Place your fabric front side down on the table, then the Dacron/Foam cushion, and finally place your seat cushion on top of that, front side down.

You will also need to make sure that you mark the top and the bottom of both your seat and your fabric, so that all of your kitchen seats are identical.

Now, we get to the fun part, STAPLING! You will need your air compressor and a short/long nose stapler attachment. Begin stapling from north to south, and then east to west, making sure to pull the fabric as tight as possible as you go along. Please avoid stapling the corners. You will want to work your way towards each corner, starting from the inside and working your way to all four corners. Many times you will have excess fabric, especially on the corners. You will need to cut away some fabric so that the bottom of the seat is as smooth as possible.

Rinse, wash and repeat these steps until you have completed all of your kitchen chairs. Now, you will need upholstery dust cover fabric to go on the bottom of each seat. Make sure to measure twice, because you can only cut once. Once you have everything measured, staple the dust cover on the bottom of each kitchen seat.
