michaels has outdoor craft paint--you know those little bottles for less than $2.00. I painted some outdoor pots,took 3 coats but easy to use -and lots of colors..
Going to try it on a tablecloth..but will add fabric medium to it. If this works will try outdoor pillows.

Woo Hoo!! So do we get pictures of your new projects???!!!

Is it Patio Paint you are using? That's a very good product, I used it years ago and it still looks great.

Hope you show us pics of your projects.
