Another easy and inexpensive way to upgrade upholstery is to purchase curtains. I bought 1 set at a dollar type door or Wally World for $10. I simply stapled over the old seat covers and they still look good 5 years later.

Living in a rural area, there are zero fabric options. I have learned to patiently hunt through the clearance areas to get deals. Thrift stores can have unused fabrics. Compare prices as some thrift stores have really high prices. Curtains and sheets at Giant Tiger's clearance have a whole range of fabrics for many purposes.(ie purses, shopping bags, masks, gift bags, upholstery, etc.) This week, I also got a selection of spring tablecloths on clearance at Walmart for $1.20 each. HINT: Clearance items frequently do not scan correctly. so take confirmation photos of any pricing, have patience to take extra register time and check your receipt carefully for correct pricing.

I purchased an antique sofa set at a thrift store with the intent to "DYE" the material black (to make them gothic and resell) after another tutorial I saw. It came out terrible. It was brown no matter how many passes I did, streaky, stinky, and laborious - it took days and looked terrible. With this process I was able to FINISH both side chairs in a half day, the material is blacker than black, soft to the touch - I am so impressed! I even left them out in the back and the morning dew just beaded up. Love love love and I can't wait to flip more furniture with this process. ❤❤❤

Does the material still retain the softness with the wax?

I love both colours you did, but this shows that if I change my mind I can switch to a new colour later on. Thank you for this. Definitely going to use this method, it looks the easiest, less messy than the other methods too. Thank you. Subscribing to see what other amazing stuff you do.

These chairs look great now, the orange was horrid. I never knew you could mix latex paint and fabric softener, thanks for sharing Deidre.

Yes, and it’s so easy to do. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.

Love this video. Can I use acrylic paint instead with fabric softener? the goal is to splatter paint instead of brushing. Thank you

What a simple and obvious idea! Never heared about that though... it's fantastic. I just bought an expansive Fabric medium yesterday.... grrrr. can you please tell, how long the wax has to dry, before one can sit on it, without any trace on the clothes? greets from Berlin
