Introduction

Accent chairs are a great way to add a touch of style and comfort to any room. They can be used in a variety of settings, from living rooms to bedrooms to home offices. While accent chairs can be expensive to purchase, they are actually quite easy to make yourself. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a tufted back accent chair using simple materials and tools.

Materials* 1 yard of fabric
* 1/2 yard of batting
* 1/4 yard of muslin
* 1 piece of plywood (18" x 18")
* 4 legs (18" tall)
* Wood screws
* Upholstery tacks
* Tufted buttons
* Hot glue gun

Tools* Sewing machine
* Scissors
* Staple gun
* Drill
* Screwdriver

Instructions1. Create the frame. Cut a piece of plywood to 18" x 18". Attach the legs to the plywood using wood screws.
2. Upholster the seat. Cut a piece of fabric to 24" x 24". Wrap the fabric around the seat cushion and staple it in place.
3. Create the tufted back. Cut a piece of batting to 18" x 18". Lay the batting on top of the plywood and staple it in place. Cut a piece of muslin to 18" x 18". Lay the muslin on top of the batting and staple it in place.
4. Tuft the back. Mark the center of the back of the chair. Using a drill, drill a hole through the center of the back. Thread a tufted button onto a piece of yarn. Insert the yarn through the hole and tie it off on the back of the chair. Repeat this process until the entire back of the chair is tufted.
5. Attach the back to the seat. Place the back of the chair on top of the seat. Align the holes in the back with the holes in the seat. Insert wood screws through the holes and tighten them until the back is securely attached to the seat.
6. Finish the chair. Cut a piece of fabric to 18" x 24". Wrap the fabric around the edges of the chair and staple it in place. Hot glue the tufted buttons to the center of each tuft.
