DIY Seat Weaving Kits


If you are a keen DIY'er, woodworker, upholsterer or just fancy a try at re-seating that old chair, then our kits are ideal for you. They come complete with full instructions and materials to complete the project. No specialist tools are required and anything you might need, (like an old screwdriver) you will probably already have.

Have a go - you will be in good company, hundreds of people have woven new seats with the help of our kits and if you prefer watching "how to" rather than reading it, add an instructional DVD to the kit. The DVD covers hand cane, rush and cane panelling so whatever needs restoring, you will be able to tackle it.

If you would prefer someone else to do the work for you, please visit the Former Glory seat restoration page
