Crummy to Classy - The story of my bar stools

 Sorry I didn't take a before picture of my bar stools, but lets just say they were not even allowed indoors.  I've had them in the garage (in all of the garages where we have lived) since Chris and I were married.  They were left from college and had lots of 'character'.  I thought of getting rid of them so many times, but never did.  So the other day I decided I needed to either refinish them or trash them.

I used some batting that I originally had purposed to make a blanket, but never did.  I traced the circle shape from the top of the bar stools and cut it out.  I then took the fabric and cut a square that allowed plenty of room for overlap on the sides.


Next, I spray painted the legs of the bar stools.  I lightly glued the batting to the bar stool with FabriTac.  I didn't want to put too much and have hard clumps when you sit on it.




I put the fabric on a table and centered the bar stool on it upside down.  Then, I just gathered up sections of the fabric and used a air compressed staple gun to  adhere the fabric to the underneath of each bar stool.

Easy Peasy!
