Can You Paint A Rug

You cannot skimp on the medium or you will end up with stiff carpet.

Can you paint a rug.

Yep it can be done. The fabric medium helps the paint to have a softer more flexible finish. That keeps the paint from being so liquid that it runs underneath the tape. Use a cloth to blot any excess paint from your paintbrush and paint between your taped vs.

The fifth tip is to roll from the edge of the tape in toward the bare rug. Join me and learn how to paint a rug. Put the paint in a paint tray roll the roller in the paint and then roll it on a paper towel before you roll it on the rug. I purchased martha stewart s acrylic craft paint and mixed it with her tintable fabric medium.

Add more coats as desired. Mix in 1 2 drops of water for each cup of chalk finish paint to help it glide on. One reason is that ace hardware challenged me and its other bloggers to complete a paint project that breaks the rules.
