How to Paint Fabric with expert Annie Sloan

that would be my fault because I didn't do it right, it would be my fault, of course, it's my fault because I did it because I wasn't sure, but now I know about the excess, you know, putting the water on the floor and it makes sense to put the water so that then it goes in, so if you did that, but on another type of chair, I would wax it, so if you wax it, it turns into leather and it's absolutely amazing, yes, beautiful, of course. I can't wax anything with a lot of texture, so the more texture you have, the more raised pile doesn't work, so something like velvet or

fabric

s with raised texture, I don't see any here that don't work.

I don't know what I would like, wait, wait, wait, there's enough, there's enough

fabric

s in this house, yeah, that's Ray's texture, so when you did that and hit, it could actually be fantastic. I was thinking more of something like tweed, oh. yeah, I said a tweety wouldn't work, nothing that has a lot of texture and that would look good, but it would look different because the

paint

would go on, oh, that could be amazing because what would happen is a stain and you did it. that in blue you would get that's a darker blue than that because it could be really lovely oh that's actually I could try it because I could dye it you could dye it oh well I guess I'll diet because I like that I thought about dyeing because I could use the same

paint

and it's just a water solution and then for that, you would heat it just with a hair dryer and the hair dryer or the dryer, yeah, it will set it so if you can wash it off afterwards. would be nice, well maybe I will, I'm going to do that, it's a good idea and then we'll see how it works, for that you can put it on a hair dryer, you can iron it when you dry your hair, this is a big accessory, it can get a little uneven, so I would tell you, so don't do it.

Well, some people say they have, but it could be wrong, but you are the guru and you know that. It's your life, yeah, that's perfect, so if I did, but I think you could make this leather, if you wanted it to look like leather, you would wax it and I don't think you'd do it right, I didn't know. and but I thought that if I waxed it, what it would say in the next few years I didn't like it, yes, well, then that's it, that's that year, well, I'll tell you what it does, you also wax it because the wax and the fabric they will. it starts to crack and looks beautiful if it's a real leather look chair like a proper club chair it would be fantastic so it could be a fabric chair in a sort of bathtub chair, paint it and wax it and it looks fantastic, I mean.

There's one, I have some great photos of someone who made one and they painted it brown, beautiful brand and it looked like a really fabulous leather chair, beautiful, but leave it as it is, it's pretty and French, well if we're talking about pretty. In French, could I tell you now that I don't know if I like this? So how can I paint with chalk paint on all surfaces? I have it. What about this? Can I remove it now? This is the is the job I love the most yeah, that's good, oh yeah, that's better, that's better, you can see where I've been a little harsh, that's right, so what I'll do is, well, I'll take it off , so this has something of this.

It has a bit, yeah, so how do you get away with it? What are you doing with that? Yes, I think the paint will stay there, right? Yes, you don't have to sand it or anything you can sand. if you want, but you know, my paint goes on anything, you don't have to sand, you don't have to prime, you can put it right here, you can put it so this can be metal, you can do it with it. to ceramics, it can happen to porcelain, plastics, all kinds of things, let's think about this, what would you do?

I agree with you that it's a little, it's a little heavy, blood, bandages, blood and bandages, that's how bad it was when I was doing my floral training. They told me that they never allowed us to do red and white together because that was blood and bandages and it was not allowed. Oh, that's amazing and it's like the other blue and green envelope should never be seen without something in the middle. Who said me? I think it's ridiculous, I'm afraid I'm sorry, so now we could use this and we could make it the same color or because it's a little heavy, right?

And I think people can do it. I don't know about you and But I know that with a lot of my subscribers and people that follow me, we all come to a scenario and think now what, yeah, I'm going to try one thing right, I'm going to paint it with that, and then. could you do that, can I use it? oh yeah, you can use that or you could do this oh, now you're talking, that's quite nice, it's better because look what it does, that requires that, which is a little blurry, oh, that's fabulous. It's not as pretty, it's much better or you could add a little bit of white, I don't know, so I'm adding the white so you know, are you diluted now?

You just go straight, you go straight and I. I'm adding the white, my old white, so there's old white, old white and duck egg blue, let's see what it looks like. Oh, it might be a little too sweet, I'm not sure and then I'll clean it up. What do you like? I think I like it. I like this one, yeah, it's a little too much, honey, isn't it? There's nothing sky blue about me. I'd say that's interesting too. Look at the ca if we are going to talk about colors. Yeah, that's really interesting. That color. there's too much powder, yeah, yeah, compared to this, which is because it's got a nice stick that I would call adult or I'm just going to try one more because it's pretty handy to see that it's just white, I don't know, I think.

I like this I think it's the best Sometimes I think that the first option is always the best and many times I can waste a lot of time trying to decide what I'm going to do. I hate that I like it. That and I like it quite a bit, I think so, I have an idea about that too, so if you did that, yeah, and at the end I have a white wax and then you could put it in there and it'll just smooth it out instead of clear wax, which is beautiful, it won't change the color, the white will just soften it and I think I could work with that so if I don't want that now I can just clean it up. out, that's the best, look, there's no priming or anything like that, we can take it off, we can work with it, that's pretty good, yeah, look at this, oh, I like it a lot, this is a little gift for you that you don't know .

I was using that thing that's beautiful, it's yours, they're fine, no problem with them, but I have these ones that you would love, well, they're called sanding pads and you open it up and there you have thick, color-coded biscuits, well, I even have the writing on the back, so what you would do is sand, I don't think for this not, because it has the duck that's inside, which I think is quite nice, it's quite nice, yes, and if I put wax on it, yes . and then at that point, clean it up very just let it in gently so it's not here, but you could do that on your own, right?

I don't know, I just want to try, let me try. This is uh, what's the target? this one right here that's yeah, yeah, that's it, yeah, I don't know how much paint is there without water, without water, no, I wasn't listening, without water right now, everyone, without water for this part, that's it, Oh. lovely, oh, beautiful, beautiful girl and all, and I just want to see how it works here oh, yeah, it'll be nice to try, yeah, well, I don't know, you know what I'd do? Show me how that's done. Although I think you're being too thin and light with that and this would be a face, so I would do it pretty hard, ah, okay, and then to get your texture, wipe it off and that will give you, and yeah, and you, that there are my clothes, yeah, and then leave them for a few seconds, yeah, and then and then wipe them gently, oh, now you can be gentle, okay, once it's on all of them, rough with the brush and then soft with the cloth, that's it, oh, cute, cute, cute looking, and you do it. you clean it up to see what it is, you can do it, you know, okay, it's because you're doing this right now, but when you're painting on your own, you're going to smooth it out and get it in the oh zone because I think that's wonderful,

annie

, yeah , it's got a bit of texture, it's lovely, yeah, that's much, much better, so I'm glad we've taken that extra step now, is there any other, so the wax? on top of that and that's nice and smooth, yeah, that end, how long does the wax have to dry?

Just leave it there for, say, 10 to 15 minutes and then wipe it gently and then leave it uncleaned, wipe it gently so it's not too harsh. absorbed it's not on top it's absorbed when you've done it, I mean, white wax may not work, it may be clear, it works here, maybe I'll just try it and then what else would I do? That would be it, but if you wanted to do it, but this would just be a possible extra, you would take these, so what would you use? I always start with a medium which is green and maybe I don't know if I don't think it's going to work.

It was a thought because if I do I should have put wax on it you could take the top off oh that's quite beautiful too isn't it? Oh my gosh, there are endless endless possibilities, that's why people get addicted to it because it's so much fun, well, for me, it just takes my lunch to a whole different level with color. I know I don't have to buy new couches because I love the chairs, yeah, oh they're beautiful, so now I don't have to do that and I can just paint them and finish them. So if in the next few years I can put another color or I can wash everything and the paint will come out.

If you had wax here, you couldn't, so it won't wash off, it won't wash off. off so this has to be done not on something new but on something old that you were like I don't know if I keep it what to do with it I would just paint um I would like you to have extended the life of a of a chair so now finish this no do nothing that ending leave leave early and don't play the violin exactly oh
