Chair Redo




I found these chairs on Craigslist for $4. When my husband saw them, he gave me a look that meant, "Are you sure you want those gross things?" He didn't realize that I had plans to recover them.

The wood was in great shape. It matched our other kitchen chairs so I left it as is.

I waited until Jo-Anns had a 40% off fabric sale and then bought 2 yards of fabric.

I'm sorry I don't have pictures of how I did the cushion, but I'll give you the steps:
1. Remove cushion from the chair
2. Take out all of the staples
3. I then used the old fabric as a pattern for the new fabric.
4. Cut out the new fabric
5. Use a staple gun to attach it to the chair seat. (The padding was in great condition so I did not redo it. )

The finished chairs. I love the stripes!!

Total cost: $8 for the chairs and fabric
