Measuring Tape Chairs

A couple of weeks back, my best friend Lieke and her boyfriend came all the way from Belgium! They helped me with a project by their design: The Measuring Tape Chair! (see hers here, she also has a lot of other great projects!)

So I started with these very old chairs I got from a friend of my grandmother's. 

I took off the seats (we'll see more about that later), sanded the four chairs, and painted them white. Already looks the part, doesn't it?!

Next, we had to strip down the seatings. Luckily I always have a helping hand or paw!

Then, my best friend and her boyfriend came to the rescue and helped me with the measuring tape seatings. We cut the measuring tapes, and then stapled them to the seats. 

So, this is the end result! We tried them during my living room folk ball, and they survived ;)
