Why throw away a good item when you can fix & improve it ,so easily .We have a fold up chair that is so comfortable ,It is on its 3rd cover ,the metal has been repainted with kill rust & it is over 20yrs old.Have tried to buy a new one but never found one yet.

Great save. As long as the metal part is not broken why throw out. You are now officially POSH CAMPERS.

What a nice job you did on saving your chairs. In fact, they probably look even better than the original chair backs!

Fantastic! I've made a couple of chairbacks and the biggest problem is for me has been the sun deteriorating the fabric. I did find a product online that you can spray on them for a sun block...but can't remember its name right now. Those owls are so perfect for this that I sure would want to keep them for a long long time!

Nice work. Where did you get the owl designs? I've been asked to do an owl on a bag and I have no owls in my files.
