No staple gun so we used our regular stapler
One of the arm chairs we bought didn't have a foam piece that fit so we had to ghetto rig this with a little extra felt I had.
No sewing machine so we did the nip tuck safety pin technique. Just wrapped it like a present and pinned away.
This back piece was glued to the chair and there was no way of getting it off without making a bigger mess so we did a little fold over and pinning technique. I figured no one will see the back so why not.
The finished product. We're not winning any Home & Garden awards but its definitely better than what we had.
In a hurry to make our humble abode somewhat presentable for Thanksgiving we did our version of Design on a Dime. Last Saturday we picked up a couple of arm chairs that oddly enough match our existing side chairs that I picked up at another garage sale over a year ago. In an attempt to make them all match we purchased a few yards of discount fabric at Jo Ann's and did our best at recovering them. When I say, "our best", I mean our best with out a staple gun or sewing machine. I do have to say they are a little ghetto because we had to use a regular office stapler and used the good old tuck and fold technique but they should at least get us through Thanksgiving dinner. 5 chairs $15, 6 yards of Fabric $14, 14 safety pins, staples free, uncontrollable laughter while completing this thrifty(ghetto)project, PRICELESS.
