How to Re-Upholster a Swivel Chair

This is a really easy cheap project that transforms a boring old office swivel chair into something unique and lovely.

Equipment:
An old swivel chair
Enough fabric to cover the back-rest and seat of your swivel chair
Scewdriver
Staplegun

Step 1 Dis-Assemble your Swivel Chair

Both the back-rest and the seat of the swivel chair are probably screwed into the main frame, have a look at your swivel chair and dismantle it. On the one pictured there were two screws holding the backrest in place and four screws holding the seat in place.

Once you have unscrewed the back-rest and seat, you need to take the padded part out of the frame, with this chair it was simplya case of levering the padded part out with a flat-head screwdriver (used as the lever).

Nice job, and exactly what I have been instructed to do by Kitewife.
