Hola amiga,
Please help. I was given a (practically) brand new computer desk chair for free. I needed one for my son's room. Well, the chair turned out to be mauve in color. Now, don't get me wrong- I appreciated it and said thank you. My son has not complained (yet) but then again his friends haven't been over yet. He's twelve so I'd like to paint the fabric before this marks him for life. HAHAHA. Anyways, how can I paint the fabric or cover it up without tearing apart the chair? It is in such good condition I'd hate to mess it up. Hope to hear from you before our next pinata. Thank you and I'm enjoying you site. Always, Debi Hi Debi! What kind of fabric is it? On most fabrics you can use water-based acrylic, lots of it! You can apply a layer of gesso to make it smooth to paint on, and then dive in with acrylics. Use large foam stamps if you feel like gettin' funky with it. When you are done, use a water-based varnish to seal it all in. Hope it works out! Kathy :-) ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com
