Do you have good hands? vacation from work? It's time to go to the backyard and start doing the things you promised yourself to do and didn't do. In this case I want to write about upholstery Wooden bar stools. How can we turn the bar stool into something new and cool in that place that is now sitting on the sidelines waiting to be redeemed. 

All in all, we have many reasons why to upholster the bar stools. One of them is that we have chairs that we inherited from our grandmother and we are interested in giving them a new and refreshing look. The upholstery fabric of the chair is no longer fashionable, or the upholstery fabric of the bar stool is torn and worn and the seats already have scratches and stains. The renewal of the chair will bring them back into fashion.

Keep in mind, the working time is longer than usual...

The time it takes to reupholster chairs lasts on average about a week. Of course, it depends on the fabric you choose and the amount of chairs you want to upholster. This is a complicated job, so it is recommended to upholster when you have good hands and you have all the necessary materials for the craft. So if it's worth investing your time, go for it! Because the result is worth it. appearance and comfort of Upholstered bar stool Definitely worth it. 

So, how does it work? What materials do we need? 

  • padding cloth
  • Foam seat cushion
  • spray paint 
  • Scissors 
  • Tape Measure 
  • stapler and staples 
  • Rotary cutter 

Let's get to work: 

Okay, you have all the materials, so now, first thing, you need to go to a fabric store and pick out your favorite upholstery fabric. Upholstery fabric is a special fabric for this purpose because it is thicker. Natural fiber fabrics create less static electricity and are also more comfortable to sit on.

Children are happiness:

Kids plus bar stools plus dinner around the kitchen island, worth dirt. Therefore, if you have children, prefer synthetic fabrics rather than cotton fabrics. They clean more easily. 

Advance preparation: 

Most of the time, the bar stool you want to reupholster is not clean and full of scratches. Therefore, advance preparation is required. Therefore, take a microfiber cloth and soap with warm water and clean it. After it is clean and dry you can start painting your bar stool. Put cardboard under the chair and spray the bar stool with the color of your choice. Apply a layer of paint and wait until completely dry. Then paint again with a second layer.

The upholstery process has three main stages:

Removing the old upholstery. Cutting the outer fabrics and the inner sponge called a foam cushion, to a shape suitable for your bar stool. 
Placing the foam cushion (sponge) on the chair, on which you put the fabric and fasten or sew the fabric to the seat. 

Shhhhhh…. Here are the pads:

Remove the original upholstery of the chair. Clean the area of all kinds of wood shavings.  

After removing the upholstery, at that moment you will discover the old sponge. You can use it again and you can put a new sponge. Note that the sponge fits the size of the chair. If not, you will have to cut it with scissors to the appropriate size. 

Place the sponge inside the cloth. The fabric should be sized to have a margin of about ten inches around the bottom of your bar stool. 

Then, using a stapler, fasten the fabric to the bottom of the chair around the seat. Note that the fabric will be taut. 

Tip: Pin the fabric on opposite sides until the cover is attached and tight.

In the final step, the excess fabric is cut with scissors. 

Second option...

If it's still important to you to update your bar stool and you don't want to spend your time on renovations and innovations and walking around looking for fabrics, you can always go to an upholsterer to upholster the chairs or have the upholsterer just come to your house to take them to the workshop. At the upholsterer you will see the fabrics and according to the condition of the bar stool he will give you a price quote. If the bar stool is in a broken state... and requires a serious repair, this affects the cost of the repair. In a few days your refurbished chairs will be as good as new. 

A third option…

It is not always worth reupholstering the chairs. For example, you can buy a high-quality bar stool for three hundred shekels on average. The upholstering of the chairs, whether we upholster ourselves or whether we send them to be upholstered, will cost us more or less the same amount. So it is recommended to renew with new bar stools.
