Do-it-yourself adorable chair!

Okay, so more like "do-it-yourself with the help of your little sister and odd looks from neighbors," but hey, this was a fun project... and it turned out adorable! Now I actually want to practice my cello just so I can use my newly beautified chair!


I first saw this project on Pinterest (ahhh, so addicting!), and I immediately thought of my nasty old fold-up chair that I sit on to play my cello. Unfortunately I didn't take a before picture, but I'm sure you can imagine the former ugliness!

Easy project -- all you need is some spray paint and about 1/2 of a yard of fabic. Crazy or classy! Although I have to admit, my old-man veteran neighbor thought I was crazy for "wasting paint on a chair." He had to come over and look at the spectacle up close (I spray painted it in my front yard)! He then proceeded to talk non-stop to Dani and I for about 30 minutes. (He's a talker... it's okay though -- he's hilarious and has good stories!)



So, the project instructions that I saw on Pinterest involve actually removing the seat cushion and re-covering it. However, this was impossible with my chair, so Dani and I resorted to shoving the fabric through with a butter knife. Yes, butter knives can be used for more than just butter! So if you don't want to completely remove the seat/cushion, try this technique AFTER spray painting the frame of the chair.

This project was very easy & cheap!! About $3 for a can of spray paint and $3 or $4 for the fabric... and it's SO cute! Now I have a cute "cello corner" in my room instead of that nasty old chair!!
