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!

Remove the seat cushion Draw lines ever 1" or so across the top of the chair Draw a harlequin pattern along the side supports Start filling in with paint I used black and white for the stripes and blue and white for the diamonds
Paint the back red Finish painting the diamonds in the harlequin pattern Add polkadots to the red Make more of the harlequin pattern in different colors on the leg
With newspaper, make a pattern for the center support of your chair Cut out that pattern in fabric Decoupage the fabric to the back of the chair with a paintbrush and Minwax Polycrylic
Add metallic gold highlights with a metallic gold Krylon Shortcut paint pen Staple the fabric around the cushion of the chair Screw the cushion back in place and you're done!
