Bar Stools Reupholstered

We were given these bar stools by my aunt and uncle. They were still in very good condition, but the cushions had some stains and they weren't the cutest color. So I decided to reupholster them!
It was my first reupholstering I have done. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be
Here are the bar stools before:

All I did was cover right over the original fabric, but before I did that I put 2 extra layers of batting for some extra cushion. 
I found the cutest fabric at Joans. You should only need 3/4 - 1 yard of fabric, depending on how big the bar stools are.
All you have to do is first cover the seat with the batting pull it nice and tight then staple it to the bottom of the seat. Then do the same with the fabric, pull it nice and tight and then staple it to the bottom of the seat. It is was super easy and can be done in a half hour. 
They turned out so great. I love them.

They turned out great. That is actually my project this week! :) How much fabric did you get to cover both of those? My bar stools are similar in size and wasn't sure how much to get.

hey thanks to Aubrey sorry I just saw your comment. You should be fine with 1 yard of fabric.
