  • How to make a chair. Renew An Old Chair - Step 1
    Step 1

    Find an old chair!
    I found mine at St. Vincent De Paul for $5. It was chipped in a few places but that doesn't matter it can be fixed.

  • Step 2

    The most important step is to prep the surface!
    You must sand down the entire chair until a smooth and even surface forms.

  • Step 3

    After sanding fill in any gaps or chips with wood filler and allow 2-3 days to dry.

  • Step 5

    After the wood filler has dried the painting can begin!
    I used 2 coats of primer and 1 coat of white paint.
