Upholstered Chair

When I revamped my new office desk and chairs, I had decided right away that I really wanted to upholstery the chairs. I knew this was going to be a bit of a challenge since they were not previously upholstered. With a little Internet research and Joann fabrics visit...I was able to do them myself and they turned out great!

Chairs before

Upholstered

Supplies I used:

- Chair Foam (I bought it by the yard @ JoAnn's)

- Batting

- Fabric

- Heavy Duty Stapler

Step 1:

Cut foam to about .5 - 1" larger than area needed. Cut batting even

larger to overlap and staple to bottom. You can also cut batting off

if you have too big of a piece after it's all finished.

Step 2:

Staple batting to bottom

Step 3:

Cut your fabric to the side needed and use the heavy duty

stapler to attach to the bottom. I used lots and lots of staples!

I stapled all sides and did the corners last.

 Step 4:

After using lots and lots of staples...I cut off any excess to clean it up a bit.

Finished product:

I then had to put them on, which was a task. These chair bottoms indent into

the back rest so when you add a few inches to the bottom and decide to put

it back into the same space it was before...you may have to get a hammer

and pound it in so it's where you want it to be.

I then had to put in the screws that attached the bottom to the frame of the chair. Not sure if I really had too since it was very tightly in place...but for good measure, I decided to.

Finished...Love!!!
