do you use it on furniture?
Thanks! Dixie Belle makes the spray wax, you can definitely use it on furniture too: dixiebellepaint.com/easy-peasy-spray-wax-8oz/?aff=177
Does this work on custom jeans?
Will this work if you use any paint or it should be specifically fabric paint?
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.
Roots & Wings Furniture & Home interesting..thank you...
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.
Does the wax comw off onto clothes? Is the fabric now sealed after waxing, thanks
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!
@@RootsWingsHome and with the body heat in the summer?
@@amaliavet I believe Dixie Belle states not to add wax to painted upholstery. I believe you are right that body heat can melt the wax.
Thanks for the tutorial. Can i use latex paint on my comforter cover to match it to the color of the wall? thanks
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.
Good to know. Hope she replies
No volume after first few minutes?
Is the chair vinyl? It’s not cloth right?
It is cloth
can you paint leather ?????
Show us what that looks like in a year with moderate to heavy use. Then I'd be impressed
What about using a primer first?? That should cover the pattern
The pattern is in the weave.
no sound
The wound went out in this video
How were you able to make it soft because when you were rubbing your hand over it sounded rough still.
Jackie after you waxed, the dye is coming off..
I used Fusion paint on a settee a few years ago and applied the wax AFTER it dried-Great results that still look and feel good!
Why is your audio like that?
I was enjoying this video until the audio started cutting off. Thought you should know.
Too crunchy-
In this case, re-upholstering would have been faster...❤
horrible video sound disappears for long periods
I did promise my friends and myself not to watch videos that advertise products. Sorry darling, you might be very talented but UA-cam has gone mad on advertisement. Neither my friends nor I are part of it.
