Add New Life to Your Dining Chairs!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [1]   During this blog, I will demonstrate how to recover a drop in dining chair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

[2] OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [3]    I used 27″ square of fabric per chair bottom, adhesive, 1″ foam, staple gun and staples.  The fabric used was Fran Tan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PROCEDURE:

 

 

Always the first step in recovering a dining room chair is to remove existing fabric. Next take a good look at your foam and determine if it needs replacing, I decided these bottoms just needed a little extra softness so I added some more foam.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [4]    After I had removed all fabric and cut an additional piece of foam, I sprayed a good amount of spray adhesive to the old foam and added the new 1″ piece of foam on top.  As you

can see in the photo I used a good amount of the adhesive.

 

 

 

 

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [5]     Now it’s time to add your fabric. I start by placing a staple in loosely to the center of  all four sides. This will help hold your fabric in the position you have decided the fabric

needs to lay.

 

 

 

 

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [6]    As you move around your chair bottom make sure to pull, smooth and staple will keeping the same tightness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA [7]   Always make sure to fold your corners neatly and toward to back of the chair bottom.
