I'm so excited about my new chair! I've seen so many pins floating around on how to give a computer chair a little facelift! So, I dragged hubby to the thrift store, bought a chair for 20 bucks, and got to work!
BEFORE:
(Eeek!)
and AFTER!!!
Here's how I did it! {Apology in advance for not taking pictures as I did this- I wasn't really sure it was gonna work, ya know?...}
You'll need:
-Fabric (I used one yard for the seat, and four feet for the back of the chair)
-A screwdriver
-A staple gun
Here's what I used:
Take the chair apart- the seat and back. You'll need the screwdriver and some muscles for this ;-)
Here's the back of the chair. (And please ignore the awful stained hardwood floor....that's my next project...)
I started with the seat (it was easier than the back). I just wrapped the fabric around it and staple gunned (is that a verb!?!) underneath.
And here's the back. I basically wrapped it like a present and used spray adhesive on the sides. It's not perfect, but hey, it was made with love, right!?
I hid the staples underneath the back because I figured they would be the least visible there.
See!
And, like I said, I used spray adhesive to just seal up the sides. It actually seemed to work (I was surprised!)!!!
I'm sad this is our last summer Monday Made It with Tara- I feel like I'm just getting started ;) (Don't worry- she'll still be hosting the monthly MM over at her fabulous blog!)
