Alright, so they aren't the most attractive things...but they are saving the caning on my nice chairs! It is probably pretty obvious I bought these chairs before I had kids. They were starting to look like the floor of my mini-van...not a pretty sight! I have tried everything. I bought chair covers that tie on, they ended up untied or pushed back. I tried making my own covers that velcroed on, they ended up undone and pushed back. So finally, I went to Joanne's Fabric and had the girls pick out vinyl covering of their choice and I staple gunned those suckers on! Well, lo and behold they love them and are very protective of their chair. I figure they are only young for so long. I'll have nice things someday...right???

I didn't know they sold vinyl covering at Joann's! I just read some ideas in a new purse making book I bought that uses vinyl. Will have to check that out. I'd been toying with the idea of making a seat cover out of a plastic tablecloth, you know the kind they sell for pretty cheap with holiday prints on them. Will have to consider using vinyl.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I had original done. I used an old vinyl table cloth but it kept getting taken off.
ReplyDeleteFun blog. Love all the cute craft ideas.

Good to know they kept coming off, maybe I'll skip that step and go straight to vinyl ones.
