Refashion!!

It's no secret at our house I have wanted a new kitchen table for the past few years. Since I'm too frugal to go buy a brand new table, and I haven't found one that meets my buy price yet. I decided to give our table a face lift.  I found a yard of sturdy upolstry fabric in the reminant bin at Hobby Lobby. At 7.00 dollars it met my buy price. The result was a much needed refashion to the chairs and it took less than an hour.
The old material is on the left, and the material is on the right.

Materials needed: enough material for your chairs, scissors or exactoknife, staple gun, hardware to take cushion off chair.

Step 1. Unscrew your cushion from the chair. Measure your chairs, so you have enough material to cover your cushion.

Step 2. Cut out your material.

Step 3. Take your precut material and lay printed side facing down. Take your cushion and place it on the negative side of material. The fold over excess on the board of your cushion, pull it fairly tight and staple it.

Step 4. Trim any excess material.

Step 5. Screw cushion back onto chair.

Step 6. Enjoy the pretty refashioned chair!!
