Does painting fabric make it stiff??

[@Jana-nl6gt]

great! can i paint burlap?

[@glambeaute7561]

Hi I think it’s beautiful!! I want to do my chairs They are dark now but I wanted to lighten the fabric! I’m a bit nervous though!! So inspired by this!

[@rebecca29912009]

Hi, would green paint work on a red sofa using this method? Thanks!

[@misskatherinegrace8327]

Somehow this is the most amazing display of teaching another person how to do something and learning from someone how to do something, i know I’m weird af but it warms my heart and I wish more teachers and learners could have the compassion and patience to communicate this way and learn a new skill

[@mrsbenn1]

@Miss K G: Something I've taught my children; what separates the experts from the novice is that the former never feels threatened or insecure so is always willing to share their expertise.

[@babyg8662]

I agree!!!

[@autumn7031]

Omgoodness you are not weird you are so so right on! I am with you 1000%

[@GO-PIES-r6k]

This is one of my all time favourite videos of all. After watching this a while ago I painted my bedroom chair with chalk paint. It’s perfect.

[@ananyac2276]

Did you finish it with wax

[@friedaschnell3729]

Y'all are a hoot together! I saw this immediately after I saw a gal tell me it takes 4+ coats to dye the fabric on her chairs. 😲 I'm SO glad you corrected that thinking!!

[@maplesden6768]

yep :) i saw that one first too!!!

[@AskingSpot]

This is a natural fabric so it takes paint better. A synthetic fabric is more resistant. Also going lighter is harder than going darker

[@dbrow7153]

I'm a Kiwi living in the UK....so it's lovely to see Astar talking to Annie. I stumbled upon Annie Sloan chalk paint a few months ago and now I'm addicted. Two pieces completed and I've got another 2 projects on the go at the moment. Love the chairs Astar. Duck Egg Blue is my favourite colour as well as Emperors silk.

[@concreteinkspots]

I met Annie in Dallas, I took her workshop when she came to the US. Thoroughly enjoyed her and her paint! Nice to see her on here 💜

[@manndyshelata4436]

Just loved this to death! You two are so great together and both covered all the questions and answers! I have been using Annie Sloan for about 7 years now! Love it, but always was afraid to try it on fabric until now! Can’t wait to do a couple chairs I’ve had tucked away just for this!! Thank you so much , I just adore the likes of both of you!

[@mrststreasures9628]

Oh, yes, that shade on the chair frame is amazing!! What a difference!!

[@renataylor9978]

So in other other words water painting for furniture fabrics, I absolutely love this. I'm going to try this same sea green color to brighten my living room.. Yes Annie Sloan Thank you sweet lady ❤❤❤

[@blkimble]

That color is absolutely gorgeous

[@AstarsPlace]

Annie, does the best colours. Soft soft and gentle. Cheers Astar

[@dosam_6146]

It’s my first time here. The 2 of you are cracking me up and educating me at the same time! Remember, hard, soft and walk away 😂 Thanks for this video ladies!

[@elainehausman7571]

This was so spectacular I am now not afraid to paint two antique chairs this weekend in Emperor's Silk! Thank you both so much! I am excited!

[@pamelairvin3164]

I had so much fun listening to these marvelous accents (I'm from the USA) and trying to keep up with their collaborative thought processes!!!!!!

[@susanhauser9629]

Love seeing two incredibly creative women sharing their knowledge and experience with us:).

[@pelicanseaweed5818]

Astar, I have never seen you before, but I absolutely love the way you hosted this session.

[@flowersafeheart]

That was really fun because the possibilities are endless. The guest expert and both of your passion added to the experience. I love the bones of that chair.

[@dal8963]

1st time I've seen a painting project done in dress clothes takeslooking your best to a new level! Lol

[@Midgy21747]

I would never have thought of painting fabric with chalk paint. Really love this. Thank you.

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello Anna, it's such a wonderful solution. I adore my chairs which look as good as the day I did them with Annie. Some people wax over the painted surface once finished which gives a leatherish finish but I just left mine as they were. Kind regards Astar

[@authenticwmn]

Love it💕 I want to paint my dining room chair and this just gave me life! Dark gray here I come 🥰🔥😘

[@terrekent9737]

Bonita Simmons I would love to see your dining chairs in gray.

[@autumn7031]

Oh My Goodness. I just landed on this channel and I have to say I absolutely LOVED this! I'm 4 years late to the game apparently but what a wonderful video! Love Annie Sloan and AstarsPlace... lovely lady you remind me of Joan Crawford! What a wonderful channel and fantastic video! Thank you so much!!!

[@Nicciolai]

You have helped. I have seen the Annie Sloan paint on a few other people's videos and I thought it was only in the States. Now I know better, much better. I have opened up Annie's website and I can't wait to get going!

[@AstarsPlace]

Nicole, you will love the things you can achieve with the paint. I painted a glass vase at the weekend and it's fantastic. Actually I did a test with chalk paint verses baking soda in paint. Baking soda in the paint just makes it thick and then it falls off. Waste of time and lesson well learnt. Test first and if it doesn't sound right then it probably isn't! I did that video when Annie was last here in NZ to start rolling out the facts. I was due to visit her in the UK but the covid handbrake put stop to that. Fyi Annie is doing online courses on IGTV. Warm regards Astar

[@Nicciolai]

@@AstarsPlace Thanks! Good to know

[@nadiacastricum3292]

Thank you ladies have been wanting to do a chalk paint on a new beige headboard. This by far is the most informative video on chalk paint I have seen. 👌🏻😘💐

[@bjaquez6]

I loved you ladies. I want to see more of you two. ❤

[@Rollimggiant]

That color is gorgeous.

[@kaliissouledout4jesus928]

What an honor!! Annie Sloan I thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@connielaboy7575]

Love, love Annie Sloan’s chalk paints!

[@Alexandra_Hill]

You two are my upstyling heroes! I didn't know fabric could take chalk paint...

[@flowergrowersmith449]

Good lord - painting fabric? Awesome!

[@bambypierpontbates8170]

Love these two. What a fun video to watch,they make me smile !!

[@stangtiff]

PERIOD!!!!!!! At vast expense! I love this! I just used your Paint to do my very expensive Dining set and it is absolutely beautiful and I recovered the seats with a Parisian print. When I Looked at the rags I used to clean the mess up, they were so lovely. Even after the wash. Then bought a practice couch to try it out. I am GIDDY AS A GIRL!!!!

[@debbieminton5885]

Annie, You are such a Gracious Lady. I love your work, and products.

[@dianaklein1766]

You two are so fun. I learned quite alot. And enjoyed your video

[@alicejump2290]

Unbelivable! Beautiful! Loved meeting Anne!

[@ShelliMansfeld]

Well, I've just fallen in love both with Astar and Annie Sloan. What a fabulous clip. Would love to see it when it is finished. Thank you!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was so fun and knowledgeable! I'm a newbie with chalk paint and I really need to paint some old furniture and fabric. This made me feel ready to go! I love arts and crafts, love to draw and paint. Can't wait to experiment with the chalk paint world.

[@Mcarlob]

Thank You both, I learned now how to paint fabric!!

[@omegasue]

I never realised you could paint upholstered furniture ..... great video, thank you.

[@melaniewhite444]

I was amazed! Blown away!!

[@gracebarrazavega5164]

I loved watching this. Thinking of painting my chairs.

[@PoliticalJunky101]

Annie Sloan paint is the best paint in the world. It's versatile and the colours are beautiful! I use it on EVERTHING! Thanks for this video - I am currently doing a project where I am going to dye fabric and this is very helpful!

[@ingridn.uptain1538]

[@melissadeville1703]

I use ASCP too but have recently discovered the chalk paint made by Waverly that I purchased at Walmart. Far more affordable along with beautiful colors as well. Give them a try!

[@iceblue1457]

Oh! So she is the Annie Sloan whose paint and wax is being used by another KZbinr. I was watching The White Cottage yesterday, and Mary used the Old White and wax on the furniture she was refurbishing. Glad to meet you, Ms. Sloan.

[@speteydog2260]

😊👍🏻 nice! It looks like a brand new chair!

[@emmaburgess4320]

Fantastic!! Learned more than from any Annie Sloan tutorial!!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Looks good. Fun to meet the real Annie Sloan.

[@Annie-no7qk]

Wow this absolutely, amazingly beautiful!! You and Annie inspired me to do my vanity chair today.. Thank you so much

[@Joy1957K]

Awesome!!! I never knew that chalk paint can be used for upholstery. I am stunned. Thank you

[@melaniekolomyja7335]

Joyous make sure it’s chalk paint and not chalkboard paint!

[@Weartracy]

CAN WE SEE THEM FINISHED ? I’m so inspired by your video!! SOMEBODY GET ME SOME CHALK PAINT AND ANS OLD CHAIR STAT!!!

[@lpm67]

I'm so inspired I think I'll use Annie's chalkpaint in my RV...paint the kitchen units and the horrible yellow curtains!!!!!

[@user-br4xb5xb6o]

Энни Слоан реально герой меловой краски. Я отремонтировала свою кухню с помощью меловой краски. Сама бы я не догадалась никогда в жизни сделать краску, которая ложится на любую поверхность, даже на пластик. Мечтаю теперь отремонтировать мой антикварный комод при помощи самодельной меловой краски. Энни Слоан, спасибо вам огромное, вы мой герой!!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Thank you so much! This was awesome! I learned so many things about chalk paint.

[@angeladickson6882]

Breathing new life into a charming and clearly a much loved chair. We could be at the Palace of Versailles 😍😍😍😍😍

[@tartariadreaming]

Can’t wait until tomorrow. Ordered my first paint kit from Annie. Hello from Moscow!))

[@diedrapayne6202]

I am going tomorrow to buy a chair I can paint for my bedroom! It is white upholstery and I wondered what I could do to re-upholster it in black...no need now...problem solved with Annie's Chalk Paint! I am even going to try something floral on the back. Thanks so very much. 🤗🤗🤗

[@lisadupree-pz6wg]

Diedra Payne I like the floral on the back

[@hildegardturner5688]

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi Debra, it's a stunning colour and I love it. It's relaxing on the eye and magically pulls everything together. Reminds me of Marie Antoinette. Keep Safe Astar

[@nitroex4767]

This looks very inspiring, I think I will give it a try as it’s a 50/50 water mix it will be mist coating using my airless sprayer with a good few build up with several layers. It will be interesting to see the result! Lovely video ladies, very enjoyable and entertaining to watch!

[@stillbee7222]

Omgosh! ! that's going to be beautiful. I can't wait to see it when it's finished.

[@JJ33438]

[@AstarsPlace]

Hi Joan, I am beyond words pleased I painted those chairs. They look so nice in my lounge and with many bottoms on them - NO fading making or discolouration. Fantastic solution. Kind regards Astar

[@YETRAHomeLife]

Oh wow thanks God I came to see you ladies because my chair will come great with your tips just wonderful 😊😘

[@lulularu682]

I'm addicted. Love everything about this paint.

[@AstarsPlace]

Omgoodness, so am I. My Engineer husband tells me I'm a danger to the 🌎 on the end of the paint brush. He tells his friends he has to keep moving for fear I'll paint finish him! Go forth and enjoy. Kind regards Astar

[@heeds1049]

[@pikachen]

Annie pointing at the chair is me with anything except the very obvious things I miss on a regular basis. 😂😂

[@diydesignmuse5479]

Loving this video! I would probably take a wet washcloth and rub down the chair With water instead of using the brush.. Love that color! You both are adorable together

[@judichristopher4604]

I Love these "Soul Sisters"... This video makes me so Happy... "You Go Girl!!!"

[@carolkeen2745]

I have had a great time watching you two. I have a couch that needs help, I'll give this a try. Thank you both.

[@vintagegopherwooddesigns1603]

I have chalk painted a fabric chair once and it looks fantastic. I have protected it with wax. The only thing the fabric get stiffer

[@luckyduckyart291]

What types of material can you use this on and does it cover stains

[@ms.vel_1359]

I really want to thank you ladies for this video it really helped me out. If I knew how to download a picture of my sectional that I painted because of all the tips that you offered on this video I cannot thank you enough. I am absolutely truly satisfied with the results and in love with my new sectional.I did not however use the same chalk paint but I used and followed the steps that y’all listed on here and everything worked out seamlessly. I worked on it over the Easter weekend and it only took me Friday evening and most of Saturday. It’s absolutely beautiful!!

[@AstarsPlace]

I would love to see pictures. Could you send a few to my instagram @astarsplace and then I can share with Annie. Kind regards Astar

Chalk paint has been around long before Annie Sloan. There are many recipes. I use plaster of Paris. Love Annie Sloan products. Just can't afford them. Her colors are lovely. She is lovely and makes paint so easy.
