Save time and money by doing it yourself instead of buying replacement chairs.
Another great option for a little extra money is to choose impervious fabrics that wipe clean for when kids get messy at the table to cut down on extra fuss with having to replace throughout the year.
Fabric
(measured and cut for each chair)
Staple Gun
Staples
Double-headed Screwdriver
or Drill
Craft Scissors
Extra Washers and Screws (as needed)
We saved a lot of time and energy by removing the full cushion and taking it to the craft store to get the most precise measurement. It also helps when trying to recreate the same look, color, or texture or to see how something completely different may look and feel, eliminating the guesswork.
For this project we had a total of six chairs to reupholster but you can ask for extra slack to allow for margin of error or to replace throughout the year as needed.
from the cushion with a flathead screwdriver.
Take the staple gun and carefully attach to the frame of the cushion. Repeat until staples are secure around the entire cushion.
Some cushions have a sheet flap as pictured, if so don’t discard, simply affix and staple over the seams. Trim away any loose fabric or threading as needed.
Repeat for each chair until complete.
This task is easy enough for the ambitious to tackle throughout the year as many times as you like to change out colors or different patterns/ fabrics.
