Dirty Ol' Desk Chair Re-Vamp



This is about as far as my re-upholstery skills go.  I would like to eventually re-do a cooler-looking, more sturdy chair.  But as for now, this is what I have to work with.  No reason to let it end up in a landfill.

This is just a cheap plastic chair but it works just fine.  The fabric was dirty and just wasn't holding up anymore. Time for an update!

I went to Joann's, picked out a sturdy decorator fabric, and went home to gather my staple gun.  On the back rest, I removed the plastic lip that covered the fabric then removed that icky orange stuff.  The pad was in good shape so I left it and just recovered with the new fabric and stapled away.  Then I put that plastic lip back on and put the chair back together.  Ten minute project and a new chair for just $5 in fabric.
