Thrift Store Chair Makeover

Let's speak birthdays. For most girls, a birthday involves getting a snazzy novel outfit or mayhap a trip to the spa. But no, oh no, non me. I teach chairs from thrift stores.

A novel ~~very old~~ chair is similar a fiddling slice of heaven.

And my momma knows this.

For my birthday, she gave me this.

In my caput I could meet how awesome it would endure later a fiddling work.

Here's what I ended upwards with.

So, here's what I did.

I took it outside, primed it, in addition to and then spray painted it white.

Then I took all of the textile off the chair amongst a couplet of pair of scissors in addition to set the pieces out flat.

I used the one-time pieces of textile equally my templates for the novel fabric. Once I cutting my novel textile to jibe each piece, I used a heavy duty staple gun in addition to gum gun to secure the bottom piece, travel past times piece, in addition to dorsum piece.

As you lot tin meet below, the topographic point cushion is 1 large piece, but wrapped but about the edges in addition to stapled underneath. For the purpose but about the legs, I cutting the textile unopen to the border in addition to tucked nether in addition to stapled. I knew I was going to utilization upholstery cut down but about all of the edges thus I wasn't worried almost whatsoever imperfections. The cut down covers it up!

I did the same affair amongst the 1 large slice on the front end of the backrest cushion. I but wrapped in addition to stapled the textile to the back.

Then, I used my concluding slice equally a dorsum panel in addition to but stapled in addition to glued it over everything. Do this concluding thus that it covers upwards where you lot stapled the front end slice of the cushion on.

I also decided to utilization the upholstery cut down along every unmarried seam.

I've never done that before, but I honey the agency it turned out. It feels almost nautical!
