Can you paint a rug.

Alternatively you can fill a spray bottle with water and use it to slightly dampen the rug before painting.

You cannot skimp on the medium or you will end up with stiff carpet.

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. That keeps the paint from being so liquid that it runs underneath the tape. Use a cloth to blot any excess paint from your paintbrush and paint between your taped vs.

Add more coats as desired. Yep it can be done. The fabric medium helps the paint to have a softer more flexible finish.
