Pull all of the staples and tacks used to secure the original fabric using the staple remover. Dispose of the staples and tacks keeping safety in mind.

Make any needed repairs to the chair frame. Paint or restain the wood chair frame if needed.

Measure and cut the fabric and batting to fit the chair seat allowing excess of 2-3 " on all sides.

Cut the foam to fit the chair seat by tracing the wood shape onto the foam with a marker, then cutting on the line.

Layer in this order: decorative fabric, batting, foam, wood seat.

Secure all of the layers to the wood seat. Staple each side starting at the center and working out from there 2-3" on each side of the center.

Move to the opposite side of the chair seat and secure the layers in the same manner pulling the layer snug but not too tight.

Staple up to each corner but not completely to the corner. Fold and pull the fabric from the point of the corner into the wood seat and staple. Fold and secure the excess fabric neatly and staple to secure.

Finish the newly upholstered seat by steam ironing the fabric.
