You simply find the peice to remove first and carelfully remove all the old fabric. And take plenty of pictures so you can put it back together properly. This lovely chair has pretty clean lines so that's a good first project. Rolled arms and tufting gets trickier.

Since it was my first time attempting re-upholstery I figured if I totally failed it was only $13 spent... I just went at it with a glue gun & staple gun. Voila! Yup, I did do it myself.
