Solve the Problem of Miss-Matched Seating on Thanksgiving with This Faux Fur DIY

Sarah Essex

When you find yourself with a bunch of miss-matched chairs at Thanksgiving, you want to find a way to create a cohesive look. There’s nothing quite like hosting for a large crowd of friends and family, but nobody likes a messy hodge podge of furniture in their dining room.

Why not create a luxurious feel with a little faux fur? For about $20-a-yard, you can drape that random assortment of folding, office and dining chairs in soft, fluffy fur, and create a stunning, pulled-together look.

Materials:

  • Faux Fur (60” wide)

  • Suede Cording

Tools:

  • Scissors

3. Using the suede cording, secure the fur in a zig zag fashion, looping the cording up and around. Tie off the cording, leaving long tails as decorative accents.
