DIY: Junk chair refresh
Ya just never know what a secondhand find can inspire. That’s what happened when I found the most beautiful upholstery fabric in my local thrift store. It was a large piece that I paid maybe $5 for. And it’s helped make magic happen for a few dated chairs. This DIY took me an afternoon to turn trash into treasure and I love it!
Supplies:
- chair
- fabric
- foam (optional)
- scissors
- upholstery tacks and upholstery tack hammer OR staples and staple gun
Scour your local thrift store for fabric. Ideally you can find some upholstery fabric to work with.
I bought this chair for $1 from the Sechelt dump’s Share Shed. You’ll want to remove the seat then refinish the chair.
