Location: MN | On the Traci dresser red front with lots of drawers, what is the center of each drawer? Looks like blue with texture or a pattern? I like it and I have dresser I would like to do like that. |

Location: Southwest Minnesota | thejerseylilly2000 - 2014-03-25 1:04 PM Ok....here's a few of the projects I've done since my last posting. I've been so busy....it's amazing. I'm incredibly blessed. And having so much fun. :))
Can you tell me what the best thing to use to put the pics on the front of the dressers? Do you use Modge Podge or is there a better product? My daughter is doing a dresser for her 4-H project this year. |

It is liquid leading. Which is designed for making fake lead lines on painted glass to look like stained glass. Then I painted copper and turquoise lightly over it after it dried overnight.
I use a putty knife to put it on with...then just go at it making the swirls with the putty knife.

Location: Central Texas | thejerseylilly2000 - 2013-04-27 10:50 PM I haven't ever reupholstered anything like that. There are YouTube videos showing how to...I've just not tried it. Now they have paint you can paint the fabric with but I haven't tried that either...it's a spray. Think it's dr by Tulip. I was told that Dixie Belle furniture paint can be used on upholstery. Let me see if I can find pictures of the chair my friend did. edited to add that I did not even realize that thread was started in 2013! LOL!

How cool is that!!! The paint really did a great job of covering up the gold, I just may have to look into this paint.. Did the paint make the fabric feel weird, like stiff/hard? |
