I just bought my first home and the former left behind a plain, beige couch. I have it hidden with a cover right now but this is totally on my to-do list!!

[@TanglewoodSue]

You got this!

[@katiejowarzecha21]

My only critique for this video would be that I wished the blob of words was after showing how it turned out. It would have been nice to see your work without the words blocking it and then do the words later

[@TanglewoodSue]

That’s fair. Please feel free to checkout my IG or other social media to see more finale pics of this couch. The full tutorial is longer and more in depth if you want more information on the process and the results too. Thanks for switching till the end!! :)

[@katiejowarzecha21]

Thank you!

[@missswol]

Absolutely beautiful

[@TanglewoodSue]

Thank you! 😊

[@annettechastain9904]

Looks great!!!! Thanks for showing us

[@TanglewoodSue]

No problem!!

[@mswoe042]

Luv how it turned out…. Great color! Looks awesome

[@ThePerformerAngela]

I love that color.

[@castironmarshmello7430]

I so love your creativity ‼️I use you approach but toned down a tad. I love WOOD so I want to see it. Now I'm going to paint a beloved old chair. Thanks a million times‼️

[@TanglewoodSue]

Of course! Yes. If wood is salvageable I try to let it shine whenever I can. Welcome!!

[@loves9562]

Beautiful ♥️. Glad to see you on KZbin

[@TanglewoodSue]

Thanks! Trying to post once a week. Trying.... :)

[@mayvous]

Hey Sue! I'm wondering if you let the coats dry before adding another?

[@TanglewoodSue]

Yes. That way I can sand it before the next layer. That's how I keep it soft. Thanks for asking!

[@marymiller3967]

Absolutely LOVE this!!!!💙💙🎸

[@TanglewoodSue]

I was sad when it sold. I loved it so!

[@ginacapecchi]

Turned out soooo good!

[@TanglewoodSue]

I'm so happy with it thank you!

[@emilywootton5243]

I'm trying this today on my pull out that has a lot of damage. I'm so excited for the end results

[@TanglewoodSue]

Sorry I just saw this. How did it turn out?

[@ambrr_lily]

I want to know too! Did you post a pic anywhere?

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Such a fun video!

[@TanglewoodSue]

Oh I'm glad you like it. Trying to get my style figured out :)

[@theoriginaltamiz6891]

LOVE IT SUE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TanglewoodSue]

Thank you! So great to have an editor get your wacky humor. The long version is even crazier!!

[@shannaparkansky4551]

How about a mister spray bottle?? or try an organic paint like Ecos paint or lime wash type paint

[@TanglewoodSue]

Tried the mister bottles and they clogged up. A clay paint needs a topcoat. This paint doesn’t :)

[@cobwebsbristles8490]

I love it! 👏❤

[@kaylaguidry6137]

Ok.... gosh I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question... you're basically dying the fabric? So it won't come off on clothes or skin? I have 4 kids and our couches are light grey (I don't know what I was thinking 🤣) but I feel like this could save us from having to get new ones if I can paint them 😳😳😳 I never would have thought of that!

[@TanglewoodSue]

This paint has a built in sealer which is why it won’t rub off on your clothes :)

[@michaelsnider2484]

Can do this with acrylics? Hey, beautiful voice!

[@TanglewoodSue]

I have and honestly it got a little rubbery. You'll need a high water ratio to stop that from happening. It also depends on the acrylics and their level of pigmentation. I would make sure its a good brand and test it for steadfastness. I'm not saying not but I'm saying I liked Miss Lillians better if you want to keep it soft. And thank you :)

[@ambrr_lily]

@@TanglewoodSue That makes sense. It's that rubbery quality in acrylics that have made us all afraid of paint period.

[@dbhealer6726]

I have an olive green oversized fabric chair and I am wanting ocean boho colors. What colors would you suggest to paint over this?

[@TanglewoodSue]

I would search blue and green from the dropdown search feature on my website. I have so many it’s hard to choose 😂 suburban seas is one of my faves for sure! Www.Tanglewoodworks.Com

[@heatherjane143]

Will this technique work on a microfiber fabric?

[@TanglewoodSue]

Yes! Just do a test first to check how much to dilute your paint.

[@annettechastain9904]

Is it 3 parts paint to 1 part water or the reverse?

[@TanglewoodSue]

Reverse :)

[@ThePerformerAngela]

Have you ever tried glowing paint on your projects?

[@TanglewoodSue]

I sell neon paints if that’s what you mean :)

[@ambrr_lily]

So if it's a flat woven fabric you still give it a sanding between coats?

[@TanglewoodSue]

I would. Very lightly though. Don’t damage your fabric :)

[@felixculpa3488]

hi i love you

[@olgareasons3176]

Have you painted leather other than that turquoise chair

[@TanglewoodSue]

Yeah. I actually just did another chair. I'm editing the footage now.

[@meganakamae]

Hi there! I'm really wanting to paint this brown chair I have to a midnight blue or deep maroon. Do you think that will work? I feel like they are all dark colors so I'm not sure if brown (it's medium brown & Paisley print) will work with blue or red. Have you tried brown fabric before?

[@TanglewoodSue]

Yes. You can go darker. Just do a test first. Always do a test first :)

[@meganakamae]

@@TanglewoodSue Thank you!
