This project is sponsored by Arrow Fastener. Learn more about the PT50 pneumatic stapler at These $20 chairs I got about 6 years ago. They were originally $200 chairs from Pier 1. I tried to reupholster one of them but it wasn’t done very well and my son ruined it, anyhow. These beauties were getting a rich velvet fabric makeover, and I was going to do it better this time around! See how I reupholstered the chairs, and learn a few upholstery tips that I picked up along the way.

For a list of materials, visit the blog post written tutorial for these dining room chair velvet reupholstered project:
