This is the BEST my dyed by painting fabric has ever come out! I tried a new method with y’all on my Tuesday night lives and I think we may have found the golden method of painting fabric!!

I love the style of this sofa but it had stains. Painting it is a great way to cover them up!

Material List:
- Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
- Spray Mister
- Fabric Softner
- Easy Peasy Spray Wax
- Gold Gilding Wax
What’s the method?? Here it is!
The mix:
1/3 paint 

1/3 water 

1/3 Fabric Softener 

**Portions are not exactly 1/3….mix to a cake batter consistency
This is the paint I used and recommend for fabric painting: https://bit.ly/2XDLvaJ

Let it dry completely. I usually let it sit overnight with a fan on it.

Then you’re going to sand your fabric to soften and break the paint down so it acts more like a dye. I usually use about a 120 grit but I change it up for different fabrics. You’ll know if it’s not the right sandpaper grit for what you’re doing.

Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 again. Depending on the piece I don’t always sand the back or certain parts to keep them a bit more vibrant. I always sand the seat part that people will sit on to soften. I sanded the entire sofa here.
I used the colors Mermaid
Tail & Cobalt Blue for this sofa. I accented the buttons in gold gilding wax and the legs in gold gilding wax & Cactus
chameleon wax.

I hope this inspires you to try fabric painting! It’s really a fun thing to do and a great way to update your stained sofas! This piece sold in my stories this week and is headed to California!!
