The Fabric & Paint

My dishes are Fiesta and I have all colors.  The only color I wanted in the fabric that isn't there is purple.  The four other fabrics for chairs have different textures - the green is suede-like, the yellow is satin-like with dragonflies!  Thank you Laura!!!!!





The chalk paint we used was "FolkArt Home Decor".  The colors we used were Spanish Moss, Cascade, Oatmeal, Mustard, and Imperial.  We used the same brand for the clear wax finish.

You can easily make chalk paint.  The recipe is two parts acrylic paint with one part Calcium Carbonate.  The Calcium Carbonate is available in powder form and can be purchased wherever natural supplements are sold.  I bought mine at Natural Grocers in Missoula.  I had to make my own orange paint for one of my chairs.  It wasn't hard at all!!!!
