Comfort First:
I quickly sanded the chair seat so the glue would penetrate and grip the wood better. I applied masking tape to stop the glue getting on the edges of the seat. The glue I used is Contact Glue. |
The glue was also applied to the foam. |
I removed the masking tape and once glue was tacky I pressed the 2 sides together. |
I added wadding with a staple gun. |
I also added a layer of plain cotton to tidy the wadding and add extra comfort. |
Close up of corners... this took ages to get a tidy look!! |
Finally I added my fabric. |
Done... well nearly... |
I added plain pink cotton to tidy the underside. |
Distressing:
To create the distress look, I first scraped the corners and edges using a stripper tool then sanded those areas using coarser sand paper. This allowed the base coat and some of the wood to come through. I sanded away areas I thought would get naturally worn.
Ta Dahhh...

Final Result! I also waxed the chair to make it smooth and shiny! |
