So....I'm not finished yet with my antique chair redo seen here, (only!!) due to supply hold ups, UGH! I searched high and low for a pneumatic staple gun (because that is the only thing that would go through the wood of the chair) and finally ordered one online. Like a little kid waiting at the window.....I finally saw the mail lady! I knew it wouldn't take me long to get them finished once she came. I knew that the stapler didn't come with staples, but really didn't think that it would be a problem to get them at the hardware store. Well, after a trip to Home Depot, then Sears, then Lowes, and ever where I could look locally online......nothing! I had to order them and of course it was a holiday weekend :( They were shipped out yesterday, so HOPEFULLY I will have pictures of a FINISHED project this weekend!
(I cut the foam)
(covered it with batting and cotton)
this is also when I realized that I had the wrong staple gun
(picked out a cool fabric)
(it will obviously go on the back to0)
(cord for the welt....or piping....whatever it's called)
(not too bad for a first timer, huh?)
(ready to see these finished!!!)
Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see each transformation !!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Should have called us about the gun. We have one. I have a chair that you could have to redo if you want.
