TUESDAY-HOW-TO: chair recover

/ / photo's + DIY by the fashion gal / /

today's TUESDAY-HOW-TO is all about taking something old {& funky} and making it new... and super bright! i picked these little gems up down the street from my house... on the street corner... with a FREE sign on them! yup, free! the fireman is ((now)) definitely used to me walking into the house with a new crazy project... so this was just another one of those crafts on my {on-going} project-list. without further adue, check out HOW-TO recover {funky} old chair cushions!

**the first step is to repaint the chairs. i went with a simple white paint. i thought white iron chairs with bright colorful cushions would look great on our deck for the summer ahead!

cut your fabric about 2.5" wider then your seat cushion.

use your first piece of fabric as a guide to cut your second piece ((this is if you have 2 chairs)).

start folding your fabric up and around the bottom of your chair. staple about 1" apart.

gather your fabric on the corner {like your wrapping a gift} and then staple.

feel free to cut your excess fabric & hammer in any loose staples.

and voila!

your chairs are ready for a summer brunch!
