Learn how to create a decorative furniture pattern using a simple DIY potato stamp. In this beginner-friendly furniture painting tutorial I show how you can decorate and upcycle furniture without expensive tools!
In this project I rescue an old wooden chest that had been sitting forgotten in a shed and transform it into a colourful piece of furniture art using chalk paint and a homemade potato stamp.
While clearing out bags of old bits and pieces during our house move, I also discovered a beautiful piece of fabric that had been hiding at the bottom of a junk bag. Instead of buying new supplies, I challenged myself to create a furniture makeover using only what I already had.
This DIY furniture project uses:
• a rescued wooden chest
• chalk paint
• a piece of forgotten fabric
• and a potato used as a stamp
This simple stamping technique is perfect for beginners and shows that you don't need expensive tools to create decorative painted furniture.
If you enjoy furniture upcycling, creative painting techniques, chalk paint projects, and DIY furniture makeovers, this video will give you an easy technique you can try at home.
