Instructions
Step 1
Decoupage
Ugly chairs with wide wooden backs can be made into a real work of art using a technique called decoupage. First, sand the surface of the backrest with an abrasive paper. Then select the motif you want to place on it. Specialized stores sell decoupage consumables for furniture. Apply a coat of paint to the back, wait until dry. Next, proceed to the decoupage technology itself. Place a motif cut from a napkin on a layer of varnish, smooth it out. Cover with a protective layer after drying. If you are new to this art, start with small motifs, they will decorate both modern chairs and old school furniture.
Step 2
Covers
Usually, with the help of textile devices, chairs are decorated for a wedding celebration. Get a fabric that matches the color, it is most practical to use a dense synthetic one - it does not wrinkle, does not deform, practically does not fade. Take measurements from the chair and build a pattern. The cover consists of two connected parts - the backrest, which passes into the seat, and the chair skirt. It is especially convenient to sew a chair cover without rounded elements. Cut the fabric out of the fabric, don't forget the seam allowances. Stitch on a typewriter, turn out and try on a chair. If the cover does not fit too tightly on the piece of furniture, you can tighten the material with ribbons. A chic bow made of a bright ribbon will look great on the back of the back.
Step 3
Stencil drawing
To create a beautiful repeating pattern on the chairs, you need to choose a motive and make a stencil, however, you can find ready-made sets in stores for creativity and hobbies. It is most convenient to use adhesive tape as a base. Draw a motif on it, it is important that the ornament consists of not too complex shapes with smooth edges. Cut out the holes with a blade, stick the stencil film on the prepared back of the chair. Using a sponge or roller, apply paint to the cut parts of the design, wait until it dries completely. Peel off the tape carefully. Drawings on furniture made with bronze or golden paint look beautiful.
