How to Reupholster a Wooden Stool with Whipcord

You'll Need:

Wooden stool;

Whipcord;

Staple gun.

Instructions

If necessary, sand the surface of the stool.

Disassemble it into parts; we will only work with the seat.

Use a staple gun to lock the end of the whipcord.

Start tightly winding the whipcord so that there are no gaps. Having reached the end, fix the end with a staple gun.

Start twisting the threads in the transverse direction. It is more convenient to do this by folding the working thread in half—so you thread two threads at once, which is much faster. Leave the tails hanging down until you finish working with the entire surface.

When finished, fasten the tails with a staple gun, making sure that the threads are straight and then reassemble the stool.

As a finishing touch, stick the whipcord around the perimeter of the seat.
