As a baby gift from my parents we received a glider. I LIVED in that thing. It is so soothing to me. I would love to see the hours total I spent in that thing nursing and rocking my baby.
Well it broke on the move.
These bars cracked and the glider collapsed to the side when you tried to use it. Fast forward about two months when Dustin finds this back massager at the local high school band garage sale for $2.00. Ahh, there's the motivation needed to fix up that chair.
We had plywood left over from cutting a piece to fit above our window a/c unit. Dustin cut it with the Dremmel and while he was at the hardware store buying screws, I went to work.
I covered the pieces with two layers of this batting that I had left over from making Dustin's Elf costume for Halloween in 2010.
I just laid the boards out, cut around, folded it over and hot glued.
Then I hunted through my fabric stash for a coordinating fabric. Enter the .80 piece of burlap from the thrift store used to make the flowers on the wreath seen earlier.
Cut again and hot glue, pulling the fabric taut.
Tada!
Put it in place (we did one for each side to prevent future breakage, cause we're smart like that)
Tip 'er back up and admire.
Then relax.
