Chair Foam Reupholstering IV - Pandora's Craft Box

I am back with my chair! I did not think the chair was going to take me almost a month and half to complete. Its very detail intensive and time consuming. I could only work on the chair at night once my little monster went to bed and it takes two people to complete the chair and I had to make sure the hubby was free to help me. However, it’s so worth it. Its also not that hard to reupholster as it might seem. Let’s dive in, in the last post of Reupholstering chair part III we worked on the arms and now need to cover the back of the chair with foam. We used the same foam on the back of the chair that was used on cushion which is Airtex from Joann’s.

The foam was wrapped around the back of chair and stapled. It took three of us to finish this task. Thank you Kristian for your help!

Ta-da! You see the hubby relaxing in the background after all was said and done.

Now on the last post we did the arms, but we had to redo them because they didn’t seem to have enough cushion on them.

We added one inch foam from Joann’s to the curve of the arm which was stapled and then an extra piece of foam to the arm rest and them covered it with another piece of larger foam. Click Here to see the past post.

On the back of the chair there was still a piece of foam missing since non of the foam I could find had the right dimesion to fit the chair.

We took an extra left over piece from Airtex foam and cut it to fit the openning.

My hubby hard at work! He has been awesome with this chair and very supportive.

When my hubby finished, it looked something like this. We trimmed the foam a little bit more so it won’t have that little bulge and is not so noticeable.

Afterwards we covered the chair with batting to add some more softness.

We tucked in the foam around the back of the chair and from the underside.

We decided to not staple the batting until we wanted to start stapling the fabric.

I wanted to thank you all for being so sweet and supportive about my chair! I can’t wait to show you the final result.

Hello, I just joined the linky party. I’m a little late because my blog has been acting up. This is my first, so I hope I am doing everything right. I am posting links on the page I submitted.

I think your chair looks great. I been wanting to try my hand at reupholstering, but I already have so much to do as it is. Hopefully I will one day catch up so I can give it a try. (-:

Please stop by for a visit.
Have a great day.
