I love Annie Sloan! Absolute Gem! She IS the real deal. And of course she did all the work and in a short period of time, her hands all in and with a genuine heart and smile. Love her! I've also Never seen a "host" leave to go pick someone up in the middle of a shoot lol. Speaks volumes as to the genre of today. Long ago are the days of Annie Sloan work ethic, she's beautiful and a treasure!!
A couple of issues that are not clear in the video: Water should be tepid. The website suggests 1 Tbs of paint per liter of water. I'd mix my paint first in a large jar, with water, shake well to disperse the paint and avoid blotches, then add to the remaining water in the basin, stir in well. After agitating fabric for a bit, remove fabric and wring out excess water. Hang to dry, over tub or outside. Once fabric is DRY, add to your Dryer, max heat setting, and tumble for at least 15-30 minutes OR iron fabric to heat set. If your end product needs to be washed, wash in tepid to cold water, dry as usual. I'd also wash it Alone, the first time, and take a peek in the washer before the rinse cycle drains, to judge how much, if any, it might bleed. Hope this helps!
Miss Annie, I absolutely love your ALL of your tutorials and can't tell you how much I have learned from you. I'm so inspired by you work and never stops to amaze me how real you are. Some ladies of your calbitor would not get in there, paint up to your elbows, no gloves in site... my kinda person, old school and real. I cannot say enough good things about you and I love your work. I now down to the queen of DIY.
This is life changing and I just love what you can do with Annie Sloan paints, my question is what happens when you need to wash it, will the stenciled areas wash out also will the dye wash out as well? Thanks Shenel
It doesn’t appear anyone answered your question. All I could say in response is that when the first color blue was added “ dipped” they put it in drier. The drier would set the color. In as far as the stencil, I’m not sure, unless they dried it to.
From Annie Sloan website: ;Once completely dry, iron or tumble dry the fabric to seal the colour. ... You can then wash your material on a 30ºC wash with no colour loss.
Love this so much! She said she put it in a tumble dryer...can this go in a normal clothes dryer? I feel like paint would go everywhere and stain the dryer.

Like this but Darn i used the Annie Sloan chalk paint to paint my linen pillow cushions i used like 2 ltr but it was a waist i used the wrong can, the wrong type of paint :-( and over here in Europe the paint is not cheap.
This is amazing. I love it. I would just like to ask though... after stencilling do you have to put it in the dryer again? And won't the paint go hard? One more question, what if you don't have a dryer?
Iron it-From Annie Sloan website: ;Once completely dry, iron or tumble dry the fabric to seal the colour. ... You can then wash your material on a 30ºC wash with no colour loss.
Lovely, but more than a little vague. How long do you leave the fabric in the paint? What settings do you use to dry it? After stenciling it, do you just let it dry, do you wash it again ? And how do you wash that blanket after? So many questions, so few answers...
Hi Felix Lizarraga! There are a few more details about this process here: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint. Hope this answers some of your questions!
@@ksundari86 I think she means "Heat seal it up" From Annie Sloan website: ;Once completely dry, iron or tumble dry the fabric to seal the colour. ... You can then wash your material on a 30ºC wash with no colour loss.
Hi Anjuli M! According to Annie's website, you should dip your fabric in the dye, allowing the fabric to soak it in, and then agitate the fabric until the whole piece is evenly dyed. But she says not to leave the fabric in the dye to soak. You should remove it from the water and allow it to dry. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching The Design Network!
Hi Janie Childress! According to Annie Sloan's website under Using Chalk Paint on Metal: You can Chalk Paint® straight onto all kinds of hardware, including metal work. Chalk Paint® can re-invigorate old brass and other metal fixtures and fittings, and it even covers and slows down rust. Any rusting areas should be sanded and treated with a rust inhibitor before painting. Hope this helps!
Hi, Joann Jacquin! We think it's beautiful too! Annie's website says that you can wash your material on a 30°C wash with no color loss, but if you use a stronger quantity of paint in your dye, there might be a little more fading. You can learn more at: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint. Hope this helps!
Hi Ld Honeybee! The water should be tepid. Plus, you can check out a few more tips on dip dyeing fabric with Chalk Paint here: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint. Good luck with your next project!
Hi, Gcebile Mackenzie! Annie's website says that linens, cottons, cotton voile and synthetic curtains all work well with this dip dye technique. You can learn more at: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint. Thanks for watching The Design Network!
Hi Riesa Harris! Here's an article from Annie's website about dip dyeing fabric. It also talks about sealing the color in the fabric by ironing or tumble drying and gives washing instructions: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint. Hope this helps!
Dominique Gianni-Embrey ..what's the ratio of paint to water, and what's the next step after you have your stained drippy curtains... should they be laundered? Do you suggest heat setting them right after they get stained? Or, should they be washed in cool water in the washing machine and dried? I really need answers so I can move on...I'm frozen by fear of messing up....Thank you
Hi Dominique! Here's a page from Annie's website that shows a couple of curtain projects, plus an additional video about dyeing fabrics. Hope this helps! www.anniesloan.com/techniques/making-up-dyed-lace-curtains/
Hi, +Ann Haws! We checked Annie's site and it says the following: To stencil fabric with Chalk Paint, apply with a sponge roller. There is no need to dilute the paint, but to keep the image from bleeding around the edges, try not to overload your roller with paint. Allow the fabric to dry naturally, then heat seal by tumble drying or pressing with a hot iron. Hope this helps!
Fun video. I'm just wondering if the paint was properly mixed in, why was there a concern with the blotches of paint getting on the fabric before it was removed from the dye bath? If the paint was actually thoroughly mixed into the water before adding the fabric, there wouldn't be any blotches to be concerned with. Thankfully, it appears the end result didn't look blotchy. I see many possibilities with this technique. Also, at the beginning (the outside interview) the girl mentioned she had a plain raw silk runner that she wanted to change but the item she brought was definitely just a piece of linen fabric with selvedge edges. Just curious if anyone else noticed that?
Hi there, Ambient Beauty! The water should be tepid. For step-by-step instructions for dip dyeing fabrics, check out this page: www.anniesloan.com/techniques/dip-dyeing-fabric-with-chalk-paint.
does the annie sloan admin reply? - i cant see answers to the questions..? You used silk but I have either a 100% cotton, 100% linen or a polycotton - does it work on these, as well as the silk? I went on your website tips and techniques but it doesn't say..
Hi Heather! We did a little research on our end and it looks like you can use cotton. According to the feedback we saw from people who have tried it, it dyes really well. We also saw comments that said that polyester or sheer material doesn't hold on to the color as well. Hope this helps!
Hi Estephania! We're not sure whether you can use Annie's Chalk Paint on countertops, but you might want to check out the Techniques section on her site. She does show how to paint on marble, kitchen cabinets, etc. Hoping you'll find a great idea there! www.anniesloan.com/techniques
This is so pretty and so so nice but to be honest the Blond girl and her acting too much is not natural... so you just can make a video of the project presenting the fabric, colours, style etc without an actress...
yep, Annie should have just showed how to dye and stencil and piece of linen (by herself), but I was able to mostly look past the unnecessary stuff and still learn and be inspired (kinda what life is like anyway)

How would you wash the fabric?
We want to hear from you! What did you think of Annie's bohemian bed runner?
Great, I am an Interior Designer and started my life doing things like this I am going to revive! Did you have to seal the paint after the stenciling?
Lovely lovely lovely, but how do you take care of it? Is there a complete tutorial?
how do you care for the painted bed runner? can it be hand washed at least?

When put in the dryer, will it leave marks inside tumbler ?
