Reupholster Furniture

It is a good idea to start to reupholster furniture by reupholstering a dining chair or bar stool before moving on to more difficult items such as an armchair or sofa. A dining chair back can be reupholstered by making a fabric "envelope" to slip over the chair back. It is usually very easy to reupholster furniture such as dining chair seat cushions and bar or foot stool seat cushions. Just remove the old fabric and replace it with new fabric and stretch and staple your new fabric over the foam cushion.

This is the ultimate way to shine shoes, and exactly how those in the armed services do it.

Wipe off dust with a damp cloth.
Use either a soft cotton cloth or a fine natural bristle brush, whose hairs are tightly packed to the handle, to put on the polish.
Apply polish to shoe in a small circular movement (magic finger); wrap cloth around finger, or evenly cover shoe with polish using the brush.
Make sure that polish reaches the inside of the creases on the shoe (if they have any)
