laughter & treasures of our family's life together.
But it is in serious need of a remodel or update a.s.a.p.
I have always been one to try anything myself first
before I think of a professional..and thus 99% of the
time there is no need for a professional...so I have
made it a point to just "DIY" !! Most of the time..
I'm pleasantly surprised at the things I have taught
myself to do: reupholstering projects is one of them..
So here is another project which I love how it turned
out...
P.S. If I can do it ANYONE can do it!!!!
Not just that...but it only took 20 min. per
chair & $6.00 for all 4 chairs!!!! Wow..you
cannot beat the price!!!! I used about 1 1/4yds.
of fabric (I love black & white polka dots) @
about $4.44 per yd.= $5.55+tax (approx. $6)
Hopefully you'll have these tools on hand or
maybe you could borrow them from someone.
DIRECTIONS:
1) Tools Needed: Staple gun w/staples, Phillips
head screwdriver, Material, & Scissors
down & unscrewing the screws which are holding the
cushion part on. SEE BELOW:
put it in a postition so you know which one goes where.
They all may not be the same type of screws (if you
have done this before or bought chairs from a third
party)You want each screw to line up properly in
the exact hole it came from.
material (iron material if needed) & cut around it
leaving enough material so you can turn up the
edge, & staple it to the underside of the cushion.
Turn raw edge up & staple (most of 1 side (do not do
corners yet) Turn cushion around to opposite side,
& pull taut (TIGHT) & do the same thing on this side.
Then do remaining 2 sides same way. SEE BELOW:
is as smooth as you can get it. Pinch the bulkiness
together & cut only enough off so that you can still
turn it under & staple it to the backside of the cushion.
SEE BELOW:
SEE BELOW:
attach it to the wooden chair frame & your all done!!

I love the fabric you chose. It's amazing what an impact the right project can have. Everything looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dramatic change! I'm getting ready to do the 8 chairs in my dining room. It really is super easy, and the difference this makes is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dots and those bar stools are super cute. Thanks for linking up to my party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big difference it made. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a big difference!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thursday. Please join me next week for another great party. Don't forget to stop by and enter my giveaway. I'll announce the winner at next week party!
So cute! I love all of it. Those stool covers are especially adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this to A Little Craft Therapy, with Life in the Pitts!
Great job! Cute fabric! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, those look really great! I'm diggin' this site so I added you to my RSS! I can't wait to see what other awesome ideas you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting you from Friend Friday.
I came to return your visit and to visit awhile..I love,love,love your blog. I've been looking about and everything I see is so pretty. I love the chairs,the stools..love your recipes (I voted for you)..I will most certainly be back. I've become a follower so as not to lose you..there's so much to see,I can't wait to return. Have a wonderful weekend..
ReplyDeleteI think I could really do that! I love the black and white - so cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteWow you did a great job!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI dont think I've ever thought (or seen) of pulling a WHOLE kitchen together with FABRIC! It's everywhere but the kitchen sink and FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteOf coarse I'll be a follower.
And as for any suggestions...always just be you. And only do what makes you happy! Please yourself and no one else. AKA: Put U first or your life will slowly disapear! heehee
Thanks for hangin out at Cuegly!
Oh! here's a good suggestion...Try leaving a comment on your own post...It's okay to have a "safe-word" for people to type first before publishing, but you need to change it so that everyone doesn't have to push PUBLISH and THEN type a word and THEN push Publish Post AGAIN. THere's a way to make a safe-word show up firstly and they only have to push "Post Comment" once.
Looks really nice.

ReplyDeleteummm those are absolutely GORGEOUS!! I cannot believe you made them, that are so pretty and look like they were bought for at least 50$ each. I'm so inspired now! We have stools that are just wood without any cushion and i've been thinking about what to do, maybe i'll just use material and put cushion material underneath and then staple or tie them!! thanks for this idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great!
