WOW!!! Two “new to you” chairs for twenty bucks. That’s a bargain and a great DIY project. Here are a few takeaway tips:
Clean your piece before you begin! DO NOT skip this step.
Fabric will require 3-5 coats of paint. Take your time and be patient with the process.
Dampen the fabric and your paintbrush before you begin.
Dilute the paint by about 35-40 percent with water. This is only for the fabric portion of your project.
Be sure you pick a piece that has clean, unfrayed fabric. You want to start with a quality piece that will take the paint well.
