Outdoor furniture can get beat up pretty bad from being outside in the elements and pushed in and out of storage – especially cushions – they fade and get stained so quick. Even if your cushions are in great condition – styles change and patterns get dated fast! Reupholstering or replacing your cushions is SO expensive. The perfect solution to update your outdoor cushions is to paint them! Yes, you can paint your outdoor cushions and you won’t believe how comfy, durable and fabulous they look. AND it’s super quick and cheap!
STEP 1 — Remove any dirt or grime from your cushions
STEP 2 — Give your paint can a good stir to get all that yummy pigment from the bottom
STEP 3 — Apply one coat of paint
STEP 4 — Let the first coat completely dry and paint on another coat. Remember that fabric takes longer to dry than furniture. The first coat may take a few hours to fully dry
STEP 5 — Let it sit overnight
STEP 6 — Using a fine grit sandpaper (180+), gently sand your surface
STEP 7 — Dust off your surface and apply a coat of House&Canvas Wax Top Coat in Clear
STEP 8 — Let your cushions sit for a few days so the wax can fully cure. Then they are good to go!
Once your cushions are finished and the wax has had a chance to fully cure they are ready to enjoy. The beauty of the wax top coat is that it is water resistant. Liquid will just bead off. You’l notice after lots of use the paint does NOT crack, nor rub off.
The only thing you want to avoid is leaving your cushions in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Like anything that sits in direct sunlight, they will be at risk of fading or the wax becoming soft. Our wax is solvent free and made entirely from natural waxes, therefore it is not UV resistant.

I absolutely love outdoor decorations that use wine bottles! Especially blue bottles, but those can be harder to come by. I have colored bottles before using Modge Podge and food coloring for a transparent bottle, or with spray paint for an opaque one, but I wanted something different this time.
