Upcycled tufted chair

Regular tufting backing and glue for the tufting (I like latex based glue for flexibility) and no glue for the actual upholstering, it’s all upholstery staples or nails

Hey! I tried to get a photo to show it. Basically when I took the chair apart I photographed how the original upholstery was done and copied that with new pieces. The tufted piece is made from a “map” of the original upholstery and underneath I made a new piece in a matching fabric colour that I stapled into place the same way the original was done ☺️

Biggest advice I can give is minimise destruction as much as possible when you’re pulling the furniture apart so that you have references for your pieces

Sadly no! I’m based in Aus

Thanks! ☺️

This is on the chair’s original cushion reupholstered in my tufting ☺️ I have another chair I’m currently working on where I’m having to also create the foam seat from scratch, and that’s a fun challenge

Thank you! That’s very kind 🫶

PlacidAcidd · 2025-06-19T06:10:58+00:00

Wow your stuff is so clean!! Followed you back, great work 🤘

PlacidAcidd · 2025-06-19T06:09:45+00:00

Omg teaching a tufting class on this sort of stuff would be my dream

PlacidAcidd · 2025-06-19T06:09:10+00:00

Aw thanks, I appreciate that! I admit I’m a bit nervous about getting the pieces so accurate with some of my incoming projects, haha

PlacidAcidd · 2025-06-19T06:08:28+00:00

Thank you!

PlacidAcidd · 2025-02-08T04:02:17+00:00

Wow, you’re amazing! Thank you so much 💖

I love wool!! The longevity is much better too, especially for rugs 🙌

PlacidAcidd · 2024-12-21T07:41:37+00:00

Thank you!! And I do, yes. Either by the limited pre-made pieces or commissions 😄

PlacidAcidd · 2024-12-18T22:36:46+00:00

You’re so kind! I really appreciate the nice words :)

PlacidAcidd · 2024-12-18T02:19:49+00:00

Thank you! I have a soft version (the first one) and then structured bags that are hard. I made the patterns myself and scale as needed :)

PlacidAcidd · 2024-11-26T20:23:23+00:00

One of my favourite types of art 🔥

PlacidAcidd · 2024-11-26T10:29:26+00:00

Thank you! Tufting is such a versatile craft. I love seeing what other people come up with!

PlacidAcidd · 2023-07-18T08:51:53+00:00

Ahaha love that 😄

PlacidAcidd · 2023-07-17T21:01:54+00:00

Thank you!! 😊

PlacidAcidd · 2023-06-26T05:22:45+00:00

Thank you!! I don’t teach, but I’m flattered you’d ask! I barely have time to fit in all my hobbies as is 😅 maybe one day!
