Solly Jo, a master furniture artist, unveils her expert technique, ensuring your vintage chair makeover achieves stunning results. Follow these step-by-step instructions to transform your tired chair into a timeless masterpiece. Step 1: Preparation Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chair to remove any dirt, dust, or residues. Next, inspect the chair for any structural issues or loose joints, repairing them as needed. Sand the surface gently to remove any existing finish or imperfections, ensuring a smooth base for the makeover process. Step 2: Painting the Seat Remove the seat and mist it lightly with water. This helps the paint adhere better to the fabric. Apply paint in thin layers, ensuring even coverage. Drive the paint into the fabric pile with the help of water, allowing it to soak in for a deeper finish. Leave to dry for a few days. Step 3: Applying Decoupage paper Apply white paint to the surface where the decoupage is going. Using a thin layer of Posh Chalk Pigment Infusor, adhere the Posh Chalk Deluxe Decoupage paper to the prepared surface. Seal with another thin layer of the infusor. Once it's dry, cut off the excess with a craft knife and sand if needed. Step 4: Applying WoodUbend Mouldings Apply glue to the surface where your trim is going. Warm the WoodUbend Trim until it's nice and pliable. Apply to the pre-glued surface heating and pressing as you go. Cut with a craft knife while the trim is still warm to fit the rim of the seat. Press down firmly. Remove any excess glue with a wet paintbrush or baby wipes. Take the WoodUbend applique and heat until it's nice and pliable. Apply wood glue to the applique. Apply to the surface. Remove any excess glue with a wet paintbrush or baby wipes. Heat again and press firmly. Sand and slice any areas that protrude over the back. Step 5: Applying Posh Chalk Metallic Pastes and Pigments to bring out the intricate detail of the mouldings and add glamour to your piec. Using the Posh Chalk Metallic Paste and water, create a wash. Apply the paste directly from the jar and spritz water then spread out. You should be able to see the wood grain peeping through. Take a scoop of Posh Chalk Pigment Pale Gold. Drizzle with Posh Chalk Pigment Infusor and mix well. Dry brush over the WoodUbend mouldings and raised detail. Step 6: Applying Posh Chalk Patina Extender Wax Seal your fabric with Posh Chalk Patina Extender Wax. Pop your seat back in for a week or so until the wax completely cures.
