What are the basic, beginner-friendly steps to reupholster an old armchair and give it new life?
Reupholstering is a project, but totally doable with patience! The key is working methodically. Here’s the basic flow:
- Prep & Strip: Choose a sturdy chair with simple lines. Start by carefully removing the old fabric from the bottom up, keeping the pieces to use as patterns.
- Cut & Attach: Use the old fabric pieces to cut your new material. Then, work in reverse order to staple and attach the new fabric to the frame, pulling it taut for a smooth finish.
- Final Touches: Reattach any trim, skirts, or legs you removed. A steamer can help remove wrinkles for a professional look.
