  Step 1

  If possible remove the seat and back from your chair.

• 

  Step 2

  Decide what maps you are going to use and cut them out to fit your chair back and seat.

• 

  Step 3

  Cover the seat and chair back with PVA glue (or modge podge), and stick down your maps. Trim any excess.

• 

  Step 4

  Paste two coats of PVA glue on top of the map seat and back, letting it dry between coats. This will protect your chair, you can also cover with acrylic varnish (or yacht varnish) to further waterproof the chair.

• 

  Step 5

  Screw the seat and back on to the frame to finish.

Do you have to be very genital with the chair or can you be ruff with it? I'm trying to ask if it you have to treat it really genital so you don't mess up the maps?

I use my chairs everyday and they still look really good. As long as you give them a top coat of varnish or glue that should protect them.
