Re-Upholstered Doll Furniture

The other week I bought an old doll chair for $3.00 at Craft Depot. Connie Stuart suggested I should re-upholster it and I was up for the challenge. I pulled off the red cushions...

Before

 

 Then I took some neutral color fabric and ironed on a Paris image.

Then I glued it on the chair and I was done! An updated chair, just like that.  Okay, so maybe it took me about 3 hours to really remove and sand down the old glue, cut the fabric and glue back on the cushions, but it was a day project and it wasn't very difficult.

After

I read that the Avery Fabric Transfer paper works the best and that's what I used for the chair. As I was looking for images for the chair, I also bought other images to use for other projects. I had fun enlarging the images and printing them out. I made that necklace on the chair from one of those images printed on burlap and embellished with a rhinestone pin, tulle, pearls and ribbon. More to come on image transfers, this was fun!

I bought the images from these sites: http://www.etsy.com/shop/room29?ref=seller_info; http://www.etsy.com/shop/tatteredvintage?ref=seller_info; http://www.etsy.com/shop/Graphique?ref=seller_info.  Only $1 each too! The one thing to remember is that before you print any text, you MUST flip the image, so that the text irons right side up. I printed some of the images on inkjet printable fabric too, to be used for some future project. I'm going to work on that picture frame this weekend. I love that large script font.
