  • See how I upholstered this $25 bench from an estate sale that I bought about 4 years ago but had left unfinished for YEARS! Like many projects, it sat unfinished, until one of my favorite sponsors Arrow Fastener wanted to see what I could create with their T50X TacMate stapler. This upholstered bench was the perfect project to complete! See how I reupholstered this old bench into something that my whole family actually thought looked pretty good! :) Now I just need to find a place for it in my house....LOL. #ad #madewitharrow

    I like the way you just get it done and not worry too much about the precision. Too many times i don't start a project because i get mired down in the research and get overwhelmed. Thanks!

    Hi 👋,
    My names Olivia, I’m twelve years old, and my dream job is to fix furniture! I found You channel and I think this is the 9th Video I’ve binge watched (Oops) I Just want to say you are such an inspiration 🙂

      Awww, hey there, Louise! So glad you found my channel! I've got an 11-year-old son. I wish he were as interested as you in fixing furniture! If you were my daughter, I'd put you to work, right along side of me. :) Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching my videos, sweetie. :)

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  6 лет назад +2

      Hi, Karen! I couldn't believe that I had the fabric on hand, too! I had bought it years ago from New York, like maybe 6 years ago, and I just hoarded it. I almost through it out earlier this year (donated it, that is), but hubby went into the donation pile and salvaged it without my knowledge. LOL. So the other day I was like, "Oh man, I need fabric ASAP!!" And he pulled out the stash he salvaged. How perfect was that?? :) Thank you!

    • @KarenPrudensLetsStitchMakeup
      @KarenPrudensLetsStitchMakeup 6 лет назад +2

      Way to go hubby! That turned out great that he did that. When stuff happens like that with my husband and I we always say that's why were are made for each other, lol. The other one has your back even when you don't realize they do! Awesome job on the bench its beautiful. :-)

  • @miml9280
    @miml9280 6 лет назад

    do you always need to do a trim when rehupolstering(spelling?)? I want to try to rehupolster an old chair.of mine, its brown and green and I would love to give it an updated look.

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  6 лет назад +1

      Not ALWAYS, but it really depends on the chair. Most times the trim is applied to cover the staples.
