I'm having a tall bar stool legs shorten to a lower height, and I want to know what to put on the sawed off legs to keep it from sliding on slippery floors
DIY Sheepskin Stool
I had a kitchen full of stools that looked just like this & worse. I removed NOTHING. I just took them outside & repainted the legs. I cut a thick sheet of batting just a hair bigger than the seat top put just a little glue to keep it in place(no gluing is needed I did it to serve as a third hand). I turned the stool upside down & placed on a piece of "garden scene" printed denim... make sure it is big enough for all of it to fold under the seat to staple it to the bottom of the seat. I emphatically do not recommend removal of the legs, unless the legs are loose & need re-securing or reattachment. You can easily fold & pucker & tease the cloth to smooth the folds around the legs... EASILY. Trim the excess cloth off with a scissors, I had to trim around the legs with a razor blade (in a razor blade holder). Just make sure the fabric is pulled tight to either side of the legs when stapling. Then 12 years later when the denim print was faded & soiled & rubbed off... The cloth was still tight on the seat. I bought a tapestry remnant (cheep) & using the same procedure I just stapled the tapestry pieces right over what was already there & trimmed the excess. It had been another 12 years, the seats are still tight & still show no wear. Everyone who comes in wants to know where I bought my new stools, and they can't believe it when I turn them over to show what I did. Keep it simple people, what's not broke on the stools don't remove & fix it... I hate opening cans of worms. Hugs T P...
