Painting Carpet With Chalk Paint

Chalk paint works well.

Painting carpet with chalk paint.

Did you seal it with wax. Thank you for your help and ideas. Apply painters tape outside of the lines. When dry add a fabric protector.

I have seen some postw where stenciling has been very successful but i am looking to paint he whole carpet. You will have to use up to four coats. Last spring i bought a giant rug on sale at target. Roll over the tape with a heavy roller or walk.

After you ve taped off or outlined your stencil fill in the areas where the stencil was laid with paint being careful not to push the paint under the tape if you re using it. That would be much quicker. Begin painting at the point farthest from the door and work toward the door.

You could also use a chalk pencil to outline your stencil if you find one that works with your carpet and shows up well. Draw a border with fabric chalk and a yard stick on the carpet outlining the perimeter of the pattern. It was the perfect size but pretty boring so i spent the better part of a day customizing it with bb frösch chalk paint. Did you find that it went hard.

That would be much quicker. I prefer annie sloan chalk paint for the great coverage on any type of canvas and this paint was my choice for the rug project too. Do not use a long nap paint roller to simply roll the paint onto the carpet as the paint will sit on top of the fibers rather than being deposited between the fibers. The carpet will be stiff at first but will soften as you add more coats.

Has anyone ever tried to paint a carpet with chalk paint. Here s the real beauty of using chalk paint. Apply the paint with a brush and work the paint between and into the fibers as much as you can. If you do get chalk paint on the carpet or floor you can remove it easily with dish soap or laundry detergent water and a little elbow grease.

Use a water based latex paint with a fabric softener. I would really appreciate any feedback on this idea as i don t want to buy a whole new carpet for a rental property.
