It wears amazing, and actually repels anything liquid as well because of the paint and wax barrier. It does get slightly stiff, but that’s the feel of leather anyway. I love this technique.

Emily Cole no, not at all. You have to use thinned out paint as this is more a dyeing technique rather than painting, which makes the paint less rigid. Also stretches it out so you need less. There are many chalk painting fabric videos on KZread. Just watch a few to see all the techniques and do what works for you.

@Emmy Bentley watch Debi's Design Diary. She created diy paint brand a clay base paint. She does it differently. She has done a couch and other pieces. Her couch in her house was done years ago and still looks gorgeous. Her way is like dying it and leaves material soft not leather like.

OMG THE FOOTSTOOL- so cute.

I love how you have Stuart McLean books on the wee foot stool. ❤

Wow...that chair! I’ve reupholstered before and it’s the pits! Next time I’d try this method. 👍👍👍

That chair was amazing! I've got a tub chair that my Pops gave me when my Nana died, it was her chair she sat in everyday so is very special to me. I've been wanting to get it reupholstered but it's guna cost me about $400! I thought about trying to sew my own slip cover, but now I'm thinking that maybe I could give this a go, I guess if I ruin it that I'll just have to fork out the $400 to get it recovered!

Will Patton as an Audible narrator... Amazing!!!

I never leave comments. But I felt the need to motivate the Consumer Machine for good. Give this lil cuteheart her own network show already, someone! I'm an obsessed DIY'er and lifeloing vintage thrifter who stumbled onto this video while looking for a helpful inspirational, no-nonsense tutorial on the best way to paint faux leather. Like a drunken sophomore trying to get lucky at a party, this usually means forcing myself to listen to a screechy voiced, poorly lit, and ill-informed numpty who is attempting to make their way towards a ridiculously useless point for way too long just to learn something. BUT this one...She is a freaking breath of fresh air! She's sunshine! She's entertaining, likable, funny, has a great dog and probably a really cool Mom. Not to mention a great sponsor. If I didn't already have an Audible account, I'd be getting one. Danie, take my money! ;.) x You have wicked style! Awesome job! x

Can’t possibly pick a favorite; they are all so amazing.

Love that “leather chair” have you done a video on how it’s looking a year later?

I am doing this to a microfiber club chair following the directions to a T. We've had the chair for more than 15 years, is well-made and has been well-loved by dogs and humans. It was tired, stained, and destined for the trash heap. I am on coat three of the paint and it looks AMAZING. The microfiber feels like suede--even after 3 coats of paint it's still not super scratchy. I can't wait to get to the wax phase--this is going to be our new favorite "leather" club chair--and I didn't have to spend $1000 on a new one!

Like mother, like daughter.❤️

Awesome Job on This! I painted a Louis Chair about 10 years ago, and shared it on my blog and Instagram. It's still in my livingroom and still looks amazing. We've sat on it a million times and it's held up so well. It also had a pattern to the fabric beneath that only added to the look. It's solid white, and I love it. I love the details you added to address the leather look. And that footstool! Beyond cute, the lamps too, very talented young lady! Great job!

Keep up the great work and providing so many of us that are at home with fantastic content.

All these projects were awesome! That last chair... speechless wow!

You’re a genius!! The chair was my favorite! I had no idea paint can look like leather?!!?

OMG that lampshade!! I'm swooning over everything!! Wow!!

After this video I used charcoal colored chalk paint instead of reupholstering an ottoman that my dad spilled printer ink on. It turned out beautifully and was so easy! Thanks for the inspo!

Ok, I'm a vegetarian and I'm no longer comfortable with authentic leather items. But I really love the look and quality faux leather furniture is pretty hard to come by at a reasonable price tag. So I NEED TO TRY THIS on a thrifted item RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! Thank you DIY decor Queen!!

That chair 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Genius! The only word that comes to mind!

The chair and foot stool are my favorite!!!

Omg! Best trash to treasure (upcycle) video ever. I love them all! Well three 1st places (stool, chair, pink lamp) and 2nd place is splatter lamp. Great job!

WOW! My mind is blown! Just when I said to myself that I would use either spray paint or reupholster!

JUST watched a video in the last couple of days where a woman painted her sofa because she heard it would work. It was dusty and crunchy. She must have missed the WAX step! Can't believe how much this looks like a leather chair! Love the lampshade with the pink lamp too! AND the footstool and the other lamp.

you are my hero......I just picked up about 5 lamps from thrift store last week ..... now I know what to do😀😀😀
