This workshop walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
Mandy at Sugar Bee shows you how she got her office chair reupholstered Handmade style, for her new craft room. See how nice it turned out.
I don’t think I’ve told you, but I’m working on vamping up my craft room. It’s in the works. But the chair is done, and I LOVE it!! I found the basic office chair at a thrift store and redid it:
WOW, right?! What a difference paint and fabric can make!! Did you know these kind of chair could come apart – I wasn’t sure, but they do.
After taking off the seats, I spraypainted everything else. It’s a plastic chair, so I was sure to use the spraypaint specially designed for plastics (I used Krylon Fusion for plastics in red). My husband was skeptical of paint sticking to plastic (he’s a plastics engineer) but it worked great!
Then I wrapped my fabric around the seat parts and stapled it to the back. I didn’t even take off the old fabric – just wrapped over it all.
Then screw it all back together and you’re done. The chair went from “drab” to “fab” (my model was begging to sit on it for a picture) – I really love it!
