napkin upholstery

remember my den? 

yeah, me neither.

har. har.

i have been so busy with other things that my poor little den has

been neglected. however,  i found some time this weekend to *finally

change out the seat cover of a small chair that i had been wanting to 

put in the den. i have been thinking about what fabric i wanted to put on

the seat, when it dawned on me that i already had the perfect solution!

remember these napkins that i blogged about here?

 

yeah, me neither. 

(almost!)

they had been sitting in a stack of fabrics in a closet in my laundry room

for months...when it dawned on me that one of them would make the 

perfect seat cover for my little chair!

i had to do a little *sneakniness with the upholstery...the napkin was much longer than 

it was wide, so the ends BARELY wrapped around the front and back edge of the seat,

which made it impossible to staple...but, like i said, i was s-n-e-a-k-y.

(i'll save that for another post).

i think it's kinda funny and random that the crab looks like it will pinch the crud out of your bum
if you sit on the chair...

here is the "before"...
