Using a Quality Chalked Paint on Fabric..easier Than You Think!
Easy Rocking chair makeover. Use Shabby Chalked Paint to update outdated fabric for a fresh new look. Strong but flexible!
Sorry this will be Short and Sweet guys.
Sprayed the fabric with a fine mist of water. (keeping the fabric slightly damp will help it stay softer than it would if you painted over it dry, just a mist or it will delay dry time!)
Painted with 1/2 water 1/2 peacock chalk-paint mixture. Only needed two coats...there is no reason to mist for the second coat because the first coat of Shabby Paints has already completely covered the fabric.
Sanded after the first and second coat lightly with a fine grit sandpaper to make it nice and smooth.
I used Shabby Shimmer in Pearl White for the stencil, stripe and as a glaze on the wood. That's it Easy Peasy!!!
Sooo comfortable! Not sure if this will be for Grandma's nursery or moms :)

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have a recliner that's comfortable but ugly, can I use this technique on the chair?
Is it possible to paint over a faux leather covered foam cushion with this chalk paint? Or even better-a metallic gold acrylic paint I have now? This is my practice trial run on a barstool, before I try my hand on real fabric with expensive quality chalk paint on some more important items and I just wondered if you or some has had success painting other types of uplostery with any kind of paint.thank you so much for sharing your inspiration with these chairs. I'm in LoVe with the peacock color and the gold together.

I have a fair leather recliner that's peeling. Should I sand off the finish before painting? if so, what grade sandpaper would you recommend?
