START BY REMOVING THE SCREWS FROM THE SEAT. PLACE THE SEAT ON A TABLE AND REMOVE THE STAPLES HOLDING THE OLD SEAT FABRIC ON. I FIND IT HELPFUL TO PUT THE OLD STAPLES INTO A BOWL, SO THAT YOU DON’T END UP FINDING ONE IN YOUR FOOT… IT IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A PAIR OF PLIERS NEARBY FOR THE STUBBORN STAPLES… ONCE ALL THE STAPLES ARE OUT, GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THE OLD SEAT FABRIC. NEXT, PLACE THE NEW FABRIC YOU WILL PUT ONTO THE SEAT ON THE TABLE WITH THE “BAD SIDE” FACING UPWARDS. IF YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE, YOU WILL NEED TO MATCH THE PATTERN AS I’M DOING IN THE VIDEO. IF NOT, MEASURE OUT AN AREA LARGE ENOUGH TO COVER YOUR SEAT AND CUT OUT THE NEW FABRIC WITH SHARP SCISSORS. NOW, PLACE THE SEAT IN THE CENTRE OF THE NEW FABRIC. FOLD THE BOTTOM FABRIC UP AND USE STAPLES TO FASTEN IT TO THE SEAT MAKING SURE THE FABRIC IS TIGHT ALL ALONG THE SIDES. NOW STAPLE TO FABRIC ALONG THE TOP OF THE SEAT. ON MY SEAT, I NEED TO CUT OUT TRIANGLES TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO NOT COVER THE HOLES THE SCREWS WILL GO INTO WHEN ATTACHING THE SEAT TO THE CHAIR. GO AHEAD AND ADD SOME MORE STAPLES AS NEEDED. AFTER THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE FASTENED, I LIKE TO FLIP MY SEAT OVER TO MAKE SURE THE FABRIC IS TIGHT AND THERE ARE NO FOLDS OR WRINKLES. GO AHEAD AND STAPLE THE SIDES. NOW THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO GO ALONG WITH A HAMMER AND FLATTEN ANY STAPLES THAT AREN’T FLUSH WITH THE SEAT. FOR THE NEXT STEP, PULL THE FABRIC ON THE CORNERS TIGHT AND PLACE A STAPLE ON EACH SIDE OF THE FOLD POINTING DIAGONALLY TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FABRIC IN THE CORNERS, USE SOME SCISSORS TO TRIM UNNEEDED AMOUNTS AWAY. PULL THE FABRIC IN TOWARDS THE CENTRE AND FASTEN IT TO THE SEAT. REPEAT THIS STEP FOR THE OTHER 3 CORNERS. TAKE YOUR SCISSORS AND GET RID OF ANY FRAYED FABRIC. NOW THAT THE FABRIC IS ON THE SEAT, IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO APPLY A FABRIC PROTECTOR TO THE SEAT TO PROTECT IT FROM ANY SPILLS. DO THIS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. ALLOW THE SPRAY TO DRY. NOW IT’S TIME TO REFASTEN THE REUPHOLSTERED SEAT TO THE CHAIR AND VIEW THE FINAL PRODUCT.
