No Sew Couch Reupholster| Time for a “new” couch

Hey Boo Hey! In today’s video I am so sick and tired of looking at my old well loved couch. The couches that I bought start at about $1000 and right now that it’s just not in the budget. So I saw a hack on social media where curtains are used as upholstery fabric to recover large pieces of furniture but I needed to adopt it because I am not a person that sews. So I thought that I would give it a shot. Did this hack work or was it a complete flop??

That was a job in it self. Good good. I was shown if you use Dacron around pillow that might help the wrinkles

[@rosalinaayala5963]

She did an amazing job but the weight of the fabric per oz is not the same as upholstery fabric so it will wear out at the pressure points in a few years. Just like the knees on your jeans the arms of the sofa will go thin first. A solution is to double the material at the bend of the armrest.

thanks for the hint 😉

Haters gone hate

I'm thinking of doing the same thing only using drop cloths. U guys makes what seems so difficult, easy and motivating!! Thanks a bunch!!❣

[@lovelybrnsgr]

This was awesome. I do not know to sew, so is truly appreciated.

[@ourhumblehomediy]

Wow I wouldn't have thought of doing all that. You're very innovative😊❤

[@KurtishaMarie]

This is absolutely beautiful and brilliant! Thanks for sharing:)

Thank you for watching!

It's amazing how the look of a sofa or any seat can be almost completely transformed just by changing its upholstery. Personally, I've always liked leather upholstery, but it isn't always possible to have a leather sofa at home. We currently have an LC3 Sofa from Manhattan Home Design, and I'd like to learn how to upholster it so I can do it myself when the time comes.

[@KurtishaMarie]

you totally got this! I was so nervous when I did mine but it turned out great. I’m sure yours will too!

What was the cloth you stapled on the couch, what kind of stapler did you use & what was that spray you used as adhesive please? I’m trying to reupholster our reclining double couch- very difficult as the 2 are connected in the middle and is immovable from the floor- it’s an rv couch. Thank you very much!

[@KurtishaMarie]

I bought i heavy duty stapler from Walmart, also where I got the Gorilla Glue spray adhesive. The clothe is actually curtains I purchased on Amazon. I hope your project turns out well!!

[@walkingwithgod3569]

@@KurtishaMarie Thanks very much!

[@ron1183]

Good video.

[@KurtishaMarie]

Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@waheedejaz6397]

Can you please tell me what kind of stapler you used for this?

[@KurtishaMarie]

Honestly it was just a heavy duty one that I purchased from Walmart.

[@judichristopher4604]

Just make sure it is ELECTRIC ... believe me you'll be happy you paid a little more ... just a hand stapler will kill your hand later on.

[@darkchocolategirl51]

Great diy how long did the project take? What level easy, intermediate or advanced skills required. What tools needed. Great job

[@KurtishaMarie]

I would say this was pretty easy. I am not someone who is very skilled at DIY projects and this took me about two days to complete with no skill. Are used to have a gorilla spray glue, a stapler and staples, and scissors.

Don't go so fast my eyes are bad it's hard to keep up

[@judichristopher4604]

EXACTLY... so sad that it is so fast you can't SEE what she is doing.

[@00bb00bb00]

Just change the speed in settings to .5

[@maureen9515]

U should have used Dacron....the wrinkles wouldn't have been seen
