If your upholstery is looking a little saggy, you may be considering reupholstering it yourself. One of the most important steps in reupholstering is covering the seat springs. This can be a tricky task, but with a little patience and attention to detail, you can do it!
To start, you'll need to remove the old fabric and any staples or tacks that are holding it in place. Once the old fabric is removed, take a look at the seat springs. If they're in good condition, you can simply cover them with new fabric. However, if they're starting to show their age (sagging, rusting, etc.), you may want to replace them entirely.
Once you've decided whether or not to replace the seat springs, it's time to start covering them! Begin by cutting a piece of fabric that's slightly larger than the spring itself. Then, using either spray adhesive or hot glue, attach the fabric to the top of the spring. Make sure that the fabric is pulled tight so there are no wrinkles or sags.
Finally, use either staples or upholstery tacks to secure the fabric in place around the edge of the spring. Once all sides are secure, trim off any excess fabric and enjoy your newly upholstered furniture!
