OPPS! MY BAD!

FAIL.... MAJOR FAIL. On keeping up with this. The chair looks great and I finished it about 2 weeks ago. The next part of the chair I worked on was the cushion. And because I was so peeved with this part of the chair I didn't really take any photos. SO! Im just going to directing yall to the person I have been following. HERE!

ALSO! Im going to make it up to yall (for the ones who are reading this) TWO EXTRA STEPS!!! YAY!

And this part Im not sure what its called but I kept calling it the decorative part or the panel. Heres what ones looks like if your still not sure.

OH YEAH that part. This part it easy, which is nice when you have to wrestle with the cushion so many times. On my chair I have two different areas where the panels stick. If you have any on your chair you see that it is nailed on. If you don't have to replace the original peice then just leave the nails in and wrap some fabric around it, put a piece of batting to fluff it up. Then staple. Also if you want staple the pipping around it as well. Then with a rubber mallet hammer the piece in.

If your panel is straight I bet your piece is still in tacted. If not or your part is curved like my seconded one then it might have fallin to peices. Here is how you re-create that piece.

First, keep all your peices. If you some how misplaced some try to put the ones you have already like the top and width. Then with a ruler or some kind of measuring tape on how long you think the piece should be.

Then with a piece of MDF board (you might be able to buy small sheets at home depot or your local hard ware store. I wouldn't use cardboard because its flimsy and doesn't hold the nail well.

Trace the piece that you have on the board. Make it the size that you need. Then cut out with a box knife.

thought this would be cool if i reupholster it again or someone else finds it.

When you fished cutting it out make sure the piece fits. If it fits the put nails into the board.

Wrap the fabric around the board on the side where the nail head is. Do the same thing like you did with the ones before. Wrap. lightly stuff, staple, and hammer. The reason you want to use a rubber mallet is so you don't make a whole in the fabric with the nail. (TRUST ME!) Well its not visible but yeah it happens.

OKAY thats i-t......wait I have one more to tell.....

NAIL HEADS!!! YAY! I personally used the nail head stripes only because this was my first time and because i needed something small to use. So this is pretty easy to explain, I prob don't need to actually need to say anything BUT I have one small tip. Wear gloves... heres why!

As you're handling the trim the smooth edges might seem smooth but when you half way through you start to see alittle blood on you hand (don't worry it didn't get on my chair!) The trim must have cut me without me knowing. they were small cuts but it was still very strange to me.

......Heres some pictures!

Also hopefully i will post a blog after this one about ALL my mistakes so that it brings awareness you what you will be doing. But the problem is Im not sure when this will be posted. Hopefully sooner than later because my classes are already kicking my ass. :) yay?!
