Isn't she perty? Yet again, the fabric is Ikea. I was gonna just buy a new chair but I've always wanted to reupholster something. I bought a staple gun from woodies for €15, one of the best things I have ever bought. There's no real "how to" for this. The trick is really just to keep it as taut as possible. Around the corners can be a lill tricky. When you end up with too much fabric like this..
...cut off as much as you can and cut out a v shape like this...
..and just overlap the fabric as neatly as possible in a pleat like way, repeat it a few times...
kinda like this..
Look how well it goes in my little craft corner! Ima thinkin' of spraypainting the body of the chair orange but I'll leave that for another day


Awesome! I think I need a staple gun now...
