Materials used for painting rug.

Can you paint a rug. The fifth tip is to roll from the edge of the tape in toward the bare rug. Mix in 1 2 drops of water for each cup of chalk finish paint to help it glide on.

I purchased martha stewart s acrylic craft paint and mixed it with her tintable fabric medium. Alternatively you can fill a spray bottle with water and use it to slightly dampen the rug before painting. The fabric medium helps the paint to have a softer more flexible finish. Put the paint in a paint tray roll the roller in the paint and then roll it on a paper towel before you roll it on the rug.
