Staple gun fun

July 22, 2012 by threesmallapples

After thinking about it for yonks and talking about it even more, I finally got around to re-covering my boring old IKEA Börje chairs.

And with an electronic staple gun, it was surprisingly easy!

In fact, the hardest thing was picking the fabric. After quite a bit of tedious searching, me and Mr ThreeSmallApples managed to agree on Paradis by Bantie.

Swedish fabric for Swedish chairs? How obvious, why didn’t we think of it sooner?

I love your fabric choice – your chair looks very swanky!

I covered a chair a while back and then I walked around my flat, brandishing a staple gun and desperately looking for anything else to thwack fabric onto. Great job. 🙂

I have lots of waste things. But i don’t use it. Before read this blog i am not excited to to make unique or different thing. But now i will try to make a beautiful and strong thing with the help of my staple gun.
