Supplies Used:
-(2) folding chairs
-(2) square pieces of fabric (size depends on chair cushion)
-spray paint (color of choice)
-staple gun/wood staples
-Acetone
This Folding Chair Redo was definitely the definition of trash to treasure! We actually found these in the attic at our grandma's house where they had absolutely no use. :( Today, we use them all the time and get tons of compliments!
Before Pic:
1. We began by punching out the cushion seats of the chairs and setting them aside.
2. Next we cleaned the chairs well with acetone. This helped get off any stains before spray painting.
3. We then spray painted two coats of paint on each folding chair.
Tip: Make sure you fold the chairs in between coats to make sure you covered the spots in between the fold.
4. While the spray paint dried, we began upholstering the seat cushions.
For our seats we chose to leave the previous leather on there since it really didn't make since to rip it off. We then placed our fabric squares on the cushion, pulled them tight to the back, and stapled them down. Go ahead and use as many staples as you need. It's best to use too many than not enough. ;) Feel free trim away any extra fabric AFTER you staple it down.
5. Once the paint is dry and your upholstery is complete, reassemble your folding chairs and you're done!
Happy Crafting!
