Step 2: Prepare the Chair

Step 3: Paint the Chair

Step 5: Add Brocade Fabric

• Measure Fabric: Measure the amount of brocade fabric needed to cover the chair.
• Cut the Fabric: Cut the fabric according to the measurements, allowing extra for folding over edges.
• Attach the Fabric: Use a glue gun to adhere the fabric smoothly over the chair. Ensure there are no wrinkles for a clean look.

Step 6: Final Touches
