How can I reupholster a chair? - how to reupholster a lampshade
Someone gave me an old chair. Good looks at a culture, but part of the wallpaper is used. This may be a stupid question. But any idiot can Reupholster or if you need special training? Is there a cheap way to cover the furniture? For example, I did a search and found a large quantity of decorative furniture nails? What are these exactly. Since I have no experience in the upholstery, I thought of my material an attractive appearance and add the chair? Is this a stupid idea? In addition to remain furniture tacks? I do not want on the floor and my nails and my little pets fall on our feet.

You can Reupholster a chair.
Go to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the library and books
Filling. Then, after reading and viewing of images
their skills, on average, compared to decide. The most important thing about this job is done, the right tools. Web hood, curved needles, and especially (for me) an electric or pneumatic stapler.
By pulling the strap down, in fact, can be done by hand. A tool that grabs the belt tight enough so that
that can be turned. Filling the chair is something else that needs a little experience. Buy a cheap muslin ($ 1.) A patio, instead of the stuffing around again and change the look you desire, then follow the instructions of a book of upholstery, cover the chair in this chiffon think twice before cutting to the good substance.
The studs, unless the facility during this period for hundreds of years used in the furniture industry has been. Make sure they are only for stuffing.
From what you say, you can not be required Reupholsterhe, struggling to recover. If filling is not loose or fall, the recovery is easier.
I have recovered and two upholstered chairs and sofas.
It is a lot of work. If the president is right, why not a ceiling? This information can be found in books, too. Try your local library.
The first president I ever played, I did a big mistake. Velvet and I did not know until more than velvet, corduroy, and then a nap, even if not placed there in exactly the same direction two-tone effect is awful.
Similarly, once recovered from a chair beside the technical fabrics directly to the existing base. Lasted long. But it was good. I copied what was already there. For example, if the chair has hives at the seams. He put the cloth on the spot welds and sewn, with a curved needle. He was always, I warn you.
Furthermore, with the exception of the rear end of what you want. You can hide certain errors, to the back of the chair at the end.
Anyone can learn to do. It is calculus. But patience and support for the practice.
Maybe I should upholstered a chair in a thrift store and try to buy first. You can choose to not punishment.
But still, if you want the chair, there is a book that will show you how.
Good luck.
You need a basic pistol and new substances. Tighten the fabric and staple Neath under the seat and back.
There is a great message to the boat so. www.craftster.org
I remember two or three exercises in upholstery. They seemed very thorough and informative.
I've tried to do it myself, but the president was so old, they make a big mess while trying to remove the existing version of dust - anywhere particles of matter.
Good luck, I heard it is not easy.
Maybe you should link to a site that shows the type of chair you renovate. Some parts are easier than others. You will receive (hopefully) more concrete answers.
Note how the old fabric and padding, etc. and have the new tissue in the same way revived.
Well, you do not need experience to do well. Ask store for classes at the local tissue.
Go to The Home Depot
