$3 Bench Redo

Last month I bought this bench at a junk sale for $3.  It had white vinyl seats on it covered in stains.  (I removed them before this photo.)  I liked the 1960's shape, so I thought it was worth a redo!

I took care of the sanding and painting, and my Mom was kind enough to recover the seats.

Here's what I put into this project:

Bench                            $3

Sandpaper                     $0 (already had some)

Spray primer, 2 cans      $10

Paint                              $0 (mixed some leftover wall paint)

Spray clear coat             $5

1 yard upholstery fabric  $25

TOTAL                         $43

And here is the

custom,

finished, 

bench:

I think it's well worth $43 and a little elbow grease!
