6 Easy Steps to Recovering a Chair

A great way to change things up is simply to consider new fabrics. If you're kitchen table has had the same chair covers since you bought it, go pick out some fabric and read do the following:

1. Remove the screws connecting the chair bottom to the frame and set aside.

2. Turn chair bottom upside down on the back side of fabric.

3. Cut the fabric 3" away from the chair bottom. Depending on thickness, you might want to cut more.

4. Attach one side of fabric to the bottom of the chair pad using a staple gun. Continue doing this starting with the side directly opposite the one you began.

5. After all sides are attached to the bottom with a staple, cut the excess in the middle.

6. Flip the newly covered chair bottom and re-attach to the chair with the screws. Keep in mind that sometimes longer or new screws may be needed.
