Thanks, this helped. I'm planning on doing mine as well, but will probably go an extra step and put better cushioning in my chair as my butt gets sore sitting on my current chair.
Thanks. This was exactly what I was looking for. I had a chair once that I only redid the arms using old satin pajama leg bottoms. Loved it and for the softness too,
It's too bad these chairs get junky after a few years! I wish the "leather" was stronger, or it was easier/cheaper to get them reupholstered. I see so many of these chairs left near the dumpster.
Thank you for posting this. My hubby has acquired a perfectly functional office chair that is a bit of an eyesore, but incredibly comfy. I am looking forward to following in your footsteps. I will pay attn to where the screws are located...
NICE. now i know it is not going to be as hard as I thought. Mine had the PVC falling apart and flaking. I covered everything in black duct tape, but I had some old sheets around, so I will just dye those and start a stapling!
Hey Thanks!! You really do a nice demo. Not too much talkin but Enough that we Get it!! I hate to slur my on Kind but sometimes us broads Talk too Much! Thanks again my chair is exactly the same too!! ✌️
You wrap it just like everything else and then I just stapled on another piece of fabric over top. You do see the staples but if you take your time with the spacing and position it looks fine
Funny I have the exact same chair that has been flaking off the "leather" everywhere. I pulled it apart today and realized my staple gun is broken and the staples were too long anyways... Guess I will continue tomorrow when I get a new staple gun and staples.
Do you think that some of the faux leather material you can find at Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabric etc. would work as well for a project like this? Thanks for posting, your video saved me from throwing out an old chair and instead I'll try to breathe new life into it!
Any suggestions for replacing cushions? My chair is DECADES old, the cushions are completely worn out and I unfortunately can't afford to buy a new chair.
THANK YOU, THIS LOOKS GOOD AND SIMPLE! 💯💯😍
Wow somehow this tutorial managed to be on the EXACT chair im looking to give a facelift, score!
That's awesome! glad I could help
I live for when that happens. Such wonderful luck.
ha, i just watched another video where the guy was working on the exact chair i have, pretty neat
Same! 2 years larer. What luck!
SAME!!!! Lol!!!
I have to recover my old office chair. You have shown a way that can be done by a non-upholsterer like myself. Thank you.
Me too, I gonna redo mine 😊

oh pajamas would be the best!! I'll have to try that next time
That’s a great idea!

Thanks a ton. I am actually planning to replace the fabric on my chair so in a way this video was a bit helpful.

I'm glad I could help. I'd love to see some pictures when you're done :)
Actually super helpful, just about to do this to an old office chair and was wondering how to go about it
Thank you very much I think I'm going to do my chair now nice job dude thank you for putting it on RUclips
Did I miss something I didn’t see the back of chair. Great video, please add the back view
I just stapled the original backing back on it to hid all the extra fabric.
@@BlanchBrothersStudio can you show us how you did that please
I would have picked a different pattern cloth for the chair myself. But you were saving money.
Ya its what I could get at the time. I've since replaced it with leather
oh my gosh thannk u for this vid dude - simple and easy straight to the point
You're welcome
NICE. now i know it is not going to be as hard as I thought. Mine had the PVC falling apart and flaking. I covered everything in black duct tape, but I had some old sheets around, so I will just dye those and start a stapling!
It looks really nice. It actually goes with the space.
Is there anyway you could post up follow up pictures? I’m curious to c how it has held up
Damn. Right on. If that's all there's too it, then I'm gonna do it too. Thanks for the motivation.
You're welcome. I've got another office chair video coming out soon that's more in-depth
Great vid
This video was perfect. I have an old office chair that I want to use in the corner of the guest room.
Dude, touchdown, thanks for sharing!
Hey Thanks!! You really do a nice demo. Not too much talkin but Enough that we Get it!! I hate to slur my on Kind but sometimes us broads Talk too Much! Thanks again my chair is exactly the same too!! ✌️
Thanks for a well done video. Nice work!
Can you show the back rest?
ok... Now where can I send you my chair~ 😁
New side hustle
This is the exact chair I have! I’m curious tho, how did you cover the back? Wouldn’t it show the staples and stuff?
You wrap it just like everything else and then I just stapled on another piece of fabric over top. You do see the staples but if you take your time with the spacing and position it looks fine
Devin's Art Studio thank you! 😁
Cool my kind of dyi! Thanks!!
Thanks for the idea!
2:45 really close call
Can you show us how you remove the back of the top on the chair please
I've just been given an old worn chair that looks the same kind as yours, I can't wait to have a go at recovering it.
Me: why are office chairs so expensive??
This video
Me thinking about the old chair in the office: I think I'm about to Stew
how did you removed the arm / handles ?
Why don't you use the leftover flowery cloth for your handles as well?
I could have but the gray cloth was much softer/ more comfortable
I have a chair just like that thank you I will do that
The power stapler tool that you are using seems to be very study, what would you recommend for a new user, with minimal affordable price?
You can get a manual staple gun for 10 or 12 bucks... just make sure you buy HEAVY DUTY staples that fit the gun you buy
Funny I have the exact same chair that has been flaking off the "leather" everywhere. I pulled it apart today and realized my staple gun is broken and the staples were too long anyways... Guess I will continue tomorrow when I get a new staple gun and staples.
Ya somehow this chair is really popular. Good luck on your project. If you send me some pics I can put em in pt 2
Ive had this chair for 4 or more years i should probably just buy a new one lol
Do you think that some of the faux leather material you can find at Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabric etc. would work as well for a project like this? Thanks for posting, your video saved me from throwing out an old chair and instead I'll try to breathe new life into it!
ya faux leather would totally work!
I want to take off the old material though because i rescued the chair.
If the chair needs new upholstery, then it should also need new cushion material (foam).
Not necessarily. Depends on the condition of the foam.
What type of stapler & staples did you use ??
Bostich air gun with heavy gauge staples
Nice, but damn, what a horrible fabric that will get dirty in 3 weeks! Why didn't use someting dark or black?
Cause im poor and it was on sale :)
Did you notice he darn near took a chunk out of his hand? a word to the wise, those small knifes can be dangerous.
Safety first! Always
U didn’t explain how to do the back
I assumed that reupholstering would mean u would take off all the old material and replace it
Any suggestions for replacing cushions? My chair is DECADES old, the cushions are completely worn out and I unfortunately can't afford to buy a new chair.
You can buy new foam fill or you can cut up an old couch
Buy faux leather at Walmart for around $6-$7 a yard.
that was easy
My dude! Glad I found this video. I was about to start stitching. That woulda been a sht show
glad I could help. hand stitching is no fun
Good tutorial, but that fabric...I think it gave me a seizure.
Eh...it was cheap. :)
I use a pair of socks for the arm rests!
Thats awesome!!
How u did to get off the arm?
Your chair might be different, but on my chair there are 4 screws on the side that screw into the seat and backrest.
How much fabric did you use all together?
I think it was only half a yard, but I don't remember exactly
@@BlanchBrothersStudio Thanks
@@Arrietta1977 1 1/2 yards for seat and back of chair!
Can you do it for me?
Probably...where do you live
Nice video tyty. Fabric ugly hehe but hey as long u happy.
Did you not make some underpants out of the remaining material? What a waste!
No I did not, but I still have the fabric in my pile of scraps
0:19 cutie ^_^
🤦🏻♂️
The fabric you chose could not be any uglier lmao
The difference between your music volume and your narration volume is terrible and the music is painfully loud.
Sorry about that. This is one of my first videos and I didn't know what I was doing yet
This isn't really a How-To video since you don't give any real instructions, amount of fabric needed, or show all the steps.
This shouldn't be the reccomended video. There's no info on the backrest. At least change the title.
Good work, bad taste.
That’s looks crappy!!
Is this what a gay person would use for fabric?
No
This a joke? This isn't reupolstrey
it looks better than it did before doesnt it?
@@CAFcorey Yes, in the same way that cutting your eyes out would make it look better than before.
@@mcwotty8670 Ya can't look without your eyes dummy
Are you the king of reupholstery? Hmm? What? No, didn't think so.
