= Do-it-yourself upholstery of chairs =

Preparatory stage

Here is a list of tools and materials that we will need:

• Fabric (chenille, jacquard, tapestry, flock). Before going to the store, you should measure the seat of the chair, adding 15-20 centimeters on each side. This margin is needed for the hem and for the height of the upholstery.
• Filler (sheet foam rubber 40 mm thick, batting, latex, synthetic winterizer). When deciding how to reupholster a chair, we select the appropriate padding. Definitely not suitable polyurethane balls, buckwheat husks and other bulk materials. Nevertheless, the seat of the chair is not as airtight as the pillow, and it experiences considerable loads. After a while, the fine filler will begin to slowly crumble. If foam rubber is chosen for the seat, its density should be 30-50 kg / m 3, otherwise during operation it will sag all the way to the plywood itself.
• Cardboard for patterns.
• PVA glue.
• Furniture stapler and staples (or hammer and furniture studs).
• Pliers.
• Screwdrivers.
• Scissors, tailor's centimeter.
• Pencil, chalk for marking material, ruler.
