What was the bleach concentration you used?
Use Chalk paint for fabric. No crunchies.
I didn't even think of that! 😍
Did chalk paint work? Did you mix with water?
I've never thought about Chalk paint. How do you prep it before you start painting the rug? Mix it with anything? Did it need to be finished with the wax topcoat, too?
just paint? will it truly be ok
@@stacyqhigginbotham6191 You wet it, then keep wetting it as you add the chalk paint. Paint should be watered down. Check Annie Sloan's video on here for chalk painting fabric - that will give you some ideas. You are in effect dyeing the fabric with paint. I think in the video I'm picturing of, she is painting a French-style armchair in a soft blue.
thank you Thank You THANK YOU - for telling the pro's & con's I so appreciate your candor and honesty.. You really helped me make some serious decisions and I appreciate your information. As a real factual diy'er
I’m so glad this video was helpful!
This video was exactly what I needed...Toooo the thrift store!
Awesome! Good luck! 🥳
I painted my rug a few years ago, and am about to repaint it. Just a little tip...if you add equal part water, floetrol and paint to a spray bottle. Shake the mixture every 5ish minutes, spray the rug and use a bristle brush to brush the color into the rug! Doing it this way kept my rug softer, it got a little crunchy but after a day or two of normal use it softened back to normal!
That’s an amazing tip! Thank you!!
What do y'all think about this project? My boss will have to buy another one. Our maintenance man put BLEACH, of all things, in the carpet cleaner. He's been here 14+ years and did this. ...anyways ..
The plan is to repaint the whole rug back to the original design with the hotel Logo. Y'all believe I can do this in stages and use painters tape and cardboard in order to paint each color separately? I was going to try using the fabric spraypaint by 🌷 Tulip. I need to use what will last the longest. Please let me know what you ladies come up with! Thanks!!
How long did it take to dry ??
Does this last in high traffic areas?
You should've used liquid fabric softner mixed with paint. It would've been soft.
I was going to suggest the same thing, that combination works really well on fabric
Does it work?
Sanding between coats will soften the fibers.
That’s great to know! Thank you
how do you sand a carpet though?
I cant believe the women was charging 50 for that rug. It shouldn't of been more than 20. Inwould of gave it away free because it should out on the tree lawn! You did a great job!
I totally agree! 😅
Thank you ❤️
Scotchguard, chemicals and toddlers? Just a worried grandma type
Amazing and beautiful results though
You worked hard on it and it really is pretty. And you could use it also outside on the patio like someone suggested. Thank you for sharing your experience taught a lot of us. 😊
@maureencallaway7879 thanks for the kind comment! I gifted it to a friend about a year ago but it was a great project!
The rug is stunning.
Thank you! ❤️
This would be great in a sunroom! If it is outdoor paint, it would work for a patio also. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your support!
Next time add liquid fabric softer to your paint ❤ that texture you have will work perfect for the patio or out doors.
Great idea! Thank you!
Perfect for my outdoor rug
I like it. If you can get a nice oriental fabric, stick it on and theres a brand new carpet. If you are
willing, cut it in 2 to fit the fabric breadth
Ross has REALLLY nice inexpensive rugs!!
I don’t know why I never think of Ross! They sure do! 👀
I wonder if it would help to take a heavy duty metal wire brush to it to break up the crunchies and soften it?
I think with this type of rug it would make it look really frizzy, but it would probably work on a different material!
I think your rug came out reallly good. Thanks for sharing. I plan to do this with a rug , not sure if it’s outdoor or indoor rug.
Thank you so much! If you have Instagram I would love it if you tag me when you do it so I can see! 😍 @mamatriedofficial
Hey did you do the outdoor or indoor
Indoor 🙂
That's a great idea, to use that method for a outside rug
Thank you mamá
Put a poly over it, then you can just mop it! There’s one made specifically for fabric!
That's so smart!
Sand it and chalk paint. Will make a lot softer
Good job❤😊🎉
Thanks 🫶🏼
YES you did a great rug. love it. and I think it was a great budget too. I have a Bamboo Floor Area Rug that I found so i'm going to paint that i been wondering if work after look at you rug I thing it will
Thank you! ❤️ good luck with your project!
I like the original rug w the orange pattern…And after one coat of paint when you could see the pattern peeking thru …
15like.. it's really wonderful video...i liked your presentation style..it is really awesome.... excellent work 👌👍👍 full watched from myside...
Thank you!
Should have mixed fabric softener with yr paint. Or simply used fabric paint. May have been some softer
Fabric paint was just so much more expensive, that's why I opted for the other route. I know better for next time though! lol
I made the mistake of buying a rug for $40 on FB market place and it stunk so bad like a dog that I couldn't use it. Thankfully I had a dumpster available to me to throw it away in. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I drove away with that stupid stinky thing in my car. I brought it home and was going to try to clean it with the steam cleaner but the smell was in the backing and I knew I wouldn't be able to get the smell out.
Luckily I was able to get the smell out of mine! I will 100% not be buying a used rug again though lol
I just did that stupid mistake but don't want to trow it away lol
Amonia or vinegar to remove ordor. Worked to remove dog urine.
Pine jel takes deepsetting smells away. It worked on my tiles, now for the carpet. Nothing worked thus far. So pinejel is my last resort.
What is scotch guard ?
It’s a spray that you use to protect your fabrics. I spray it on my textile shoes & boots, if I think they may ever get wet-I think there’s a special one for suede (I can’t remember); outdoor furniture cushions and pillows; and even doormats that have decorations on them so the rain doesn’t wash it away so quickly. I’ve used it for years!
Awesome Great artist Great work
Thank you!
@@MamaTried welcome friend
Mama succeeded
BEST COMMENT 😘👑
8 hundred dollars 😳, I don’t know what type of rug that is because you can buy one that size for about £100
Whoa, I need to go shopping with you! 😍
I spent that on a rug 1/4 this size for my daughter’s room and it was a great deal.
You mix your paint with fabric softner.... boom.... not hard.... feels like fabric
Girl what kind of paint did you use?
Hey Lynn! I used Behr premium plus paint and primer in one flat
in the color Almond Brittle!
@@MamaTried ty so much!
You’re welcome 😊
Mix fabric softener with it maybe
What kind of paint to use on rugs everyone just saying diy paints I have no clue what to buy for my rug project
Everything I used is linked in the video description!
omggggg I would have totally pressure washed it to look new again!!!
Can you please tell me if you diluted the bleach and if yes, in which parts of water did you mix it in?
I did, 1/2 and 1/2
@@MamaTried thank you :D
If u get a swede brush now and go over it it with soften it
Try using a finetooth saw blade as a brush on it.
What paint do u use plze
But it's a nice colour, x
Thank you!
💚So now you have that bleachy mat that you wanted?
Chalk paint, would of been easier, after the first coat, u drush it with a hard brush, too make it fluffy, shouldn't of bleached it at all x
I really considered chalk paint but the price was so much higher and I didn't want to put too much money into this project since I was skeptical about it actually working out! The rug was very flat, and not fluffy to begin with so if I would have used a hard brush it probably would have ripped the fibers 🙈
@@MamaTried I make my own chalk paint with cheap mis matched paint from Walmart & plaster of Paris .
She should have paid you to take it away 😄
What kind of pint did you use
Hey Janaiah! I used Behr premium plus paint and primer in one flat in the color Almond Brittle!
You did good! Adding 1 part of fabric medium to the paint and sanding in between coats would have made it stay soft.
I wish I knew this before tackling this project! 😍 thank you!
You should still be able to sand it to smooth it out. Well I’m currently looking at diy’s on how to paint furniture. and this is what I have leaned. Check out the diy’s on painting fabric You did a great job.
@@hotmessdiy1045 I will try that! Thank you!
Thanks for “practicing” so we can learn from your mistakes ♥️
@@carolynsnodgrass6568 yes ma’am! ❤️
What kind of paint u use
Hey there! Everything I used should be linked in the video description. 😊
I like your channel name.
Should've used "fabric" paint... may have worked and been softer without the crunchy feeling left?? Idk..just a thought 🤔
Hmmm probably! It would probably be a lot more expensive though
@@MamaTried I didn't think of that part 😂 ur probably right too.
I also think they make some kind of additive to make paints into a "fabric" paint.. but ..again, probably expensive too.. idk. Would have to check into the costs of the different ways to accomplish a more desired end result n then weigh it all out. BTW I'm kinda in same boat.. I bought a big ole rug that I'm not thrilled with too, and found you while searching for ideas to change it 😉smh 🤦 🤣
I got Flood all to help with it and honestly it didn’t turn out bad! I talked to about 10 people at Lowe’s and Home Depot and this is the route they suggested! ❤️
Sweetheart, please provide a list of supplies.
Hi Pat!
If you click the linktree in the video description and scroll almost to the bottom I have the products I used. I hope this helps! 😊
I am actually thinking about white washing my carpet. It's super ugly.
Damn
Great job but you should have used a coat of primer first
That was a Persia carpet but as long as you happy
I wish it was like new before I got it, but it was in really bad shape. I would have loved it in new condition or even gently used! 😍❤️
@@MamaTried that's
The carpet you bought was not old or faded, it was Persian carpet, new, or just barely used, but u didn't know, $300.00 & up to $1,000 see my post above. Next time u may want to check CZcams before panic painting. I learned the hard way.
@@sede5111 the stains, fading, smell and parts that were deteriorating were all signs of a very old, very used rug. I don’t know if we are looking at the same rug here but no one in their right mind would spend $300-$1k on that rug. I’m still mad at I paid $50. Sorry you learned the hard way, but I learned to never buy a used rug again. 😅
@@MamaTried My bad: I didn't see or hear u say it was deteriorating & smelled. I thought u sd "well loved", which means different things to different people. It looked to be the Persians which are so popular now, with the faded, threadbare look. I prefer vibrant colors, but many others love the faded, old, well-worn rugs. But, I don't think any of us like something that smells. Thank you for your vlogs, & the great ideas u come up with. You have a beautiful baby.
It had an “old smell” if that makes sense. I was able to get rid of the smell with my carpet cleaner though. Thank you so much for the support! It really means a lot ❤️
"whenever" does not mean the same thing as "when". Why do Americans use the wrong word just because it's longer? I keep hearing it and it just makes the US education system sound useless
It is useless. Just like your comment.
Thanks for the demonstration and your willingness to not recommend! The color is beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
