I've been eyeing this fabulous gold striped lumbar pillow for awhile now, but I don't really like the $50 pricetag for it. So, I came up with this genius idea to paint an old lumbar pillow case I've had around. I have wanted to try the fabric spray paint for awhile, and I thought why not try it now?!
I taped up the pillow and also taped it down to a drop cloth to keep it secure
Then I sprayed away! I don't know why, but I forgot to take a picture of the spray I used...but this is it from Joann's:
It is definitely not as fast and thorough as regular spray paint, but it does do a good job on fabric, and doesn't leave it with that crunchy feel. It was good for this small project since the bottle is so small. Larger projects might get a little tricky though, it is $6/bottle and the spray nozzle takes awhile to use. Anyway, here is how it ended up:
I was hoping for more of a metallic, shiny look of gold. This kind of looks brown to me...so I am still thinking about it:)
I don't know, maybe I should spend the $50 and just get the perfect one! Until then, this will have to do just fine! Anyone else tried the fabric spray paint yet??
