Freshing Up The Home with New Colors
We purchased this beautiful dining room set off of Craigslist a year ago. It wasn't my dream set but it had a lot of potential. I was really excited when Cat contacted me about trying out Premier Prints fabrics because it finally ment I had the chance to recover these chairs with something more modern and contemporary.

Step 1
Begin by turning your chairs over and carefully removing the screws from the back of your cushions
Step 2
Take this opportunity to whip down your chairs and remove any dust or spills on your chairs.
Step 3
Place your pad on your scrap fabric and make a pattern for your new covers. Make sure to leave about three inches of fabric allowance on all sides.
Step 4
Lay your pattern out onto your fabric and trace around it using tailors chalk. 2 yards of Premier Prints fabric should cover 6 dining room chairs.
Step 5
Press out any wrinkles from your fabric.
Step 6
I originally tried to use a regular staple gun for my project but quickly found that it didn't pack enough punch to get through the board so I had to switch to an electric staple gun.. Fold your fabric over your pad and staple it in place.
Step 7
I began by folding over each side and putting one staple in the center or each side and then I went back around and tightened it up.
Step 8
I stapled the corners last. Making sure I didn't cover the holes where the screws needed to go through.
Step 9
If my fabric did cover the holes I would mark it with a pen so I would know to go back later and cut the fabric. I also knew not to staple through that area.
Step 10
Remove any excess fabric when you are finished.
