DIY Projects with a Yard of Fabric

Thanks for sharing!

 

Every month the Decor Enthusiast Style team puts together a challenge that you the reader can participate in with us. 

This month the theme is working with fabric specifically a yard….. give or take. I am sharing my DIY Projects with a Yard of Fabric.

 

Cool DIY project ideas for the home using fabric via Our Southern Home

 

Today I'm sharing a collection of ideas from my archives using fabric. I didn't realize I had as many as I do!

Fabric can be such a simple way to update something in your home that perhaps you have just grown tired of or maybe it's that perfect thrift store item!

 

Office chair hack tutorial with simple upholstery make the workspace more comfortable and stylish by Our Southern Home for a farmhouse look.

 

Maybe you have just a plain office chair that you'd love to update. This one was purchased new, but I see them all the time at the thrift store. It was rather plain, and I wanted to give my office space a little color and character. I had recently painted it to brighten it up. I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby. I bought a yard and a half, but depending on the material and pattern, you may need less. The tutorial for this Office Chair Hack, was as simple as deconstructing the chair and re-stapling fabric. You'll notice that the back part is a little different, and I added nail-head trip to hide the ugliness of the staples. It had such a custom look now for very little money!

Burlap is another affordable fabric. You can find many printed burlap fabrics these days that are fabulous. I have a soft spot in my heart for grain sack stripes. I decided to paint my fabric for this project. This is the second time that this chair has been painted, but I kept the fabric the same. It is perfect for the French Farmhouse look. You can see the posts about this chair HERE and HERE.
