Just as I was finishing up last week’s
50+ Ways to reuse old belts, I walked upon a scene that is a DIY,
trash-obsessed, upcycling blogger’s dream. It was 2 chairs with a “take
me” sign. Immediately the woven belt covered chairs in the collection
came to mind. I snatched up my new finds and brought them straight
home. See how I refinished the one on the left, and made it a cute
woven belt seat.
SUPPLIES:
Old chair (FREE!!)
Painting or staining supplies
As I was applying the stain, I remembered
why I usually go with spray painting when I do a revamp. Now that it
is over, I am happy I refinished it. I love the dark stain I used
Furniture tacks -You will need 2 per belt needed to cover your chair
Old Belts – I have
gathered these from various thrift stores and garage sales along the
way. I used mostly leather, but there is one fabric belt thrown in
there too. I used 18 belts for this project. That will
vary with the size of your chair and the width of your belts.
Hammer
Scissors that will cut leather
TUTORIAL:
I LOVE it! It is sturdy as can be too. The bottom is ugly, but who cares, right?
You can make this chair, no problem. If
you want to avoid the whole staining mess, just sand and spray paint
your chair in a fun color.
