Supplies:
Fab! Tinted and All in One Primer/Sealer: heirloomtraditionspaint.com/fab/
Chalk Paint in Basque and A La Mode: heirloomtraditionspaint.mybigcommerce.com/paint/
Chalk Paint Brushes: heirloomtraditionspaint.mybigcommerce.com/brush…

Other supplies: Kraft paper bag, fine grit sanding sponge, vacuum

Directions:
1. Apply a coat of Fab tinted primer on clean and vaccuumed fabric. Let dry and sand with a paper bag.
2. Apply a coat of chalk paint, do not dilute with water. Let dry.
3. Sand fabric gently with a sanding sponge, then follow up with a brown bag.
4. Repeat sets 2 & 3 if desired. I did one coat because I liked having the strips show through.
5. Apply one coat of Fab! All in One sealer and let dry. Finish with a light paper bag sanding.

ALWAYS vacuum after sanding and before proceeding with another coat of finish.

Project estimates:
Large couch:3 fab kits (more if porous materiel) 2 quarts paint
Loveseat: 2 fab kits, 1 quart paint
Chair: 1 fab kit, 1 quart paint (you will have leftovers so make accent pieces!)

If you have a set of chairs with upholstered seats only a quart of paint and i FAB! kit should suffice.
Let me know if you have questions in the comments below and good luck!
