16 Chair Makeovers With Paint, Stencils, and Design Transfers

January 31, 2021

I love upcycling chairs, even these little metal child's folding chairs.

I am also sharing 15 other chair upcycle projects that I have completed in the past!

After washing the chair with hot soapy Dawn Dish Soap water, I brushed on a couple of coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Midnight Sky. Midnight sky is a black navy blue.

I used a foam brush.

I then pulled out my French style Chateau de Villandry stencil from Maison de Stencils.

I pounced on the stencil in two parts, Chateau across the chair back and the rest of the stencil on the seat. I chose Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Drop Cloth for the lettering.

I sealed the paint and stencils with Dixie Belle Easy Peasy Spray Wax.
