Cane Back Chair Diy Tutorial – From Drab to Fab in 10 Steps

As promised, I wanted to share with you the step by step tutorial on this lovely Cane Back Chair project I did. This is by far my favorite project I have tackled yet, and I am excited to share with you the step by step process. If you want to see my inspiration behind this project, check out Cane Back Chair Makeover Inspiration.
The Total Cost of this Makeover:Chair – $15 at a yard saleFabric – $52.21 (I purchased extra fabric in case anything went horribly wrong, but I learned that 1 yd of each fabric was enough.) at $11 a yd for the striped fabric and $12.95 a yard for the Paris fabric, I say I made out nicely with extra fabric for other projects. Spray Paint- $13.50 purchased at Home DepotSupplies - $0 (luckily I had all of it in stock already)Total Cost: $80.71 HELLO!? Do you even realize how much this chair would be marked up at a retailers? This is such a bargain!I saw some beautiful chairs similar to this at the fabric stores I checked out going for $400-$500 a piece.See the post for the full step by step tutorial :)http://artsandclassy.com/2014/02/cane-back-chair-diy-tutorial-from-drab-to-fab-in-10-steps.html
