Great video on using milk paint on fabric. Could hardly find any on the internet about this…Would have been better if we could see what you’re actually doing. The camera shots were too far, can’t see the texture of the fabric and direction of brushing while chair was being painted. Close up was only done while waxing. How many coats did you put on the fabric, please??? And would the powder structure of the milk paint not break down through the years??? How would one maintain this paint on a fabric??? Will appreciate your response…thank you so much for sharing!
With fabric, it's more like scrubbing the paint into the fabric. The direction does not matter, nor does the texture of the fabric impact how the paint is applied. The number of coats depends on the fabric color and the paint color. With this project, we went from Ivory, which was very yellow, to Marzipan, which is more pink. We used super thin coats and did 3 in an effort not to soak the padding. The paint will not break down as long as it is top-coated. We used a wax that should be repeated every few years.
Love the new look, Brenda! Milk paint is amazing :)
