How do I paint cloth?

Thank you for your advice. Perhaps sealers was not the correct word I was looking for.

I was just thinking that fabric paint would make your cushions stiff and when you sit on them, it would most likely crack the paint. That is the experience I have had with various fabric paints. I thought Rit dye would leave your fabric feeling comfy- like fabric. Not sure how your chairs are made, but there are options when leaving the cushions on like taping 1mm plastic paint drop cloth around the base. Again, don't know how your chairs are made. But I do highly suggest you check out the Rit site and see if someone else has asked this question. I have found tons of ideas on their site that I never expected. You also might try asking at a fabric store, especially one that sold upholstery cloth. Most of those ladies who have been there for a while are fabric encyclopedias! Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck!
