A Little Bit of Craftiness: Recycling an Old Computer Chair.
I had one of those cheap computer chairs. I’ve had it for a long time. Long enough for the cushioning to wear down to nothing. Since I don’t use the chair a lot I saw no need to spend the $$ to replace it. Then the back fell off. The little bolt that made it adjustable was stripped. So, I tossed the back and used just the rolling seat untill I could get around to shopping for a new chair.
After using it that way for a little while I decided I rather liked having a computer stool. It’s kind of like one of those Doctor stools they have in all the offices. It tucks away perfectly UNDER the desk making a clean profile. I also found I kept better posture with just the seat and no backing. So, I thought how could I improve this and make it better?
I had some old pillows that I keep around for re-stuffing things. I cut a slit in the seat covering and stuffed it as full as I possibly could with new stuffing. Which made it thick and comfy. I took one of my husband’s old sweatshirts and using a staple gun I recovered the chair in a nice brown that goes well with the room decor. And, there you have it. A brand new computer chair for practically nothing!
