Chairs - Great find

I found some awesome chairs at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.  If you have one in your area, you should definitely check them out for bits and pieces of goodness on the cheap.  And you'll be helping a great cause.  These chairs were $5 each.  I painted them and gave them a seat.  I love these and they will live in my office.

Before

After

Step by step:

 

I traced the outline of the seat onto some particle board and cut it out with my jigsaw.  

Then I traced the board's shape onto some thick foam and cut it out.

 

I glued the foam to the board and covered the whole thing with outdoor fabric I got for 50% off at Joann's Fabrics.  

Easy weekend project.
