How To Reupholster A Chair Cushion

Reupholstering a chair cushion is a great way to give your furniture a new look without having to buy a new one. It's also a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the steps on how to reupholster a chair cushion:

Materials you'll need:

New fabric
Scissors
Staple gun
Staples
Measuring tape
Pencil or fabric marker

Instructions:

1. Remove the old fabric.

Start by removing the old fabric from the cushion. You can do this by carefully prying the staples out with a flathead screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the cushion.

2. Measure and cut the new fabric.

Once the old fabric is removed, measure the cushion and cut out a new piece of fabric that is slightly larger than the cushion. You want the fabric to overlap the edges of the cushion by about 1 inch.

3. Staple the new fabric to the cushion.

Place the new fabric over the cushion and staple it in place. Start by stapling the fabric in the center of each side. Then, work your way around the cushion, stapling the fabric every few inches.

4. Trim the excess fabric.

Once the fabric is stapled in place, trim the excess fabric around the edges of the cushion. Be careful not to cut the fabric too close to the staples.

5. Enjoy your newly reupholstered chair cushion!

Your chair cushion is now reupholstered and ready to enjoy. You can now sit back and relax in your newly upholstered chair.

Tips:

If you're not sure how much fabric to cut, it's always better to cut more than you need. You can always trim the excess fabric later.
When stapling the fabric, be sure to pull the fabric taut so that it's wrinkle-free.
If you're using a patterned fabric, be sure to match the pattern when you staple the fabric to the cushion.
