Was so happy to hear at the beginning of your video that your booth requires more items. That means you are selling!!! Great news. Love today’s projects Mary. Inspiring as usual.

@lauriehuttunen4202 3 года назад

When using foam for seat cushions, cut the foam a tad larger than the wooden seat. It will compress and make a nice rounded edge. Stretch a layer of quilt batting over the foam along with the fabric. This will round out the edges and disguise minor flaws in the foam. It also keeps the fabric from wrinkling and pulling away from the foam after people sit in the chairs for awhile.

@cherinelson3436 3 года назад

Very well said. Thank you for the info.

@buzzyanderson4131 3 года назад

Yes quilt batting would hide some imperfections

Spraying paint into the cap and getting out a paintbrush for touch ups - genius! You taught this old dog a new trick.

An inexpensive electric knife cuts through foam like a charm.

@Earthy-Artist 3 года назад

Yes, I've used one for cutting foam, the type of electric knife you might use to carve your turkey or other meat, bread too.

@hollypichardo8004 3 года назад

Yep! I was going to say that but you beat me to it :)

@mandybewkes5300 3 года назад

@sherrycollins9422 3 года назад

While I know that this is off topic, I got such a warm memory when I heard this video because of the bird sounds in the beginning. My grandfather lived in Ohio and I used to visit with him quite often. I haven't felt that way for many years. Funny how sounds can take us back! Thank you!

@Beruthiel45 3 года назад

I see others have already mentioned electric knives for cutting foam, so I'll just comment on how I love that you reuse and remake things into something new. I grew up during the postwar period in England and that was a way of life then, and I still do that myself. My kids think I save too much but I can always see life in things. I'm not a hoarder, I do donate and declutter, in case anyone gets the wrong idea! 😊 I hadn't heard of the parchment paper method, how useful, thank you for sharing that, I must try it. 😉

@lifewitht9983 3 года назад

I keep an electric meat carving knife just for cutting foam. The serrated edge cuts foam perfectly. I learned this trick from making costumes for my church's holiday productions.

I loved that your spray paint color matched the grass on the hill behind you. I was glad to see you put on a respirator with the spray paint, much safer. An electric knife makes cutting foam much easier! Smart idea to cut the thick pieces in half to get two cushions.

Hi Mary ! How beautiful are those green folding chairs sitting in with all your lush plants ! 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 You’re such a sweet, humble and gracious person Mary. Always thinking of others and worried about your Booth not being full and using up space at a Mall. From what I saw in the video, your Booth looks nice ! Some times those “packed booths” don’t draw people in. They are overwhelmed by stuff! I think yours is great…. Not intimidating 🌻 Love that piece of furniture that you did the Transfer on… those crystal knobs look wonderful … perfect for that style ! Have a blessed week…always look forward to Wednesday’s with Mary ! 🌻🌻🍃🌻🌻

@lunchlady1967 3 года назад

Hi, Mary! I wanted to share a quick tip on covering seats with foam cushioning: Take your fabric and staple it to the bottom of one side of the seat. Then take the fabric on the opposite side of the seat and pull taunt. Then staple that side down. Sometimes it helps to have someone do the stapling while you keep the fabric tight. Do the same with the other two sides. I find that by doing that, it will smooth the obvious edges of the foam. It really softens the edges and gives a more rounded edge. Just make sure you really pull the fabric tightly!!! Hope this helps in future projects. Thanks for sharing your gift of creativity!!!

Agree with you about the padded seats. I noticed it too. But I can be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things like that. I love that the two green chairs aren't exactly the same, but are made to look the same. Great job on all Mary.

@sheilastromberger2275 3 года назад

The projects turned out very nice! When using a can of spray paint, I have a comfort grip handle that fits over any spray paint can. Instead of using just your index finger, it allows you to use your grip and works great. I bought it when I was going to redo 4 wooden chairs and it took A LOT of spraying!! Now I use it even if I’m only doing a small project. It was only a few dollars at the hardware store.

@DixieGirl9876 3 года назад

A few tips: a bread knife cuts foam so much easier, especially an electric one. I've done fabric through the printer as well, just iron some freezer paper to the back. Paper doilies are a great stencil too. Quilt batting will hide those uneven cuts in the foam. It all looks great!
