Materials: - Old piece of furniture - butter knife (totally professional tool I know - but it works!) - flat-head screw driver - pliers - staple gun - hammer - sewing machine - regular and zipper foot - seam ripper - upholstery fabric - plastic piping - iron I'm not a pro at this by any means (in fact this was my first attempt), but here's what worked: The basic rule of thumb is that you work one section at a time, take off the old fabric in whole pieces, then use those pieces as a pattern for your new pieces. Pay attention to how things come off - because you'll put the new pieces back on the same way. 1) Remove Staples: Starting from the bottom of the furniture, remove the staples using your butter knife, flat-head screw driver, and pliers (safety goggles are a good idea). Remove bottom covering (keep aside until later), and release the rest of the fabric from the bottom of the furniture frame. 2) Remove Fabric Section: In this case I began by loosening the side sections and removed the back piece of fabric from the chair frame (put aside with metal stretchers), and then removed the lower-front section of fabric, saving any pieces of piping that also had to come off. If any piece is sewn directly onto the furniture, you may need a seam ripper to release it. 3) Iron Out Old Fabric Section & Trace: Once I had the fabric piece removed I ironed it flat, and then traced it out exactly onto my new fabric. Cut out new fabric piece. (If you're using patterned fabric - make sure you have your piece in line with the direction of the fabric pattern before cutting it out) 4) Attach New Fabric Piece: Place new fabric piece on furniture frame in place of the old one and sew/ staple to frame in the same manner as the old one. 5) Repeat with other sections:After replacing the lower-front piece, I worked on the sides next. In this case the side pieces consisted of 1 whole jacket composed of several pieces sewn together. I removed the entire jacket and used my seam-ripper to detatch the pieces from one another. Then I ironed each piece out, traced it out onto my new fabric, sewed them back together in the same way, replaced the jacket onto the side of the chair and stapled into position on the frame. ************************************************** Piping: To make piping: 1) Remove plastic piping from old fabric sleeve (if piping cannot be re-used, cut a new piece of piping to the same size). 2) Cut a piece of new fabric long and wide enough to make a new sleeve for the piece of piping. Fold in half lengthwise and iron to crease. Sew sleeve just narrow enough to fit piping snuggly. 3) Insert piping. 4) Sandwich between right sides of fabric pieces with piping on the inside - raw edge to the outside and pin in place. 5) Sew pieces together using a zipper-foot on your sewing machine. ********************************************************* After I completed the sides, I repeated the process with the upper-front section, and then the back piece. ************************************************************* Using Fabric Stretchers: Again the rule here is put it back on the way it was, so take careful note when you pull it off. Position fabric stretchers on back side of fabric pointy side down, and poke through material. Fold fabric over, position on frame firmly (right side up) and hammer in, stretching fabric across the back. *********************************************************** 6) Replace Bottom Covering: Staple bottom covering onto furniture frame the way it was - tucking in any loose ends. 7) Enjoy your "new" furniture!

Pin7.8kFacebook17Share11 So you painted your furniture. You even like the way it turned out. But it seems to be missing something. It looks good… but you know it could be better. Time to dress it up. There are multiple products out there that can help with this. From tissue paper to wallpaper, stencils to gold leaf. Your options are many. But today I’m going to talk to you about decor transfers. There are many brands available today for you to choose from. I recently painted an antique armoire in a bright, vibrant color using Dixie Belle Paint products in Flamingo and Fluff. The colors were blended together for a one of a kind finish. The paint finish was very pretty but I wanted to take it to the next level… a little extra if you will. 🙌🏼 In comes decor transfers by Redesign With Prima. I chose a design called Rose Celebration because the colors complimented my paint finish so well. I mean… It’s like they were meant for one another! Decor transfers come in different styles and sizes to fit your needs. This particular design comes in 6 pieces to make the application process easier. It can get a little cumbersome trying to hold and apply one large sheet. The transfer will come with instructions and a little wooden applicator stick to rub the transfer onto your piece of furniture (or whatever you decide to put it on. Hint: it can be applied to multiple surfaces). And speaking of multiples… you can actually use the designs on multiple projects at times. This particular transfer was used on two different pieces of furniture because I cut and applied sections where I saw fit as opposed to applying the whole design. I do this a lot. Once you remove your transfer from the cylinder it comes in, it’s a good idea to lay it out and see which sections go where. You also want to make sure your piece of furniture is ready for the transfer. This means having a smooth, clean surface to apply it to. After you complete your paint finish, you want to make sure you sand it smooth with a 320 or 400 grit sandpaper to remove any lumps and bumps that could cause adhesion problems for your transfer. Don’t forget to dust afterwards. Transfers come in three parts. A clear front, the design itself, and a paper backing. The transfer should be printed on to the clear front. When you’re ready to apply it, line it up on your project of choice and slowly start to peel the paper backing away from the clear front. Again, your design should remain on the clear front. Depending on the size of the piece you’re working with and your confidence level, you can either remove the whole backing at once… or you can peel it back in small sections for more control. Press the clear front with the design to your project. Gently rub/press so it sticks. Try not to remove it once you’ve laid it down as it may stick causing damage when you lift it back up. You can use tape if you’d like to hold the piece in place and prevent moving. Next, use your stick provided by Prima to rub over the clear front. This will cause the design to let lose from the front and be pressed securely onto your project. It takes a good bit of rubbing and you will definitely get an arm workout in. I gently lift the clear front up as I’m rubbing with the stick. You can see if the design is staying on your project or still sticking to the clear front. Keep rubbing if it’s the later. Continue doing this while peeling back the clear front until you’ve rubbed all of the design image off of the clear front and onto your project. You’ve done it! Great job. Now… time to do the other 5 sheets. 😂It’s tedious and a bit time consuming but so worth the effort when you’re able to take a project from drab to dramatic.
