Giddy.

Ah!  My family and I had the greatest holiday weekend. I felt like we got so much accomplished. I took Friday off of work. The kids and I made the rock star awesome burlap canvas pictures. I saw the idea in a magazine selling the kits for $40 a piece. So I went to Slobby Lobby, bought the wood to make the frame, 2 yards of burlap, staple gun and paint for less than $30 total. It was super messy  but lots of fun.

I am so pleased with the way this looks! Then, I had look at my old ratty puked up on rocking chair and decided to give it a razy new look( sorry no before picture)
THEN... I was so pumped about the rocking chair that I changed my dining room chairs!

I cant sew, I don't cut straight and I didn't measure. All in all, I spend under $50. To do the rocking chair, I just used no sew glue. Worked like a charm, my new best friend(SORRY AWAG). These chairs above were crazy easy. I am just so happy for the new look!
SO blessed for this outstanding weekend. The kidlets had a great time helping with all of the project I had.I have no talent or skill in this area....so just take the leap. It wont hurt too bad!PEACE!

Do you think no sew glue would work on totally reupholstering a chair?

i bought a chair for $10 two years ago and remains in it's junky state.

I don't sew or cut straight either so i totally get it!

I used the staple gun the most on the chairs. The seat "pad" on the rocking chair I did use the no sew glue. Pin the fabric like you are going to sew it :) and then apply the glue. Make sure to turn your fabric inside out when pinning. You need to rock that chair out! Cant hurt it when its only $10! I dont know if you have a JoAnn Fabrics by you but thet are having a killer sale on thier home decor fabic.
