Painted Drop Cloth Upholstery

Jeanine Wester
by Jeanine Wester
When I reupholster I want to do it as cheaply as possible and I've found that good, thick fabric is out of my budget. I've started hand painting drop cloth with my own patterns to get the specific look I want. Now I don't have to go searching through store after store looking for the perfect pattern; I can just paint it! Just add fabric medium to acrylic or latex paint and then heat set it according to its directions.

    Did you use a stencil for the flowery seats? They are really pretty.
