In a few short steps, the stool will become a stylish piece of furniture that not only looks chic but is also comfortable. The new look stool will find its place in even the smallest room – as an eyecatcher and an ideal seat when friends drop in unexpectedly.
What you will need:
-
an old stool
-
sandpaper, if needed, and metallic spray paint (gold or copper)
-
fur or especially fluffy fabric
-
screwdriver
-
scissors, e.g. pink, Novus Colour ID
-
hand tacker, e.g. Novus J-13 and fine wire staples A6 – 10 mm depending on fabric thickness
Here’s how in easy steps:
Detach the seat from the frame.
With a metal stool, it is quite easy to detach the seat from the frame using a screwdriver. If you wish, roughen the frame a little with the sandpaper and then spray it with metallic paint (preferably outdoors; protect clothing and surrounding area from the spray).
Cut the fur/fabric to the right size.
Now cut the fur or fabric to size for the seat. Allow approx. 5 to 10 cm extra around the edge in addition to the size of the seat.
Tip: Tip: It is best to lay the seat on top of the fur and draw a circle around it, adding 5 to 10 cm, then cut it out.
Fasten the fur to the underneath of the seat using a tacker.
Next, fasten the piece of fur all around to the underneath of the seat using the hand tacker.
Put the stool back together again.
Then screw the frame and seat back together with the screwdriver.
Caution: First make sure the metallic spray paint is dry.
Quick and easy, chic and cosy.
