Wrap It Up! | Custom Seat Covering On The Cheap

04. The foam was placed on the bottom part of the seat pan. We then trimmed the foam with a pair of scissors to round out the edges.

05. The foam was then glued to the seat pan with some 3M adhesive spray and allowed to dry for two hours.

06. After the seating surface was securely affixed to the seat pan, we traced the tail section and cut the foam accordingly.

07. The foam was glued and attached to the seat pan with a bit of pressure and allowed to dry for a few hours.

08. Once the foam was completely attached to the seat pan, a bit more edge trimming was made to get the desired shape of the seat.

09. We then placed the Mexican blanket material over the seat and decided where we wanted the pattern of the fabric to lay.

10. The fabric was then trimmed to 5 inches around the seat. The fabric was pulled around the seat and attached under the seat pan with small screws and washers. The washers act to secure the fabric with a larger footprint so it won't rip or tear under pressure.

11. After a bit more adjusting of the fabric, we had the look we wanted at a price we could deal with too. All this was done for less than $20 mostly with stuff we had laying around. Next month we are going the big-bucks route and taking this same seat pan and giving it a hand-stitched leather cover for your enlightenment and enjoyment.
