November 11, 2017

Let's verbalize birthdays. For most girls, a birthday involves getting a snazzy novel outfit or perchance a trip to the spa. But no, oh no, non me. I instruct chairs from thrift stores.

A novel ~~very old~~ chair is similar a piffling slice of heaven.

And my momma knows this.

For my birthday, she gave me this.

In my caput I could run into how awesome it would travel afterwards a piffling work.

Here's what I ended upwards with.

So, here's what I did.

I took it outside, primed it, in addition to and then spray painted it white.

Then I took all of the stuff off the chair amongst a duo of pair of scissors in addition to set the pieces out flat.

I used the one-time pieces of stuff equally my templates for the novel fabric. Once I cutting my novel stuff to check each piece, I used a heavy duty staple gun in addition to gum gun to secure the bottom piece, hand piece, in addition to dorsum piece.

As y'all tin sack run into below, the topographic point cushion is i large piece, merely wrapped merely about the edges in addition to stapled underneath. For the business office merely about the legs, I cutting the stuff unopen to the border in addition to tucked nether in addition to stapled. I knew I was going to role upholstery trim down merely about all of the edges thus I wasn't worried nearly whatsoever imperfections. The trim down covers it up!

I did the same affair amongst the i large slice on the front end of the backrest cushion. I merely wrapped in addition to stapled the stuff to the back.

Then, I used my concluding slice equally a dorsum panel in addition to merely stapled in addition to glued it over everything. Do this concluding thus that it covers upwards where y'all stapled the front end slice of the cushion on.

I also decided to role the upholstery trim down along every unmarried seam.

I've never done that before, but I dearest the agency it turned out. It feels almost nautical!
