My No-Stitch Reupholstering Project
Here’s how I flipped my couch from THIS:
To THIS:
With no sewing necessary!
- I started out by measuring each individual section of the couch, then recording those measurements in a sketch on paper
- I cut fabric pieces out using those recorded dimensions
- I pinned the fabric in place
- I stapled along the edges of each piece. I found it easier to staple into wood than into another piece of fabric, but that may just be the staple gun I used!
- Style with your favorite pillows and grab a good book! 😉
WATCH THE VIDEOs HERE: Part One! AND HERE: Part Two!
Supply list:
You’re going to want REALLY good fabric scissors. You know, the kind that are almost a little TOO sharp and you’re afraid of them. That’s the vibe.
This was my first time using a staple gun and I really liked this one. I used the normal looking staples for my project. The noises are a little scary but just focus on keeping the gun in place as you “fire”.
You’re going to want fabric measuring tape – much better for a project like this than regular measuring tape, which can’t fold to the curves of your furniture.
You’re also going to want a good set of pins to keep your fabric in place before you go about stapling it.
