Fab Painted Fabric Footstool
I have been just itching to blog about this project for you. I just PAINTED a fabric footstool. Yes, I PAINTED the fabric. I tried painting fabric a few years ago with a homemade concoction and was pretty disappointed in how stiff the fabric became, so I was anxious to try this new product.
Here is this wonderful footstool before and after.
The FAB product from Heirloom Traditions is the “primer” if you will. This goes on right over the old fabric. I just slopped it on. You can find all the details about the paint if you click on the link to the post!

To see how I began... watch this video!
After the FAB dried overnight, I painted it with this obnoxiously delightful color called Marilyn’s Lipstick. Is that not the yummiest pink you have ever seen? Come on over to the post for ordering details!

You can watch how I apply it on this video. You can also find more in-depth photos of the process on the blog post!
Do not forget to turn your piece over on something fancy like a trash can and be sure to paint the fabric that you MISS when it’s right side up. See all that old fabric color coming thru? Shameful.
I ended up using the same Black Bean paint that I used on the legs to paint the piping. I brushed it on with a small angled brush. And look at how good it looks!!!!!
