DIY: $5.00 Burlap Vanity Chair Makeover
5 Materials
$5
1 Hour
Easy
This was one of our latest curbside finds as you can see from the before photo it definitely needed some TLC! It had some tears and the white fabric was faded badly. This little chair which by the way I use almost every day had good bones but needed a little sparkle.
We brought the chair home and quickly disassembled the cushion
Step 1 - Unscrew the seat from the vanity chair. This one only had 4 screws.
Step 2 - Remove backing on chair.
Step 3 - Remove fabric off top. To save time I used a razor knife and didn't worry about getting all of the old staples out.
Step 4 - line up fabric under the seat top like a place mat.
Step 5 - Start stapling fabric all around don't worry about being to neat unless you don't like the pleating on the front if you are a perfectionist you will have to take your time with this. I'm not ;)
Step 6 - Trim the bottom if you want.
Step 7 - Line seat back up and screw it back on chair.
Step 8 - Flip it over and sit in it :)
