Trash to Treasure

Giving garbage new life.

I saw this chair in the alley by someone's dumpster, I wanted it but I drove by it for a week before I finally asked Cory to go get it for me. Thank goodness for him! Thank goodness it was still there.

Here's a quick "how to" for you.

 I spray painted it turquoise.

Supplies: Foam to create a seat and material to cover. 

I removed the seat. 

I cut 2 pieces of foam to the size of the wooden seat and then glued then all together with Fabric-tac. I chose to use two foams together as it was less expensive than buying one thicker piece.

I cut my material and then wrapped it around my seat and stapled it in place.

For the corners, I folded them like a present and then stapled the fabric as before.

I put the seat back on. (It's not perfect and that's just fine by me- I'm not looking a the bottom.)

We tested it out and put it in it's new home.

I love it! 

Got any good junk in your alley?
