How to Paint fabric using Chalk-Acrylic Paint, no fabric medium required. I’ve done several posts on painting fabric and every time I do it, I love it even more. This beautiful rocker looked great as is, but the fabric didn’t match anything in my home.
Colors used: Painted the base with Americano and the fabric with Great Greige. I used Matte VAX to seal it. It might even get a stencil someday 🙂
Supplies:
- Shabby Paints Chalk-Acrylic Paint
- Water
- Mister
- Paint Brush
- Sand Paper ( I use fine or med grit)
- Painters Tape
- Shabby Paints VAX (Matte or Satin)
- VAX Applicator Sponge
