Rags to Riches | Fun Chairs

I bought these chairs as a set of two from Goodwill a few years ago.
They were brand new (still in the box)
and I think I paid like $12 for them.

They're nice as is, but I just recently discovered mod podge :)
 

Idea!

mod podge + scraps of fabric
 

In action...

I first spread a layer of mod podge to the seat and back rest,
then smoothed the fabric on top,
and finally spread a thick layer of mod podge.
 

To speed things along I used a hair dryer to help it dry faster,

but it didn't work and I had to leave it over night.
.
Once dry, I noticed bubbles on the seats of the chairs.
I guess a thick layer of mod podge isn't the way to go.

Still... they look better than before... 


I cut off all the access fabric..

 
Now the chairs match the papasan,
(+ the future curtains)
And are ready for the Reading Nest

The chairs are finished for now...
though I might have to spray some sort of sealant on them...

EDIT

I just learned that the bubbles are not because of the thickness of the mod podge,
it's because I didn't wait until the first layer of mod podge dried
before I applied the top layer.. so wait between layers!
