How do I reupholster my old chair?

Reupholstering a chair involves removing the old fabric, repairing the frame if needed, and applying new fabric. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please! What tools do I need?

You'll need a staple gun, fabric scissors, a screwdriver, and some upholstery fabric. Do you have these tools?

I have most of them. How do I start removing the old fabric?

Start by turning the chair upside down. Use a screwdriver to remove any screws holding the fabric in place, then carefully pull off the old fabric.

What if I find damage to the foam or padding?

If the foam is damaged, you can replace it with new upholstery foam. Just cut it to size and secure it with spray adhesive before adding the new fabric.
