DIY Craze: Updating some tables and chairs

After giving my coffee cups a mini facelift with the gold spray paint, I decided to put this magical spray to use and transformed my plain black table to a gold glass table!.

Who knew $6.00 will create such a difference, after 2 spray bottles my table was done. Next I needed to update my plain & basic Ikea chairs.

Unlike my quick weekend table project. This lovely project took me about 3 weeks to finish, mainly because of work and I gave up a couple times.. I finally finished and couldn’t be happier.

The chairs are super cute and look amazing with my Gold & Glass table.

I updated my chairs for under $40.

-          4 yards of Fabric $12.00

-          2-Primer $3 each

-          White paint $10

-          Fluffly filling $3 ( I seriously forgot the name but I found this in Walmart in the crafts section)

-          Thumb tacks $2

-          Heat and bond strips $2

-          Glue gun ( I already had this)

1.First I primed the chairs (this was seriously a must, one can covered 2 chairs) I tried painting a chair without primer, worst idea ever.

It took more paint and time to paint the chair without primer.

I let the primer set over night and the next day I painted the chairs.

2.Next I measured and cut the fabric to fit the chairs, I used the heat and bond strips on the ends to fold them in.

3.Place the fabric over the chair, and fill it in with the fluffy filling. I attached the fabric to the chair on one side and the back before starting to fill in the cushion.

I used the thumb tacks every 2” and used the glue gun in the center as well as the edges where you fold the fabric.

After the second chair and a few glasses of wine this was easier and I finished the last chair in less than 20mins.

I will  definitely re-do my chairs again, especially for less than $10 a chair!... seriously best makeover ever!!.
