Ready to try something new? Today’s challenge is a game-changer: you’re going to paint a navy fabric chair using Beyond Paint, and yes, that means the fabric! Let’s dive in and get started on this exciting transformation.
Step 1: Prepping Your Thrift Store Find
So, you’ve picked up a navy fabric chair from the thrift store, and let’s be real—it’s got some serious wear and tear. But instead of tossing it, you’re going to give it a fresh new look using Beyond Paint. The first step? Prep!
Start by trimming any frayed or distressed fabric with scissors. Once that’s done, grab a bottle of Simple Green cleaner, spray the chair down, and give it a good scrub. You want that fabric nice and clean so the paint will adhere smoothly.
Pro tip: Even though Beyond Paint requires no sanding or priming, prepping the surface properly will give you the best results. Don’t skip this step!
Step 2: Shake, Roll, and Apply Beyond Paint
Now it’s time for the fun part—painting! You’ve chosen a pint of Beyond Paint in Navy, which is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any room. Before you start, make sure to give the container a good shake. Beyond Paint comes in airtight packaging, so no worries about spills during shipping.
Pour some paint into your tray, grab your trusty 3/8th-inch microfiber roller (it’s ideal for fabric, by the way), and get to work! As you roll the paint over the chair, you’ll notice how easily it adheres to the fabric. The smooth coverage will have you amazed, and soon enough, your chair will be sporting a stunning navy finish.
Step 3: Don’t Forget the Details
The next day, after everything has dried, you take a step back and admire your work. But wait—the legs of the chair don’t quite complement the Navy fabric. No problem! You’ve got some leftover Licorice Beyond Paint from a previous project, so it’s time to give the legs a sleek update.
Start by using a 2-inch brush to carefully paint where the fabric meets the legs, making sure not to get paint on the fabric. Then, grab your microfiber roller to cover the rest of the legs. After a couple of hours, apply a second coat for extra durability and depth of color.
The Big Reveal: Your Stunning New Chair!
And voilà! Your newly transformed fabric chair looks amazing. But the best part? Even though you painted the fabric, it’s still soft to the touch—no stiffness or crunchy texture. You’ve given this old chair a new lease on life, and it now looks like a high-end designer piece.
So, before you toss out those old dining chairs or fabric furniture, why not upcycle them? Grab some Beyond Paint, a microfiber roller, and get creative. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to turn tired furniture into stunning statement pieces—all while saving money and reducing waste.
