DIY Dining chairs - finally finished them!

I can't believe I finished all the 8 chairs! I thought I will be buying my dining chairs. I am very happy and proud of myself for finishing every single project that I started for my dining room.

See how I finished my chairs:

- Start by putting the webbing as shown.

-Add X webbing.

-Add more horizontally.
made two of this particular chair very strong for the king of the house :)

-Attach 1 inch foam (two inch for the seat)

-Then the batting.

Back view.

- For the seat cover corner, cut the corner as shown.

-Sew.

The clean corner look.

Do the same with the bigger chair.



- For the back cover, cut slits.

-Tuck the middle part in.

- Staple.

- Fix the back corner by tucking the side and fold over the middle part to get this look.

-Use decorative tacks to attach the lower back of the cover.

 - And the front part for stronger hold.

Put the back cover using hidden metal tacks strip.


-Make the buttons for the large chair as directed on the package of the button maker.


- Mark where to put the buttons.

- Put buttons using nylon thread.

-Use scraps for the back to prevent the thread from going through.

It's that easy and you got your cute buttons!

- Put decorative tacks on the lower side if desired.

    1. For all eight chairs, I remember looking at all my receipts (after Lowe's and Hancock Fabric) totaling around $275 (Wood and finish not included as I already have them).

  4. What a beautiful and professional looking job you did on the chairs! Seriously, it would be costly to have these chairs covered other than doing them yourself. BRAVO on such a nicely done project. They look really nice in your room, too. If I can do half as good on the chair I am attempting to do now, I will be happy.

  5. I can find the directions for upholstering the chairs but not for the chairs themselves. Did you build the chairs too and if so, do you have directions? They look great!

The common rule of thumb is that dining tables are roughly 30 inches tall, and chair seats need to be roughly 20 inches from the floor to allow enough lap space. dining table and chair sets
