Alice In Wonderland Chair (From Thrift Store Find)
Alice in Wonderland Chair DIY
Posted by Mark Montano
About
Turn any thrift store chair into an Alice in Wonderland Chair with just a little paint and fabric. This is a terrific way to make mismatched chairs work together! Take your time, have fun and go crazy with pattern and color. I got this chair for $5 dollars at a thrift store. You can always check out my Youtube channel for a how-to video showing the entire project!
