I have always wanted to know how to reupholster, and I found out that reupholstering is not as hard as I thought!
My friend Jen allowed me to come and observe as she did the below reupholstering project. She has a darling “jungle” themed play room, so she went with animal printed fabric, which I thought turned out so cute!
Here is her before picture: Which, by the way she got two identical chairs at the D.I./Goodwill for $10.00 each.
Here is the zebra beauty that I got to help with (a tiny bit). I’m still learning, but stay tuned for some instructions. I’ll try and explain the process soon so that you can start practicing too!
She also did this Giraffe one too. I am so impressed!
Way to go Jen…you earn the “Thrifty Mamma AWARD!”
do tell instructions! I'm so excited
I have been wanting to help my mom reupholster a love seat and neither of us have dared even start the project. I'm looking forward to some detailed instructions. 🙂 What a cute idea too, i love the jungle look!
I absolutely LOVE these chairs!! I can't wait for the chairs!:)
They have a few wing back chairs at the DI right now. You should go get them.
