The fabric was in great shape on this chair so I was lucky. Then I went to JoAnn Fabrics and bought a bottle of Fabric Medium that I found by their paints in the bottles. I mixed on part fabric medium with 2 parts of chalk paint in a paint tray. I used a small roller and a paint brush. I just rolled on the paint and used the brush to get in the corners etc. The first coat went on great and it soak in some of the paint not alot but some. I let it dry for about 20 minutes and then put on another coat. The second coat went on great. Then again I waited about 1/2 hour and put the third coat on then let it dry overnight. Then I used the annie sloan wax for the chalk paint and put a light coat of wax on the chair to seal the chalk paint. Now if you use a reg. latex water base paint you do not have to wax it. I would still suggest using the fabric medium in with the latex paint too. <br /><br />Pretty easy. The fabric medium just helps to keep the fabric from getting stiff with the paint. Some people have used it and some do not. One blogger used reg. paint and just sanded lightly in between coats of paint and she said it kept the fabric soft. My chair feels like a soft leather but still has the appearance of fabric. It is amazing what you can learn to do in Blog Land!!!!! Good luck have fun with this.<br />Kris<br />Junkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-85531257172212042412013-09-18T09:14:26.917-05:002013-09-18T09:14:26.917-05:00YOu are one brave woman!
