Paint and Burlap

Welcome Paint Lovers…

Today I’ve got two great paint projects from Kim @ Reposhture!

PoP Reposhture

She found this little table in the trash. The only thing wrong with it was the leather inset was coming up in places and was in bad shape. So she pulled it out and painted the whole thing Rustoleum Black in Satin. She added a burlap inset using ModPodge.  She spray painted the original hardware using Rustoleum in Brass.

 

Another trash find!  She stripped it first before painting because the varnish was in bad shape. After stripping them, she primed then spray painted them Rustoleum in Antique White. Distressed them a bit and then sealed them with a coat of wax. Recovered the seats in burlap and added a covered button to the center to finish them off.

As always you can click on the photos to get all the juicy details.

Don’t forget… you too can submit your paint projects. Just click the “Submit Your Paint Project” in the menu bar and fill out the form.

Have a great day with a splash of paint!

Painting Fabric and Making Your Stencil

Welcome Paint Lovers…

Today I’ve got a tutorial on how to paint on fabric and how to make a stencil with freezer paper.

{Here’s the “how to”}

You can use any fabric you’d like… I’m on a burlap kick, so that’s what I used.

To create the seahorse I found an image online that I like and printed it off.

I took a piece of freezer paper (slightly larger than the image size) and placed the shiny side down on my cutting mat and placed the seahorse image on top.

I used a piece of painter’s tape to hold all the pieces still.

With an X-Acto blade I cut around the outline of the image cutting through the paper (with the image) and the freezer paper.

Once your images is cut out you will have this…

Take a piece of your cut out burlap and place the freezer paper shiny side down in the spot you want it.

Take an iron on a “no steam” setting and press the freezer paper onto the burlap.  I held it still for about 5 seconds then moved it around, repeating a few times.

I took a stencil brush and bounced on my DecorArt Snow White paint and textile medium (this mixed with acrylic paint creates a fabric washable paint).  Follow the direction on your bottle for the correct ratio.

After letting it dry about 10-15 minutes I pulled off the freezer paper… the moment of truth!

Cute right!!!  And so many options of what you can create!
