Okay, so here is the first before picture!

I bought these chairs at an estate sale in San Diego about 4 years ago. And they looked liked this till about 6 months ago.

I took them apart and used the fabric as a pattern.

Then I made yellow piping and the chairs looked like this….

Then my sister came to visit and told me they made her hungry for Mexican food.

Soooo!

Now the chairs look like this!

I did a flat braided jute around the top and a pre-made jute piping around the bottom.

I bought both of the different jutes at Walmart. And, yes I hot glued it on. That IS what the pro’s do just so ya know. Some lady laughed when I told her I used hot glue….go talk to your local upholster if you are unsure what to do in any part of the process of redoing your chairs. They are usually more than happy to share some trade secrets and help you out.

I think it looks MUCH BETTER!
