First of all, it is necessary to really assess the volume of upcoming work. Remember that any chair in any condition he was. You can always replace the wear and broken parts for new ones. After an objective view, you need to think about the final result. That is, what would you like to get from this stool in the end. Think carefully, in what room it will be. And already repel the following. The interior in which the updated chair will be located, and will be the point of departure in the restoration at home this subject of furniture.
Whatever repair you roam, staining or coating the surface of the chair surface - be sure. To give this subject to the interior of the updated type, you should get rid of the old coating. Therefore, you will need to use sandpaper. With it, you can easily remove the cramped paint or varnish. But it should be previously removed the seat and upholstery. For these purposes, use the hammer and, if necessary, dismissed. In some chairs, the seat is attached by nails, so it will need a nail to remove them. Upon completion of this stage, you can safely skull legs, a back and frame with sandpaper. If you decide to repair furniture at home, be prepared to work well by sandpaper. Perhaps this is the most tedious stage in the restoration. wooden coatings. The tree can be painted by several layers of varnish or paint, so at first it is better to work with a sandpaper with a large graininess. Grinding is carried out fine-grained skurt.
Now you can go directly. It is known that the tree absorbs any liquid very well. Therefore, our repair will not work without primer. It will allow paint to more evenly host the surface and live much more time. The primer can be white or colorless. The first is better to use if you are going to paint the chair. Colorless primer will be needed to those who continue to use varnish and does not want to overlap the wooden texture. After applying one or more layers of primer, it is necessary to wait for its complete drying. Now it remains to walk with a fine-grained skin and start to apply paint or varnish. But if you want to give a product of an even more rugged look, use a special wax balsam. It is applied after drying the primer before applying paint. He must be good, after which it will need to carefully polish the brush. Now you can paint. In order for the product longer in priority form, it is best to apply two layers of the dye, pre-giving each well to dry.
You can realize your designer ideas. Sometimes the interior project does not provide for use of soft seats. Therefore, the repair of the chair ends on the seat staining and screwing it to the frame. If you want to repair the chair completely using a new upholstery, go to the next item.
It is important that the upholstery, the chair itself and the interior, are not knocked out of one designer solution. Therefore, we need to think over everything to the last little things. Use only dense upholstery fabric, even if you not only make repair of a soft seat, but also sequerate the pillow for the chair.
Remove all the staples from the old seat. Make it easily with a large tweezers. Now proceed to the replacement of batting. A pre-carved piece must be planted on a thermoclay and give it well to gain. If this is the first furniture repair in your life - we recommend to do with a monophonic cloth. (And even more strips) will have to constantly check how exactly it is located. And for the beginner it may be quite complex and troublesome.
For each edge, you will definitely leave the five-meant meter of the fabric. You can even a little more. Secure the cloth with pins on the surface to control the location of the pattern. Gradually pull the upholstery by fixing it with a building stapler at a distance of no more than 1-2 centimeters. Depending on the shape, the fabric on the corners can be fixed like this:
Almost all furniture objects are deposited. Even with careful circulation, the time takes its own, and the material from which one or another thing is made is exposed to aging and loses its own kind, and in some cases it is already ceased to perform its basic function. In the case of chairs, the seat of the chair is primarily wearing, that is, its upholstery. And also often the legs suffer due to the fact that they constantly accounted for a load. They may break, fall out and eventually completely fall off, as a result of which the chair will come into disrepair.
There is a need for its restoration, because this process will not take much time and you will not spend so many tools as if you bought a new chair. In particular, the furniture restoration process is relevant if it is expensive, old, rare item or someone's gift that you do not want to throw away.
It is necessary to know that old chairs are repaired for a number of reasons that are characterized by certain damage. This may be an insignificant defect in the form of erasing the paintwork. Such a defect usually have Viennese chairs. In this case, it is only necessary to clean the wooden surface and make painting. There are more substantial damage:
When wearing upholstery fabric, it is required to produce such a restoration process as a hauling. It is impossible to say that this is a very labor-intensive work, rather, simple, unlike the one when you need to restore the "backbone" of the chair when it is loosened.
Old wooden chairs, chairs, stools and stools can be repaired, having a certain set of tools and the required material.
From materials, for repairing chairs from wood with their own hands, you will need the following items:
Repair of chairs do it yourself is not a complex process. Many people have already passed through this and know all the nuances of how to renovate the old chair with their own hands. All you need is to thoroughly explore the master class on the decoupage of the chair and other restoration techniques.
To start, repaired chair needs as follows Clear from dust and dirt, applying to it also wet cleaning with a sponge. Having waited for a complete drying of the surface, you can move to the next step.
Before proceeding directly to restoring the chair, it needs to be disassembled. There are two types of disassembly: full and incomplete. The complete disassembly includes the dismantling of the entire design of the chair. Of course, this option is more complex and time-consuming and if you chose it, you can give advice how to do it. If the whole design of the chair is bonded with screws, then do it will not be difficult. In the event that the legs, the back and all the parts of the chair are kept thanks to the glue, filled into the grooves, have to make small efforts to disassemble it.
As a rule, Sidushka and the back are removed without difficulty. Difficult stage in the disassembly is the disassembly of the carcass itself. Here it is necessary to attach a certain force.To knock out the details from the grooves. For these purposes, it is best to use the Cyanka (rubber or wooden), since the metal hammer can easily be the components of the chair or to form dents.
In any case, when knocking out parts, you will need to get rid of the old dried glue (in some cases it may be epoxy resin). To do this, use a moistened sponge or some unnecessary rag. It must be applied in the place of attachment of two parts and leave for a while so that glue or epoxy resin splashed. After that, the details will easily go away from each other.
If it is difficult to get to any place to remove the glue, you can apply another method, it, by the way, is more efficient. In this method, the principle of removal of glue by ferry under high pressure. Most likely, most people have no special devices creating a targeted effect of hot high-pressure steam . But here there is a way out of the situation. It is enough to find a piece of rubber hose for about about the meter and put it on the spout of the kettle, filled with water, which at this time is put on the stove. At the hose itself, you can pick up some nozzle that narrows its diameter.
Below will be considered the restoration of the chair at home with incomplete disassembly. Stages of recovery of the chair will be located in the following order:
The last stage is optional and performed at the request of everyone. Covers for chairs do it yourself Let protect the chair and make it newer. And also due to the fact that they can be changed, there is a factor of variability in design.
So, firstly, you need to prepare a working surface and take care of the protection of hands and workwear. To protect your hands, use pharmacy rubber gloves and put on clothes that you do not feel sorry to get sorry. If you restore the outdoor chair, then must be appropriate for this weather (Lack of wind and rain). If you do it at home, then you can lay the linsel or large garbage bags on the floor under the chair.
After dismantling the seat, it needs to get rid of the old upholstery coating and cover the new one. Upholstery fabric buy in any furniture store, with a suitable pattern and color. The upholstery can hold onto the glue or naughty. In the second case, you will need pliers. It is desirable to remove the old coating, and not to trim the new one. A filler should also be deleted. Then it needs to be sanded with an average grain and, rubbed dust with a damp cloth and waiting for drying, to cover twice with the primer.
The gap between the coatings of the primer should be ideally 24 hours, but the manufacturer, as a rule, indicates a smaller time. The primer also has bactericidal properties, which is especially relevant for old furniture. When two layers of primer are applied, you can start tightly.
Note:A seats can be seeded at a special master. As a rule, such services are cheap enough, especially if you provide the master your material for tightness.
Synthetic foam rubber or batting is suitable for filler. When using batting, the number of layers is done about 4, but can be more, depending on which softness of the seat you want to achieve . Batting or foam Cuts off strictly in the size of the seat and fixed on its surface with a furniture stapler or small nails.
Fasten upholstery, the so-called seat cushion, it follows not only around the perimeter, but also in the middle. This will prevent the location of the material during operation. Now, to cover our seat, cut off the cape along the sidewa contour, retreating about five centimeters from the edge. By placing the filler, you can drag, fixing the stapler each of the sides and overlooking the angles, which are also fixed. Reverse (invisible side) can not be covered.
Perhaps, the easiest wayIf there is a chainsaw and Bulgarian, make it using the usual pen of acacia or another tree with a beautiful texture. It is made as follows. Cut off suitable size Prenok, the diameter of which will range from 25 to 30 cm. The height you pick themselves, focusing on the one that will be comfortable for you. The height can be determined by measuring any home stool. After that, the incision of the chainsaw in the form of a cross, a depth of about half of the hemp.
Then an ax is a small deepening in the middle of the hemp and a small amount of fuel material is poured into it - gasoline or diesel fuel. In the process of burning, the inner part of the toaster will burn out, it is important to monitor this process here and prevent the legs of the legs. The thickness of the legs should be at least five centimeters at the base and it expands towards the seat. The whole burnt tree is scraped by an ax or a knife and grinds with the help of a grinder. It is put on a special nozzle in the form of a brush with rough bristles.
After cleaning the inner surface, the edges of the legs are processed using a grinder and grinding disk throughout the circumference. . Then paint is made Diluted to the desired shade by Bez and, after drying, varnish.
To make a simple stool you need quite a bit of time and the minimum set of tools. You will need:
The diagram below shows the dotted line shape of the leg that you need to cut out in the amount of four pieces, as well as the necessary dimensions for the board. The form may be the other, here it is shown as an example.
Important:The base of the leg should be defined to give a stability stool.
After applying marking on the workpiece, drink the jigsaw strictly along the line. In the future, the resulting leg can be used as a layout simply applying to the material, rolling and cutting off. When all four legs are cut off, proceed to their processing. It is possible to clean the edges using a semicircular milling mill, but if there is no such, use the usual emery paper. True, it will take a little longer. For the toaster seat, the board requires the board of the same section in the form of a square with a side of 320 mm. The edges of the seat must be smoothed and make semicircular. The billet is also covered on all sides with the grinding machine.
Then, when all four legs and a toreret seat are ready, provided that they are well processed by sandpaper, you can start connecting all four legs. First we drill two holes in each leg at the top. The drill must be used slightly smaller diameter than the self-tapping screw, otherwise it will not hold on. Then there is a slight deepening of the larger diameter drill, so that when screwing into the screw, his hat was drowned and it could be safely primed in the future.
The approximate connection scheme is shown in the figure below, for this it is required to attach one leg perpendicular to the other and connect using self-samples.
In the same way, connect two other legs and screw them to the rest. Such a connection is very reliable, as four screws hold one leg. When all four legs are connected, we apply the entire fasten design to the stuff and mark its contours, in order to know where to screw the screws while connecting the seat with legs. We make holes on the outside of the seat, not forgetting about a small hole of the larger diameter to hide the hats of self-tapping screws. After twisting all the screws, it remains only to clean the places in which there were compounds and cover the entire surface of the toaster varnish and Beitz (if desired).
Tools needed to independently sew the case for the chair with their own hands:
First of all, remove all tags from the chair: height, width, distance from the back and to the seat, length of the legs. Alternative option To remove the labels, there may be markers right on the fabric when you will apply them to the chair.
The case itself will consist of two capeties. One of them will stretch from the bottom of the legs to the back and echo over it. Another cape covers the side of the legs. Two capes are bonded by bandages from the same material as capes. The fabric is flashing on both sides on sewing machineAnd the dressings are sewn manually.
Sooner or later, before the majority of us, the task of buying new furniture, including chairs. At the same time, it does not always make sense to buy new furniture To a sufficiently high price, as we can renovate old chairs.
This approach has many of its advantages. Here are the most obvious of them:
The thing is that chairs, as, however, and any other furniture items are not anything eternal. Even high-quality chairs are susceptible to aging and breakdowns, especially in cases where we, in one way or another, "help" them, by negligence inflicting damage. So it turns out that furniture items come into disrepair. Of course, chairs, being one of the most active furniture items, suffer primarily. At the same time, as a rule, the highest damage is, as a rule, the seat of the chair, while all other parts remain more or less and unscathed.
If you are interested in the restoration of old chairs with your own hands at home, you can be sure that you do not even have to have any rich experience in decorating and repairing. It is enough to assimilate the master class on a drawing, painting, decoupage and other variants of alteration and decor of old furniture and you can repair the chair. In any case, this experience will be able to come in handy in the future, since you can make the upholstery of the "grandmother's" sofas and the chairs of the same age. Thanks to this approach, almost any furniture is ensured by the second life, and not just a place in a landfill or in Chulana, as often happens.
Meanwhile, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe repair of furniture also has another one, even if not the most obvious, plus. The fact is how to renovate old chairs at home will help not only make a new thing that has already seemed unnecessary. In addition, you can feel the pleasure of incarnation of your creative energy.
First of all, it is necessary to recall that the restoration method depends on what the nature of damage is. If you try to highlight the main damage, then you can designate the most common types of damage:
So, the method of restoration of the chair will depend on which item is broken or worn. So, the scheme of restoration and repair should be selected depending on the places (or places) in which there are problems.
Often it is enough to simply connect the separated details, restoring one of connecting detailswhich could spoil over time. It is about grooves and spike. Wearing or expansion of one of them as a time leads to the fact that the chair gradually becomes unstable and begins to stagger on the legs. Repair, as a rule, lies in almost complete disassembly of the structure with spike buildup. To solve this task you will have to try to try.
On the other hand, if you need to restore a wooden chair, in which the old paintwork has spoiled, it can be done much easier. If the lacquer cracked, you can only remove it, process the surface with the help of sandpaper with small grain. And then again apply a layer of paint. Or varnish if you are provided by this type of coating. In any case, paint or apply varnish is already your choice.
Also a pretty simple matter is to take the old chairs. To do this, you will only need to replace the old worn or torn tissue, to a new one. Let's see in more detail for the main stages of the restoration of the chairs at home.
Any stool can be made new. However, for this you need at least in general terms to know the sequence of work. If you do not have experience in the like do, it is recommended to study at least a short master class, which will be considered slightly lower.
With a proper approach, even if the upholstery broke out, the legs were torn, partially or completely cracked the old lacquer or paint, it can be completely transformed by performing a restoration with his own hands. First of all, you will need the minimum necessary set of tools and materials:
After preparing materials, try to clean the chair from dirt and dust, cleaning it thoroughly. To do this, you can wipe the chair slightly moistened with a sponge.
The front restoration of the chair must be disassembled. After waiting for the chair breathes after wiping with a wet sponge, you can move to its disassembly. Seats and backs are usually removed simply enough, after which the framework is disassembled. In order for composite parts to be damaged by knocking them out, use the rubber image, and not a metal hammer. In any case, it is necessary to work very carefully.
If the table is assembled with screws or screws, then it is not difficult to disassemble it, because you can only develop them. In any case, it is advisable to dismantle all the details as they can interfere with repair. It should be if there is such an opportunity, designate the fasteners details or simply add them in such a way that you subsequently could confuse them.
With regard to how it is better to remove the remains of the old glue, especially epoxy. Those places where the remnants of glue are needed, it is necessary to put pre-dipped rags or sponges. Any old and unnecessary vehicle will suit. Keep it on the details of the chair until the glue is finally splashing, after which it can be quickly scrupped with a knife.
Taking into account! For this work, it is better to find an old stupid knife, since it makes no sense to use a new or well sharpened.
In any case, after you finish getting rid of the old glue, you will need to leave some time for drying wooden parts. In cases where epoxy resin got into inaccessible placeIt can be removed in about the same way, with the only difference that instead of the water you will need to use steam. If you do not have any special devices that create hot steam under pressure, you can use the old grandfather "way", which involves the use of the hose with a tip, which is put on the aut of the kettle.
So, after the preparation was completed, we can move directly to the restoration of the old chair. That's what you have to do:
By the way! Alternatively, you can sew covers. This will allow not only to update the old chair, but also make it attractive at the expense of replaceable design covers.
Now let's see what can be done with antique chairs when restoration and how to decorate them better.
Make such decoration is simple enough. You need to either make a preheating of old soft places, or sew covers. By the way, such an approach can be applied to sofas and other furniture subjects.
There are different options. Among the most common, which can give chairs new life - Decoupage and textile use (including denim).
The main thing in this case is the choice of high-quality and durable fabric. These include: jute, tapestry and jacquard. Sometimes the velor is suitable. The upholstery of chairs using tapestries is an excellent technique that, by the way, gives an excellent result in the end. By the way, a pattern woven by Macrame method can be added to the fabric.
If we talk about macrame a little more details, it should be noted that it can be done even if you do not have a weaving skills by this method.
As one of the options, you can bring the following opportunity: if the back of the old chair is soft, remove the upholstery and perform a simple mesh weaving with square cross section. By the way, the size of the cells can be as big, there and small. To give an updated chair more harmonious external view You can redo the seat upholstery.
This option can make true decoration from your chair. With this method, you can separate a lot of things, by performing various crafts, up to decorating the box for souvenirs. So, you can extend the lives and old chairs, however, only if all of them constructive elements Made of wood.
Well, finally, I want to say a few words about how you can decorate the old, for example, the Soviet chair if you have unnecessary or torn jeans. There are two embodiments of the decor: to completely drag the chair using the jute, and use the denim cloth as an additional decoration. It can be a strip or small flap.
