How do I reupholster the cushions here?
One of my dining room chairs is getting older (see attached pic). I need to reupholster and this faux wicker and not sure how to do that to match the entire dining room set and the living room furniture. My dad gave me these for my family as an inheritance when my mom passed away. The cushions are a greenish grayish color 🤷🏻♀️

Turn the chair over, and unscrew the seat off...... then recover and/or add new foam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ73SwB4dpE

The seat should be removable. Check underneath for screws. After removing the old fabric, use it as a pattern for the new. The new fabric can be stapled on.
Here's another step by step! Most chair seats are attached with just a couple of screws up through the bottom of them. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/furniture/curbside-chairs-get-a-makeover-10050118

Yes, unscrew the seats and you can staple the new fabric over the old, if you want.

It is not hard to reupholster a dining room chair. Go to Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon and get some home fabric that has been scotchguarded. Get enough yardage to do all your chairs. Do not do stripes as they are a bear to keep straight. Follow this tutorial.

Hello,
Look underneath to remove fixing for seat if not the Pop up kind!
The seat part of the chair, should come off quite easy. Then find the material you like.

Thank you all!
Hi,
Just a thought, if you haven't already finished the job! You could use Shower curtain as fabric, then it will be waterproof too.
