My Chair Project With Nita






The 'Before' chair. Really didn't look too bad--just not a great color to deal with for kids. They were starting to look pretty dirty. This is one of the better ones. Plus they were just covered with fabric-hard to clean. I wanted to put plastic on them so they would be easy to clean.

The 'before' chair seat up close. Yuck! We got them from Goodwill for like $5 a piece. They really weren't too bad. We used them this way for months before doing this project.

Using the old material off the chair seat as a pattern for the new material. Worked pretty well. Then we cut it out and started attatching the new material.

Working on stapeling the corners first. Then we worked our way around the edges.

Pulling the fabric and plastic tight around all the edges to staple it securely.

The bottom of the seat once we got both the material and the plastic layers attatched with staples.

Looking at the bottom once we got the soft cotton cover back on to hide all the staples.

Nita working on putting the screws back into the bottom that hold the seat in securely.

  1. They look great! Jared and I made the mistake of buying chairs with fabric. They are ALWAYS dirty! What a great solution! Nice job.
