Reupholster Dining Room Table Chairs

Reupholster Dining Room Table Chairs

I got this great table and chairs set on a craigslist sale for a great price, but for a year the stained cushions have been driving me crazy!  Finally, I set out to change that.  It's so easy I couldn't believe it.

Things you'll need:
1. Staple Gun $10 ( I went to Home Depot and purchased a 'light duty' staple gun)
2. Staples $3 (Ask for help if you're confused.  I had to make a return because I got the wrong kind)
3. Screw Driver
4. Fabric (Enough to have at least 1/2 inch go past the bottom of the chair)

I used the fabric from two decorative pillows. Use a seam ripper to remove the stuffing and separate the squares of fabric.  You have 4 pieces of fabric now. Remove chair cushion with a screw driver, use a staple gun to secure the fabric, screw the cushion back on and you have a beautiful chair! I used the left over stuffing to plum up the decorative pillows I currently use on my bed. No material was wasted.
