Paint-on chair covers

When we got new chairs with white seats last year I knew they wouldn't last.  But finding affordable chair covers that won't get ripped and ruined by my two-year-old son was a real challenge.  And then the staining process began.  Why do kids choose the messiest food on their plate to throw?  I decided to start a summer project with my daughter and I bought some fabric paints.  First we sketch out the design on the chair in pencil and then my daughter and I paint directly onto the chair's cushions.  The stains are gone.  And the chairs, coated in the paint, are easy to wipe clean!  Plus, I think it looks nice.  The biggest problem is convincing her that the Care Bears aren't a good design choice for the chairs.  Instead we settled on a nice rainbow for the first one!
