Freshing Up The Home with New Colors
We purchased this beautiful dining room set off of Craigslist a year ago. It wasn't my dream set but it had a lot of potential. I was really excited when Cat contacted me about trying out Premier Prints fabrics because it finally ment I had the chance to recover these chairs with something more modern and contemporary.

Step 1Begin by turning your chairs over and carefully removing the screws from the back of your cushions
-
Step 2Take this opportunity to whip down your chairs and remove any dust or spills on your chairs.
-
Step 3Place your pad on your scrap fabric and make a pattern for your new covers. Make sure to leave about three inches of fabric allowance on all sides.
-
Step 4Lay your pattern out onto your fabric and trace around it using tailors chalk. 2 yards of Premier Prints fabric should cover 6 dining room chairs.
-
Step 5Press out any wrinkles from your fabric.
-
Step 6I originally tried to use a regular staple gun for my project but quickly found that it didn't pack enough punch to get through the board so I had to switch to an electric staple gun.. Fold your fabric over your pad and staple it in place.
-
Step 7I began by folding over each side and putting one staple in the center or each side and then I went back around and tightened it up.
-
Step 8I stapled the corners last. Making sure I didn't cover the holes where the screws needed to go through.
-
Step 9If my fabric did cover the holes I would mark it with a pen so I would know to go back later and cut the fabric. I also knew not to staple through that area.
-
Step 10Remove any excess fabric when you are finished.
