How to customize an old chair with street art stickers
A couple of years ago we found some very cool wooden chairs by the curb. they were clean, in a good state, and they looked pretty comfy. But they were brown and ugly.

First off, scrape off the original coat and finish of the chair with some sandpaper:
Then decide carefully how you’re going to cover the chair using varnished glue. We chose to do a first layer of those big “Hello My Name Is” stickers so that once we put the ones we liked on top there wouldn’t be any blank spot on the bottom:
Let the chair dry overnight, and you’re done! Now sit the crap out of that chair!
