Transform An Antique Sewing Counter Into Shabby Chic Seating

Decoupage older advertising posters to a discarded sewing bench, and provide the whole piece a shimmering pellet finish. This specific project resulted from an estate auction purchase of 50 cents. Utilizing paint I acquired at a yard sale, and advertising posters I previously had within my stash of craft papers, I switched this shabby sow’s ear right into a chic man made fiber purse. The actual pearl paint for the finish was the only supply I needed to purchase to perform the job.

These instructions are for transforming an old sewing bench, but the paint and decoupage techniques can simply be modified and applied to chairs, trunks and pulaski furniture. Various other poster subject matter, wallpaper, scrapbooking paper, children’s books or wrapping paper could be substituted for the vintage advertising and marketing posters.

Things You’ll need:

Sewing bench along with removable seat
Sandpaper
Rag
Off-white home paint
Paintbrush
2 advertising paper prints
Measuring cassette
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
FolkArt material pearl white acrylic color
Upholstery cloth
Scissors
Staple weapon

Step one
Carefully sand everything on the bench except for the upholstered area to roughen the surface. This will give your own paint a great foundation to stick to. Use a classic rag to wipe away the sanding particles.

Step 2
Fresh paint the bench using leftover off-white residence paint. My partner and i also painted the interior closet and the bottom of the removable seats. I did not eliminate the existing Naugahyde upholstery on the seat. Enable the paint to dry and add further coats regarding complete coverage.

3
Split the edges of one’s posters, or decorative papers, to fit within the edges on each side of the bench. Place the paper on a flat work surface with the right side facing way up. Tear the paper in the direction of you. This can provide the white, torn edge on the front of the poster. The posters measured approximately three or more inches from the top, bottom and side edges of the bench.

Step
Apply the top layer of Mod Podge to at least one side of the bench employing a sponge remember to brush. Center the particular poster on the bench side. Press and rub together with your fingers to get rid of bubbles and firmly place the poster. Continue to monitor the poster since the Mod Podge dries. Push out bubbles and press along the edges if they reappear. Following the Mod Podge dries, apply another layer on the poster and bench side. Repeat on the other side of the bench with the remaining poster. Allow the Mod Podge to dry.

Step {5}
Use a coat of FolkArt metallic pearl white paint over the entire decorated surface of the bench, including the posters. The actual pearl fresh paint is translucent and can produce a shimmering haze on the top of bench.

Step {6}
Lay your furniture fabric on your own work surface with the wrong side facing upward. Center the particular seat lid on the fabric with the bottom side facing upward. Measure the inside lip of the seat and the depth of the seat. Cut the fabric using this measurement, in addition an “, completely across the seat. The excess inch provides you with wiggle room while attaching the particular fabric.

Action 7
Fold one edge of the fabric within the lip of the seat bottom and staple employing a staple gun. Staple entirely throughout the edge. Do not staple in the corners. Collapse the fabric over the opposite national boundaries. Gently tug the cloth, but do not stretch it. Staple the actual fabric alongside this national boundaries. Repeat on the remaining ends. Fold the corners diagonally and facing toward the biggest market of the place. Staple the corners. Neatly trim the extra fabric along the lip and the corners.
