Now this is pretty funny coming from me

a NEWB!

Want to learn how to reupholster chairs?

My way?

 Ok, so your going to laugh if you are in the biz and you see my tutorial, however,

the end result is the same

no matter how

I got here:)

First,

I found my fabric of choice.

I did NOT go with a fabric with a picture scene, like for example roosters, or something of that nature.

There is NO way I could have gotten them all the same and uniform looking.

Remember, I’m a newb!

So I found  a simple Gingham check on sale for $3.49 a yard at Hobby lobby. Don’t forget your coupons!

You can even bring one up on your phone if you do.

I bought 6 yards of fabric  just to be on the safe side.

I could have gotten away with 5 yards for six chairs, in fact that is even more than enough.

Again, I picked a simple non matching pattern.

{Pardon my picture quality as I started these late last night}

As you can see I placed my chair pad on the fabric and cut a square allowing approximately 3 ½ inches  extra on each side.

Probably too much on that as well, I could have maybe done 3 inches…

I’m a newb, stop laughing at me  all you experts out there.

I folded, pulled and stapled as I went along.

Sorta like a gift wrapped package as you can see.

LOTS of pulling to make it tight.

My hands are killing me.

The staples did not even go in all the way.

But that was OK, everything was pulled snugly and they are on there secure.

Now here is the funny part for you.

Looks like a botched up mess right?

I assure, you the other side does not….

SEE! I told ya!

 

They turned out pretty good for a newb, and for less than $20.00 I have a new look!

I will show you the rest of our kitchen here shortly.

I have been cleaning, rearranging and Springifying!

Needless to say, I am exhausted.  This job is not the easiest on your hands and neck…but worth the pain

I suppose.

If I can do this, you can too!

Oh, and just don’t peek underneath:)

Thanks for stopping by today!

There is plenty more to see!
