2. Sweater Seats

Cozy up a set of chairs by reupholstering them with pieces from outgrown or thrift-store sweaters. 1. Cut a sweater apart, working up the side seams and across the shoulders. Trim off the neck hole and sleeves, leaving two squares of fabric slightly larger than the seat of the chair. 2. Unscrew the seat cushions from the chairs. (The screws are usually on the cushion's underside.) 3. Cover the cushions with the sweater fabric, and secure the cloth edges to the underside using a staple gun or small tacks. 4. Trim any excess and reattach the cushion to the chair. Cost: $0
