How to upholster a chair

 What you will need:

Fabric

Scissors

Staple gun and staples

Screwdriver

Spray paint

I’ve been tapping into my inner crafter and have been doing a lot of DIY projects. When I went to Hobby Lobby the time before last, I spotted this material that I absolutely loved. I didn’t buy it then, because at the time I didn’t know what I would use it for.  But I ended up buying 2 chairs from the Peddlers mall ( for $3.25 total that was a great deal) so that I could reupholster them,  and went back to Hobby Lobby with the intent of buying the material I had noticed previously. I bought a yard and a half of the material ($17.99 a yard but you can use the 40% off coupon they offer on their website) and went along my way.  I came home and took the chairs apart and washed them and let them dry.

In the seat of the frame it had rusted a little, so I sanded that down a bit. The good thing is the part that’s rusted will be under the seat so no one will see it. J

I spray painted the frame and let it dry over night, just to be sure it was good and dry. While the frame was drying, I took apart the back and seat cushions and reupholstered them.

While the frame was drying, I took apart the back and seat cushions and reupholstered them.

Of course, you will need to cut the material to the size of the cushions and staple the fabric at the bottom of the cushion so the staples won’t be seen.

Once the frame was dry and the cushions had been upholstered, it was time to put the chair back together for the finished result.

BAM!!! Lol Isn’t that cute?!
