Another easy and inexpensive way to upgrade upholstery is to purchase curtains. I bought 1 set at a dollar type door or Wally World for $10. I simply stapled over the old seat covers and they still look good 5 years later.
Living in a rural area, there are zero fabric options.
I have learned to patiently hunt through the clearance areas to get deals.
Thrift stores can have unused fabrics. Compare prices as some thrift stores have really high prices.
Curtains and sheets at Giant Tiger's clearance have a whole range of fabrics for many purposes.(ie purses, shopping bags, masks, gift bags, upholstery, etc.)
This week, I also got a selection of spring tablecloths on clearance at Walmart for $1.20 each.
HINT: Clearance items frequently do not scan correctly. so take confirmation photos of any pricing, have patience to take extra register time and check your receipt carefully for correct pricing.
Yes, that’s also a great tip. You can find lots of fabric at the thrift store even shower curtains, bedsheets, so many possibili
I do the same thing all the time
I used old blue jeans on mine they are sooo cute wish I could show you!
Can you also use acrylpaint?
The best way I've found to remove all the fuzzies on the surface of a textile is to "shave" it with a disposable razor, works miracles. It's also the technique I use to get fuzzies off my knits like sweaters & hoodies.
Yes, I didn’t have one here at the cabin or I would’ve used it on this chair pads
Wasn’t convinced at first but then seeing the orange rust color was easily painted over I was convinced right there will do this for my project
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching.
I love that you admitted that you hated the result, well the color (Barf!!) It's awesome to see the error so that we can see how to beautifully correct. THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed
That is so cool! I had no idea that you could do that with fabric softener & paint. Thank you so much for sharing. 💕
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
I love all you do for saving items from the land fill. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
The first color reminded me of terra Cotta which could be great depending on ones decor. However I've got to say this video was fantastic. I want to paint a chair but was hesitant of the chalk paint method... your technique is what I'll try. Thank you.
So easy and was fabulous. Thanks so much for watching.
Great turnout and I really appreciate you sharing your mistakes, and what you learned from them; the way you explain the process was clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching.
They turned out beautiful! TFS for sharing this technique!
I like the orange color
It’s much easier than paint to recover them! And they look soooooo much better than paint
I love that color in the beginning
Deidre, this turned out so amazing! I've seen Annie Sloan paint furniture with her chalk paint, but this looks so much easier! I have a wing back chair in dusty rose coloured fabric from 35 years ago. Needless to say it doesn't quite work for me anymore. I did buy some fabric to reupholster it but have ne er gotten around to doing it. This is something I will try instead and if I don't like the results than I'll go ahead and reupholster it (someday)! Thanks for this!😊
I think you’ll be really happy with the results. I’m actually on the lookout for a wing back chair for my bedroom that I want to try this technique on.
Does she have a particular type of paint she uses?
@helendanner5174 She just used Behr water-based latex paint sample jars from Home Depot. Any water-based latex paint will work. You don't have to use anything special. Those sample jars are $5.00.
@@sandylavigne7200Do you know what sheen she used?
Love the blue!!! Thanks for a great tutorial !
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Tracy from the Sewing Channel gave us a great tip the other day. She makes quilts but it is good for any material. W🎉hen cutting snags and fluff off the top of material always use a set of curved scissors so you don’t risk actually cutting your material. I have not yet bought a set of curved sewing scissors, but I do have a set of curved manicure scissors that I use.
Thank you for this lesson in painting cloth. Uncomplicated Great!
Oh that’s a great tip. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the blue. Beautiful set.
Thanks for watching
Beautiful chairs! Love this idea! A new learning I love!

Deidre, you are the BEST. Thank you! 🌹
What a beautiful furniture set, too.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you! I’m going to try this!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
i had a love seat that had seen better days, but i loved the shape, so i tried to paint it. i used latex paint and added fabric medium. the couch went from camel tan to charcoal gray and has a leathery feel to it. it's been several years and it's still great. i'd do it again, but your fabric softener method would certainly be cheaper.
It’s such an easy way to update, fabric upholstery. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for changing the color!!!
Of course!
Beautiful blue with that wood and style - classic. You scored with that magnificent dining set.
It’s absolutely gorgeous I love it
I love the Blue

Thank you! 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing this technique. It is amazing. Love watching your channel.
Thanks for watching god you enjoy
Diedre: I think this is absolutely fabulous! It's so refreshing to see that sometimes things don't always turn out like you originally thought. It's very comforting to know that things aren't perfect. You absolutely did the right thing in my mind to keep going and not redo the video. You are the best. And what an awesome idea to add fabric softener. This is definitely something I will try. I love your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Wow, that turned out beautifully! So many tips & tricks packed into one video. I had no idea about using fabric softener. That’s genius! Buying fabric paint is so expensive. With your method there’s no breaking the bank! The blue was definitely the better look to go with, though you’d probably have been able to use the orange if you darkened it with some black. That might have created more of the look you were going for. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your gorgeous dining set. When your friend sees it she might just want it back!😂 Cheers from FL😺
Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for watching
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
I am so glad you changed the color! In the end the cushions turned out beautiful!! It matches to me! Ty for sharing this tip. I just learned something new!!!
Reid technique and it works fabulous but the orange was barf lol
So pretty!!! Glad to know this! I have 2 chairs I'm going to paint now❤
Excellent!
Thank you! This is amazing!
Glad you enjoyed
They turned out fantastic... I love your home it's cozy and beautiful.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful chairs! You did a wonderful job!
Thank you! 😊
Love your transparency. Yes, sometimes things turn out "yucky". Love that you didn't give up and found an alternative. Looks good!
I have lots of things that just turn out yucky and I just keep moving forward until I like it. Lol.
That was really great! Especially the fabric softener top AND sharing your success of being able to paint over your mistake. 😃
Glad you enjoyed
@@OurUpcycledLife Great Great Video & Tip on Fabric Softener. Would this work on exterior fabric used on LazyBoy Outdoor furnishings?
I think the color you chose looks perfect with the rug! Awesome job!
Thank you!! 😊
Never knew this could be done!! Thank you

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
As usual you have fantastic ideas. I have a fabric chair from my childhood which I was thinking I would have to redo but I am going to try painting it first. Thank you so much for sharing this idea. ❤️
That will work perfect have fun
I have been contemplating painting an old wing back recliner chair for our barn rec room / canning kitchen and I find your vlog….I’ve painted my sewing room office chair and stenciled it years ago….not liking the stiff fabric but still kept it…
Now I can make this recliner a new look in the rec room….thank you.o
Glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for sharing!!! I am definitely going to try this. I couldn't find a fabric I liked for my kitchen bar stools, now I can make the perfect color. Just brilliant, super appropriate all you do to share with us. God bless!!!!
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching Tracey
LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much ! i already tried painting my set of chairs with the chalk paint method....Hated it ! luckily i only did the backs. Then i thought of doing the "leather look" but given myself time to study it, i came to realize it's not going to work for the style of the design. I was ready to give up painting and ordered several different fabrics online to reupholster, but they just are not the color that was stated on site. Being an artist i can see with your final outcome this is perfect ! { The only thing that isn't necessary is the wax step. Acrylic in general, is a very permeant and extremely stable paint. Once dry, it's in there for good. Also, if you sit on this kind of wax, the body heat will melt it and come off....it's not a wood surface, which is needed for a chalk finish, so if others do this project, skipping the wax is my only advice. If you are still feeling unsure, use Scotchgard for a better sealer AND protector.}
Thanks for some great tips and yes you don’t have to put the wax on but I don’t find that it does rub off
Lovely!
Thanks 😊
Wow!!! Awesomeness 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳
Thanks 😊
You are an amazing creator/artist and all your ideas are very budget-friendly!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless your work!!!!!!!!!!

Wow thanks for that! Never knew you could do that. I've seen a video where someone spray painted cushions but they looked kind of stiff.. The blue looks great, even though I'm definitely an orange lover. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching Janice.
Not only are the chairs beautiful, but I just love that rug. I'll try to find one similar to it.
Yes, it fit in perfect in our kitchen. Glad you enjoyed.
I love that red color! lol
I’m thinking of doing my outside umbrella on my patio!
Not sure how it will hold up in the elements
Thank you so very much! I love my painted chair and enjoyed this DIY so much! BTW your log home is beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
So cool I’m glad I watched this first I was just going to use black spray paint
Glad it was helpful
Thanks for sharing the measurements for the paint and the fabric softener. I watched other videos that use this technique, but they didn’t share the measurements.. definitely going to paint my old, stained microfiber recliner
