Revive Old Dining Table Chairs

Transforming an old dining chair into a stylish piece of furniture is easier than you think! By upcycling with a silk curtain, you can give your chair a fresh, revamped look that's both eco-friendly and chic. Let's dive into the step-by-step process.

• Scissors
• Staple gun
• Ruler
• Seam ripper
• Old silk curtain
• Screw driver kit
• Fountain pen or sharpie

Dismantle the Chair Grab your trusty screwdriver and start by disassembling the dining chair. Remove the cushion attached to it, which is typically secured with screws to a wooden base underneath.

Measure the Fabric Lay out the silk curtain flat on the floor and measure out the material size needed to cover the cushion. Using a ruler and pen, sketch the dimensions to ensure accuracy.

Remove Stitches and Cut Fabric to Size With a seam ripper, carefully remove any unnecessary seams in the curtain fabric. Then, using scissors, cut the fabric according to the size and sketches you've made earlier.

Create Creases in Fabric and Staple it to the Cushion Board Place the cushion on top of the fabric and fold the edges onto the cushion to create neat creases. Secure the fabric to the wooden board of the cushion with a staple gun, ensuring a smooth and snug fit. Make small folds as needed to maintain a sleek appearance.

Reassemble Finally, reattach the cushion to the chair and carefully reassemble all the chair components. Step back and admire your beautifully revamped dining chair, now ready to add a touch of elegance to any room!
