Teacher Chair Makeover!

Do you have a boring grey office chair in your classroom or home office?  Wanna change it up?  I found this cute idea on Pinterest!


Before

After

 

All you need is some fabric, and a staple gun!  I had 2 ugly grey office chairs and refinished both of them in about an hour!  For the seat of the chairs, I put my fabric down on the seat and cut about 8 inches larger than I needed so I could wrap it around the bottom.  Then I flipped the chair over and started using the staple gun to secure it right on top of the ugly grey fabric.  For the backs of the chairs I sewed two pieces of fabric like a pillow case and added ribbons so that I could tie them to fit.  The link above gives a nice detail explanation if you want more info before you take out your scissors and staple gun!  A friend of mine refinished hers by using a zebra patterned pillow case and it was even quicker and she didn't have to sew anything!  She bought a pair pillow cases at Walmart for $10 and cut one up to staple onto the seat of her chair and she slipped the other one over the back, and she was done! 


Goodbye boring chairs!!
