Dining room chair upholstery. how to upholster corners. how to do corners on seats.
Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors

I’ve been recovering chair pads for years but when I decided to switch from fabric to a leather look vinyl (because of grand kids), I happened upon your UA-cam channel. Using a hair dryer is a clever trick to softening and reducing pleats….thanks so much for the tutorial!!!!
Hi Bryan! I’m so glad you found the tip useful, it’s been a life saver for me! Thanks for watching!!
@FaceLiftInteriors I'm a so called professional, and I never thought of doing this in my years at the job. With heavier or thicker materials, I just pulled harder. All through my apprenticeship and everyday part of the job . I will give it whirle.
I am really liking the way you teach how you upholster the seats, step by step , as I have autism and its great the way you explain things
Hi Chris! Thank you so much, I’m so glad you find the videos helpful 👍🏻
Yes me too
Hi Chris, just to let you know our online upholstery training academy is now live www.thefaceliftacademy.com we hope to see you over there!! 😊🙏🏻

I find that a ducks opinion of me is highly influenced in whether or not I have bread
Thanks to this video I've just completed reupholstering 6 dining room chairs. The seat foam was so old that it had become powdery so I renewed that too by following what was already there: a 12" square of foam with a larger piece on top covering the whole seat, giving a very good dome! I then followed this video's lead by adding in the layer of Dacron before covering with the vinyl leather effect fabric. The resulting seats are very comfortable.
Not having a fancy air staple gun I used a manual office staple gun! A bit more work but does the job! Any staples that don't go fully in can be finished off with a few taps from a small hammer.
One thing I noted is that this video's technique of running your hand up over the seat to help stretch the material is absolutely vital to getting the corners right. If you don't have enough tension in the sides, you'll not be able to pull the corners tight.
Anyway, thanks for a superb video!
Hi Jered! I’m so glad you found the video helpful with finishing your dining seats. Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a helpful comment for other viewers, it’s really appreciated 😊👍🏻
How much material do I need for 6 chairs?
Hey! Just to let you know our online upholstery training academy is now live www.thefaceliftacademy.com we hope to see you over there!! 😊🙏🏻
Your pads are almost identical to my chairs, so this video was extremely helpful. The has helped me understand the corner aspect. The hair dryer trick is the bomb. I was afraid I would not be able to do this, but now I am much more hopeful.
Ah I’m glad you found the video helpful Susan! Let me know how you get on with your seat pads 😊👍🏻

Did I miss what the air compressor was used for?
The air compressor is attached to a hose and then attached to the staple gun. It helps to fire the staples in 👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors thank you!
Omg... the editing of this vid is giving me anxiety! However, good info on measuring...that is aa far as I was able to make it... 4:29
Glad it helped! 🙏🫡
Very informative and helpful! Anxiety city watching u staple that fast and that close to your fingers though lol

Hi there, what an excellent tutorial and the icing on the cake was the use of the hairdryer for vinyl. Quick question, what is the make and model of the Compressor and the Stapler/Nail gun, please? Thanks. 😀
Hi there, many thanks indeed.
The compressor is a Bambi Pt40 and the staple gun is a Tacwise long nose Gun. I prefer BEA guns nowadays but they are a fair bit more expensive. 👍🙏✂️🧵📐⛏️📎

Do you have any tips on how to make a solid seat for upholstered chairs? I bought a table and chair set and i like the chairs but dont want the cushion. I have cats and i just hate cleaning them and they need to be stripped anyway.
Send me some pictures and I'll try and see if I can guide you! Either email or Instagram! 👍😁✂️📐🧵⛏️
@@faceliftinteriors awesome!! Thank you. :-)
Could you please make an English voice over for this nice video? It does sound a bit like English, but I can't really place it.
It’s English…I’m from London 🤣
@@faceliftinteriors Well, being from London doesn't necessarily mean you speak English. I used to go to some fantastic fish and chips joint in London and couldn't understand a word from what those guys were saying - but the taste was out of this world. You don't sound like a Londoner, mate, where are you from, anyway? You sound a bit like an Irish. Wild guess - Manchester? Hull?
Hey there, nice vid! wondering what kind of staple gun you're using? thnx!
I use a BEA 71/16. Standard upholstery staple gun.
Tacwise do a much cheaper option. Hope this helps ⛏️ 🧵 📎 📐 ✂️ 👍

I think it's 6oz dacron but you could also use 4 or 9. Hope this helps 🙏 🧵✂️📎📐⛏️

Is it necessary to have a hole drilled in the bottom of the wood base if you are using fabric and not vinyl?
Not not all always necessary. Depends if the foam and fabric can breathe. 👍🧵📎📐✂️⛏️

Fantastic tutorial once again. Absolutely love your way of teaching.

thanks for sharing this info very helpful, PS if you do any cloth covers on dining seat pads would like to see that as well, I realise the only difference are the corners but still would be good to watch. I have 4 very old oak dining chairs in the middle of restoring PPS my seat bases are bowed this is part of the original design

My antique chair pads have sharp corners rather than rounded. They sit down inside the frame of the chair. How can I make a nice corner using woven fabric, considering the sharp corner?
Hi Kim! I would make a small pleat in the fabric either side of the corner - I hope this makes sense!
I thought the Ramsey impression was pretty good. Guess I'm too American. Nice tutorial.

Brilliant video. That staple gun is ace! You are exceptionally good at your job, mate.
Would a hand held stapler from toolstation be any good for doing this level of upholstery?
Thanks Buddy, much appreciated. Short answer is no, I get a lot of comments about people trying to use handhelds and not having enough power. You can pick up a compressor for about £100 nowadays, don't waste your money on an electric or handheld! Many thanks for watching! 👍😁⛏️🧵📐✂️

Hi from the USA
I am reupholstering chair pads. They have hogs hair/horse hair for padding. I am a beginner….
I have watched your video many times. The chair was originally covered in a green vinyl. Someone went over it with a tan vinyl. I removed all the staples but am now not sure what to do. Should I keep the original stuffing and vinyl and just cover it in new vinyl ?
Hi there! I wouldn’t recommend covering over the top of old vinyl but it can be done. It just has to be pulled really tight, which is hard to do as the new vinyl will slip on the old vinyl. Horse hair can be replaced with foam - however the traditional upholsterers wouldn’t be happy but that is also an option if you don’t want to replace the hair. Hope this helps 😊👍🏻

Thank you so much!! 😊
What size staple gun and staples do you use ?
The Gun is a Bea 71/16 staple gun and the staples range from 71/06 to 71/14. I would personally use 08 or /10 for this job.

Thanks for the video and the info. Superb. What dimensions are your bench please? I see fabric is 140cm wide normally so I guess bench needs to be significantly wider? Also what kind of depth is required to allow you to roll fabric out and have plenty space to work? Many thanks. Stuart, Glasgow.

Thank for showing these step by step progress, I had the hardest time reupholstering my office chair that I had bought here in the US but, made in china. Great small office for my music studio room which is 7' x 9' room so I couldn't fit a regular gaming chair like I would had love too. So the chair was super hard like if, I was sitting on a brick my butt would hurt after 10 min of sitting on it. anyways I did however reupholstered the seat with a 4" foam couching that also has a 2" memory foam on it too. I didn't know about the Dacron or about the hair dryer that would have made a big difference in the look of my chair. However I still have to reupholster our dining set chair pad that are exactly like the ones you did, so I should be doing a better job on them. Thank you again!! Great Video.
Many thanks for your kind words brother! Good luck with your chairs, I'm sure you will be great! 👍✂️⛏️📎🧵

Why don't you show "How to recover the backs of dining chairs"?
Hi Carol, these dining chairs only had the seat pad and no backs but I will be making a video in the next few weeks showing the backs too 😊
What's the best psi for stapling vinyl? I read somewhere that too high (above 70psi?) will ruin the material.
Hi there! Most upholstery guns usually need between 70-100psi otherwise the staples struggle to go into the wood. If you find it’s too much - you can always pull the gun back a bit.

The black material you add at the end. What is that called? Have you a link to find it online? Thanks in advance.
Hi Brendan! It’s called bottoming fabric. I don’t unfortunately as I get mine from a fabric supplier but have a quick Google, they’re pretty easy to find. Hope this helps!

Brilliant video. Thanks. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber. 😀. Very informative on the way to do corners. Would the same technique work with real leather?
Thank you so much!! 😊🙏🏻 it will be a bit harder with leather but it should work with the same technique.
Yes it would.
Thanks for the content! Keep it up, very informative!

Thanks so much! Have 6 dining chairs with vinyl covering just like you show to do. EDIT: finished first one. heating the vinyl on the corners was a great idea. Worked like a charm.

U do ramsy well.. enjoyed that
Haha thanks! 🤣
I know you make it look easy because your experience, but isn't the hard I imagined it. I was scared of trying to do it by myself, but with your explanations I feel less terrified XD. Anyways, the chairs I want to reupholser were meant to throw away. If it turns well, nice; if not, the trash is always there
These dining pads really aren’t hard once you know how, you’ll do great! It’s a great piece to start off with if you’ve never upholstered before too. You’ve got this!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊🙏🏻

Do you ever recover seat pads using traditional horse hair?
No, but you could. Its cheaper to just slap a bit of foam on. 🙏⛏️⛏️📐✂️
I just found you today. Exactly the tutorial I was looking for.
Glad you found me! Thanks for watching 😊🙏🏻

Great vid, thanks, learnt a lot. That staple gun is awesome. Wondering if the hairdryer technique would work for leather too?
Hi Christopher! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. It does work on leather too - it doesn’t stretch quite as much as the vinyl but it definitely makes it more malleable.

Did I miss the measurements of the top/bottom (lining) fabric that hides all the staples?
Hi! You didn’t miss it - I don’t think I specified the measurements for the bottoming fabric in the video! If you cut the bottoming fabric the same size as you cut the fabric, then you know you’ll have enough. Make sure you tuck the edges under to give a nice clean finish. Thanks for the comment 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors awesome, thank you so much! I have a bad habit of walking into the room and saying what I need before I say hello, my apologies! What I should have said first before I asked my question... Thank you very much for an informative and detailed video. The hair dryer trick is awesome. This is exactly what I needed.
Haha no problem at all! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment - it’s really appreciated 😊
