It has been a bustling late spring and early summer in and
out of The Underground! Travels,
granddaughter visit, weed battles in the garden and our annual Texas BBQ have
kept me hopping! I think the next few weeks will be a bit slower; at least that
is what I am hoping. I am ready to work on projects for our new screened porch,
which is almost completed.
Yes, HR built it!
While searching Pinterest for decorating ideas, I happened
upon a pin for painting fabric. Sounded like a great way to spruce up faded
outdoor cushions.
Using Martha Stewart Fabric Medium and craft paint, I
followed a link and revived a couple of bistro chair cushions. They look great,
but feel a bit stiff, yet comfortable enough to sit on. They haven’t been
through a rain so I don’t know how well the paint will hold up when drenched.
I used 1 ½ ounces of medium (cost$5.99 for 6 oz.) and 1 ½ bottles
of craft paint (1 part medium to 2 parts paint,) so I figure it cost around $3
for both cushions. For that price, the cushions aren’t really that
stiff!
