Covering cushions on a bench or chair is a fairly simple thing to do and can make a huge impact to a space. I recently had a friend ask if I could re-cover the cushions she had on her chairs at her kitchen table and I was happy to oblige. All you need is:
Quality scissors (to best insure a straight line and limited fraying)
Staple Gun
Staples (obviously but thought I would share)
Fabric of your choice & cushions
Outdoor fabric is great because it's extra durable and for a space like a kitchen table it will get it's usage. Also, i recommend treating it with a scotch guard or similar treatment to help keep stains at bay.
Here's some pics to walk you through. Enjoy!!!
Step 1: Cut fabric to correct size, I like at least 2 inches excess on each side to assure the space to pull it tight enough.
Step 2: Begin by stapling in the middle of the side you start on and I move from either side after to ensure it stays centered.
Step 3: Repeat on all four sides and corners.
Step 4: Once complete, trim off the excessive fabric, hammer in any staples if needed and voila!
