– Chairs to Upholster– Fabric of your choice– Batting– 1/2″ plywood– Upholstery staple remover– Flathead Screwdriver and Needle nose pliers– Fabric scissors– Staple gun– 3/8″ or 1/2″ staples
REPLACE THE PLYWOOD IF NEEDEDCheck out the wood and foam that’s underneath to see if it’s in good enough condition to reuse or not. If it need's to be replaced, use the old plywood as a pattern to cut new 1/2″ plywood using a jigsaw.
REPLACE FOAM AND BATTING IF NEEDEDIf your foam still has good bounce and it’s comfortable and it doesn’t look stained or gross, you can definitely reuse it.
Use a staple gun to attach your fabric under the seat. Start with one staple in the center of each side, wrap the fabric around pulling it tight. Use a staple to hold it in place.
Cut the excess fabric about 1/2" down from the fold. Do not cut too close to the seat. Pull the flap of fabric toward the bottom chair and tuck the excess into the fold as you pull it. Pull tight and staple. Repeat for the other 3 corners.
