Few simple items to take a plain bar stool to a funky bar stool..
1.
1’ x 1’ piece of fabric
2.
Foam (cut to the size of the seat)
3.
Paint
4.
Old stool
5.
Primer
First step is to prime and paint the base of the
stool, second step is it place the foam on the seat and wrap fabric around. You
can either velcro the fabric to the chair or use a staple gun.
My younger sister had a basic pink heart shaped mirror
she was going to throw out; I taped the mirror off and primed the melamine
surface. As a base coat I took a basic white semi-gloss latex paint I had in my
garage (for trim). I then went out to purchase a black gel stain and a natural
bristle brush, now to start the fun. I dry brushed “swoosh” marks all over
using a rag to wipe excess of the brush and continued till I was happy with the
end result. To protect the surface from chipping I sprayed a few coats of clear
polyurethane. I created a funky new mirror that reflects my personality while recycling
old furniture pieces.
