HOW TO REUPHOLSTER A DINING CHAIR | UPHOLSTERY FOR BEGINNERS | DIY FURNITURE | FaceliftInteriors
Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors
already on it :)
I have un-upholstered dining chairs similar to these. I like how you took off the wooden seat and replaced with webbing. Much softer seared feel I’m sure. Great idea! I will also watch my back rails. I may need to remove some and replace with webbing. Webbing for the win! Lol
Hell yes!!! Good luck in your work! 😊🙏✂️🧵📐⛏️
God that's a lot of material and work for one chair. It's not as easy as ome would think to do this. I just started an upholstery course. Great work man
Yea definitely a lot more work goes into it than people think. Thank you! Good luck with your upholstery course 👍🏻
Brilliant video
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
Disturbingly you are the last thing I see pretty much every night 😆 amazing videos - can’t really thank you enough - the work you put in your videos are second to none - and it shows in the end result - I am self taught - been doing upholstery full time for about 6 months and without your videos I wouldn’t be as far along as I am - A humble wish would be more leather projects - but really just wanted to let you know how amazing it is that your make these videos
That’s really flattering, thank you Dennis 🤣 so glad you find the videos helpful! I’m also mostly self taught too, started off just by watching the professionals do their thing and then learnt more through doing it myself and making lots of mistakes along the way! So I wanted to make these videos in hopes to pass on my knowledge to someone else eager to learn 😊
you could just go ahead and make the leather projects and then try to find a buyer? idk how the industry works but I'd be all over it 👀 hahaha
Which nail gun are you using ?
Upholstery staple gun. Look at our tools video which has all links to tools ✂️⛏️📐🧵👍
Should we take the existing layers for sure? Cant we put a layer just on top ?
Depends on the state of the original foam. Don't take it off if you don't need to. I took all this off to show how bad the original manufacturing was. 📎✂️🧵📐👍
This is crazy. You replaced a solid piece of board in the seat with flimsy bands/straps??? Why would you do that? I really don't get this type of construction - instead of using a solid base you folks go for straps ... the foam is there for cushioning, there is no need for the straps.
Clearly an upholsterer I see 🙄
W💚W! I am absolutely amazed by your level of skill and craftsmanship! A1👌🏾 I love that pattern! Bravo💐
Wow thanks that's so kind. 🙏😊✂️🧵🧷
Really appreciate your support 🙏
Thanks for all your videos, it's great to know someone who is self taught has done so well 💖
On another note, I'm shocked to see just how badly these chairs are actually made, a fascinating look at how we can only improve them Great job and keep the videos coming, I'm learning loads from you ☺
Hi Angie! That’s really kind, thank you. They definitely cut corners when mass producing furniture! Glad you find the videos helpful, more to come 😊👍🏻
I've gone through a test process for one of my 8 chairs. Wow , these pros make it look so easy. I had issues with flaring the corners to cutting out for the legs. And not pulling equal tension on fabric!!
Happy to help if you need advise. 👍☺️📐📌🪡🧵✂️
Thanks. I must have watched this one over 200 times.@@faceliftinteriors
This is absolutely Stunning! I wish I had these for my dining room!
Thanks Amber!!
Are there any gloves to wear when doing all this..especially the sharp things
Yes gloves are good for when stripping out! 🙏📐📎✂️⛏️🧵
So how much fabric do you need for each chair. Length and width
2-3m per chair.
Loving your expert craftsmanship. That green cloth though, I could imagine that with more conservative cloth and your workmanship that would look stunning. I can just imagine the customers for that chair though. Horses for courses. Well done on the video, it was fantastic.
Thanks very much dude! Much appreciated for the support 🙏 🙌 😊
I’m screamingggggg 😝😝😝 he beat that chair up like it owed him money 💰
🤣🙈
I am going to give it a try.... in the future I would like to avoid junk furniture, but this is a great service to keep furniture from ending up in the junk yard. Thank you! wish me luck
Many thanks and good luck!!!👍🧵⛏️✂️📎📐
Brilliant - have you written a book?
Thanks Anthony! I haven’t no, but I’ve just launched an online upholstery training academy if you fancied a look - www.thefaceliftacademy.com 😊🙏🏻
Quality. From just watching yourself and a Japanese atilier channel here at the university of youtube im ready for a career change. From waitress in a cocktail bar to, perhaps, several positions on The Repair Shop 😬
You make it look easy.
Great job.
Thank you! That’s really kind 😊
I’ve watched all your videos and appreciate your craftsmanship so much; both with the quality of your video and the care and quality of your upholstery. I appreciate seeing a professional working with quality and precision. Thank you!! I’ve learned lots from watching you.
I would really appreciate seeing a video of reupholstering a glue-lam plywood shaped seat.
I am planning to reupholster 8 dining room chairs. They are glue-lam shaped back and seat with a curved front , 1” foam and fabric cover. I will completely deconstruct, refinish and refoam. I would like more cushion than the original but I’m concerned that a thicker foam would not shape to the curves. 1” + 1/2” + poly?? What would you suggest?
Thank you again for excellent instruction.
Hi Carol, that’s really kind to say - thank you! I’m glad you find the videos helpful 😊 do you have Instagram by chance? If so, send me a picture of the chair you need to reupholster and I will help you the best I can. I find it easier if I can see the piece to advise properly!
I knew it would be good and you didn't disappoint. I gave it a thumbs up before I watched it.
You’re always too kind, Sandy! Thank you! 🤗
Chair needs more cushion wonder why your ass hurts when you’re sitting in it
Question, do you also show or give tutorial of the sewing aspects?
Great work Mr
Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻
Hi Neil I love the chair I also love watching your videos, your work is spectacular. I have a motorhome that needs a revamp. I was going to have a go at changing them myself after watching your videos but I'm not confident enough to go ahead so getting a company to do them xx
Hi Joan, that’s really kind that you! Ah, I hope it turns out great for you! Good luck Joan 🤗
Fascinating video! What a great talent you have. Been a good help thanks for posting 😁
Thanks Jayney. If you would like even more from us please go to www.thefaceliftacademy.com 👈🧵✂️🧷🪡
I absolutely ❤️ your work, super neat! 👌 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Julie!! And thank you for watching 😊👍🏻
I work in home construction and our clients are boring too😂 I'm making myself a seat out of a vintage fur jacket so NOT boring, but also a tad intimidating. Thanks a lot for the content, appreciate it
A fur jacket sounds awesome!!
I agree with your, no cut corners, attitude completely. I'm the same way and go that extra step to make sure anything that comes from my hands is solid. But as a person who's currently reupholstering a similar chair, do you think your excessive staples will make it harder for the next guy 20 years from now? Perhaps a centimeter or half inch apart would suffice.
Thanks Chris. I wouldn't say I'm excessive but I would need to re watch the video. Thanks for your support. 👍😊🧵✂️⛏️
I wanted to use horse hair as the bottom layer above the initial muslin. Is that a good idea or do i need something firmer below it like some thin plywood cutout?
Horse hair is good. Don't use boards as they don't give when sat on. There is a guy on here called Buckminster Upholstery who is great with traditional methods. 👍⛏️✂️📐🧵
Hello! I am raking up the views for this video. I am self-taught, doing my own furniture that needs a facelift. I am doing a small child's rocker and this video is exactly what I needed to guide me through the corners and how to make this rocker less bumpy, and much easier. I had everything done, when my sewed up pattern ended up to short. I think my foam was thicker than the original. It also had piping along the seat and up the back. My fabric started fraying when I was pulling it to the back. UGH! I took everything apart and I am following you step by step. You make this look so easy and seamless with a beautiful finish chair. I am hoping my rocker will come out the same way. I will not be sewing pieces together this time. Thanks for putting your tutorials up here.
Ahh glad it was helpful and good luck with your rocker. Would love to see it when it's done ⛏️🪡🧵✂️👍
@@faceliftinteriors It is done and I can see some mistakes. It is art. I don't know where to post it though.
I wish there was an easier way. I’m thinking of just covering over my pleather dining chairs… not sure it will work..
Won't look great going over the old fabric! If there is piping make sure to cut it out. 📎✂️⛏️🧵📐
You’re very talented! Explaining step by step was helpful and informative too AWESOME JOB👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That’s really kind of you to say, Angie thank you! And thank you for watching - glad you found it helpful 😊👍🏻
Can someone please help me with the concept of "flaring" the corner of the fabric?

This might help Andy 🙏👍✂️☺️🙏📌🧵
🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💕💕💕
😊🙏🏻
Awesome Video! Can you give me a masterclass if I cross the pond?
Thank you! We’re launching an online academy soon…watch this space 😊👍🏻
superior work! I can imagine the cost to upholster a single chair, let alone dining set of eight😅
You’re not wrong, plus with the price of all the materials going up so much recently too! But thank you for your kind comment and thanks for watching 😊🙏🏻
Hello! How many metres of fabric did you use for one chair?
Hi, approximately 1.5m-2m per chair. 👍🧵✂️⛏️📐
Good work but I have one question. Why not just use 5” foam for the death and just trim the edge with your cutter to get that dome shape? It felt like more of an effort to do all that stuffing
Very difficult to get a smooth perfectly rounded edge that way! I find this much easier! Hope this helps! Thanks again for watching! 😊👍🧵⛏️✂️📐

What is the paint u used for the leg and the material u put it on called please ? Thank you
Fiddes Onyx wood stain, and then we used a hycote spray lacquer! Hope this helps and thanks for watching! ✂️⛏️🧵📎📐🙏😊
Was the dacron removed before covering. Love the videos, I am attempting to start this on 8 chairs, never done this before. so starting with the first. I'm using existing foam, but where I am increasing the level of foam, and adding another level I might need some more dacron!!
Tapas mucho tu trabajo con tus manos y tu cabeza.
Guilty as charged! 🤷♂️🧵✂️⛏️📐

Always amazes me how some people just have to say something rude.
I wonder if it makes them feel better?
I think you’re great and have taught me so much.
Thank you!!!
