1M Views, woohoo! Nice continued work on the Chanel, Ross.
Thanks for the kind words! It's hard to turn lumps of coal like us into diamonds, but thanks to Ty, we can sparkle the way we were meant to!
@@ParacordPlanet 🤣
He is basically showing the traditional mexican chairs and pretending to be creative
@@gatoslokosforeverbut I appreciate the tutorial I have these exact chairs that are falling apart and was looking for a way to keep the frame and add some color to my deck!
@@iamvandoza in Mexico they are designed with Huichol patterns, absolutely beautiful, very ornamental. Such wow. You can buy them cheap and they're made of metal frames (very thin) wrapped in cord, it is resistant and at the same time it kinda feels like you float a bit.
Here’s a tip to make your weaving a bit easier.
In your local Walmart or craft store yarn section, purchase the longest size “K/6.50mm” Tunisian or double ended crochet hook you can find.
Once you have your warp (teal cord) completed, use the hook to weave the weft (pink cord) through by the loop end. It will make the process much easier for you.
Thank you for sharing your craft with everyone.
Any crochet hook is useful for this.
@@olenkamoura
Sure. But Tunisian hooks are much longer. I have even made a few for myself & friends, using 1/4” & 1/2” 3 foot crafting dowel rods found in most craft stores. One of those would span the entire width of the chair.
@@Nacho-Mamma Thanks a lot for your explanation 👍👏❤️. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Awesome tip! Thanks!
Exactly what I was going to suggest!!
Excellent explanation on this! I have started a chair but a little confused on the side weaves 😟 This video definitely has given me the visual I need!!! Thank You so very much!! Now if I can just have a little of your confidence I know I can finish it tomorrow 👍
Glad you did this video. I have a couple of patio chairs that the weather and the dog have taken their toll on. I’ve been wondering about redoing them in paracord so very timely video for me.
Just what I was looking for as I have 2 chairs that need refurbishing. Thanks, very helpful.
Nice. You inspired me to replace and re-weave the webbing of some outdoor chairs I've had for many years. Thanks.
This is excellent instruction. I have those exact chairs and just thought today about how to do exactly what you have done. So thrilled to have found your video. Hats off to you. I absolutely cannot believe all the horrible disrespectful comments. Just focus on those of us that truly appreciate the time it took to show us this ❤
Been looking for something like this for a few months now. So glad I found this video. Very helpful and seems easy enough to follow.
Me too! My neighbor reminded me to go on TH-cam thank God

💯👌👌👌🌹
Oh my it came out so beautiful, I have a patio set and the material got all discolored and broke I am sure it will take me four times as long as you did on every chair but it is worth it. Thank you very much
That wS astonishing. Im dragging out my vintage deck chairs. I only dream I could do what you did. But thank you-this video is going to be my template…. I’ve looked at a few and this is the loveliest
I got an old school sun chair I was hoping to fix and look!!!
I'm gonna go for it! Summer here I come! Thanks
Thank you so much for taking your time out to make this video was very informative and not learned a lot thank you
I have nearly identical chairs. After 15+years of Colorado weather, they need reweaving.
Thank you
Good step to step demonstration. Good workmanship, Thanks for the video, I have learned a new thing today, want to try in on my own hope it works.
Just what I was looking for. thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
I tried this today and it turned out nicely. Thanks for showing the constrictor knot up close. Definitely had to do that one multiple times. The cost of para cord probably is more than a new chair, but it’s more about the fixing and diverting from landfill part. I used 200 ft for the warp and 100 ft for the weft. FYI.
I did a chiar like your, i used two ysrs sticks for the bottom and back. One stick to open the space, the second one to push the paracord through. Thanks for the idea.
Wow!! It looks great! You did a wonderful job.
Perfect, absolutely just what I was looking for. I have two very similar chairs where the woven plastic has failed and I didn't want to thrown them away. I couldn't figure out what to use to reweave the seat NOR how to attach it to a metal bar. All the other videos on weaving seats pertain to wooden seats and so attaching the weaving material would be done by tacking it to the wood...obviously that wouldn't work for this seat. Thank you, you've solved the two issues I couldn't figure out. What to use (that would be OK if caught in the rain) and how to attach it to a metal chair. Thumbs up all the way.
same reason im here lol
Me too!
thank you for the video, straight to the point and good tips 👌
Really cool project, it came out great!
Just find 4 of them in the garbage and yes Iam gonna knitter them soon the metal frame is in perfect shape!!! Thanks for the tips!!!
Sweet I can’t wait to refurbish my patio chairs
Knot description was great.
Very nice job! Thank you for sharing!
Nice vídeo aula maravilhosa ficou linda está cadeira show de bola parabéns irmão
This reminds me of a potholder weaving kit that I received as a child. One thing I thought of while watching you do this was that the weaving kit I received, had a long metal hook that you could weave in and out of the weaving to pull in your loops. You could probably make a long hook by using a metal coat hanger. I actually have metal frame chairs that had wicker material on them. The wicker has broken up from the weather and I wanted to keep the chairs but I didn’t know how to repair them. I am not sure I can do this project, but I might give it a try.
Exactly my thought
Yo hice 6.sillones.@capulco... observo que siempre hay para mejorar..nada del otro mundo.... preciosos quedó
Great. I have ideas now how to replace broken down wicker on my patio metal frame chairs. And match color of awnings! I’ll keep you posted T
Excelent !!! I loved it. Thanks and kisses from Brazil
Muy buena propuesta!!! Muy prolijo el trabajo,muy buena explicación, gracias, desde Argentina te saludamos
Thank you so much for teaching.
That Was Incredible...
recommended this to my grandma she loves your chair 🤣
This feels like a college paper.
Today I will be teaching you something I just learned.
Cool idea not sure I could do it but it is a fun way to make something look different
Very well explained, thanks
I thought you were silly to use 2 diff colors but it really looks awesome. Great thanks
I think he did that to show how it's done. The cords going across show up better in pink. But it looks good. Makes me wonder if you could do a plaid design with different colors of cord. More knots, I know. More time in the process, but the design would be worth it. I would like to try that.
Excellent job 👌👌 thanks for sharing
Neat tip here, try using a wide toothed comb to push the rows back, speeds up the process. Thank you for the video!
Thank you!
Your voice is so good to ear 😊
Thank you for sharing best idea.
Thank you very much for this video.
Oh Dude, you had me lost on the knots. New chair for me. Great and informative video though.
Yup, that wasn't clear...
Thank you! I will do this.
GOOD JOB.
I am from India and I do it in different methods.
VERY NICE
I did the same to my chairs using rope and I wish i found your video beforehand, i went single strand and it took forever to weave
Thank you for showing a very useful video. I happened to work on the same patio chair ,yet I simply had no idea how to start it out. Would it be possible to provide written methods along with pictures for each step of doing the whole project? Good luck on your next video 👍
Hola, me gustó mucho. Lindo trabajo, hermoso resultado y combinación de colores.
Te felicito
Evelyn CastroTodo lo que el hizo fue CASI perfecto. Lo terrible fue el afan materialista cuando destruyo una silla nueva. Solo por demostracion. Eso me molesta y me da sentimientos encontrados. ya que en cada producto destruido. Le cuesta la vida a nuestro planeta. Esta destruccion de silla sin razon. Le costo minimo 10 o mas arboles a la tierra. Por el vinil destruido y por 1000 pies de cordon nuevo de paracord. Ahi. La inteligencia, hace reversa. Saludos
Expensive but nice end result. Weavers tools would be beneficial for making this easier to do.
Really helpful. Wish I knew how to estimate the amount of cord needed! We are now refurbishing an old rocking chair and 4 chairs like yours. Great.
Olá parabéns amei seu trabalho
Excellent. Can match different frame with the color of cord. Ignore the salty trolls. That stripped material didn't have a chance in the solar flare generation. I've been looking for this solution for ages.
My brother has a chair like this and it's falling apart and I want to reweave it for him. Thank you kindly for this video
❤️ Excelente técnica 🌹
wow man this looks so nice. title should be "how to turn a boring chair into a masterpiece with paracord."
Nice tutorial
Very intuitive
Well done!
Beautiful 🤩
Very helpful
If you really want to upcycle, use a braided rag rope method, use old clothing pants and shirts (adult) work well or old sheets, any fabric will work. I would suggest to use different types of fabric, colors ect. tshirt rope could work but having tshirt with other more stiffer material would work better. can be very colorful chiar, and much cheaper than having to buy something.
definitely gonnado this
Great vid!
It's worth noting here that a 1000 ft spool of paracord is roughly 50$ US, and one of the chairs destroyed for the demonstration in this video can be bought for anywhere between 25$ to 40$. If you want a new chair, this is not exactly a money-saving endeavour (plus all the time put into it), nor is it a profit-maker (unless working on commission).
However, if you want to invest three days of time and 50$ of materials in a personalized hand-woven chair for yourself and your patio, go for it.
For a slightly thriftier option, 1/8 inch twisted nylon or diamond-braided polypropylene will run you about 30$ for 1000 ft. And slightly thicker cord will decrease the amount required... at some relative cost to comfort.
Please share a link showing that chair for $25, I need a couple.
I was trying to look for some cord at this price and I couldn't find anything for less than 4 times the price ($50 for 1000'). I wonder if it's inflated right now.
And if you live out side of the US where prices are ummm very expensive when it comes to the said used cord when I priced it up it cost $120 just for 500 meters of cord as for the chairs they are around $150-200 for a set so I went to the tip and got a couple there for free and using something a lot cheaper for cord which may or may not last for very long out here in the Outback with the high UV we have here and high temps getting to around 56°c in the height of full summer.
As for the weaving I prefer the 1 to 1 weft cording than the double he was using.
@@dawsie We have this chair for $10-12, or $22-24 for a set of 2 chairs and a metal/glass table. (DK)
...but I have to pay $400 for 500 meters of 4mm paracord.
I used to be absolutely flat broke and even now when I can afford my furniture I about had an aneurysm when he destroyed that brand new pristine chair. Not going to subscribe because I don’t want to end up in the hospital. 🤣 This would be ok for grandma’s old scratchy lawn chair that needs a redo, perhaps.
you can also use the yard stick to pull the cord back through the weave. just loop it through the hole on the end, or take a piece of scrap and tie a loop on the end and catch your contrast color with that.
You could use that cord to macrame a back and seat on chair too.
Oh, Wow! A good use of macrame.
love it just like carpet weaving what about the arms would look nice too just like the back classy job
This is brilliant, so glad I found this before chucking my patio chairs! Roughly how long did it take to complete the chair? Thanks for the Vidio 😊
Y como se llama lo que ase la silla
😍was just thinking about redoing chairs? A wide toothed comb would be a good tool for pushing back.
Nice diy
How crazy is that!? I just got three of those exact type chairs for $10! I can’t wait to try this method to reweave them!
Think I have same chairs…good vid
Brilliant!
Awesome tutorial. I just hope I have enough rope. I have something similar to paracord but a tad wider and flatter.
Love it👍♥️
Just finished a seat for my former vinyl-strap chair. Great tutorial, although I did find my most efficient method was just shoving the active line through the far side of the weave, pushing it up the weave, and then folding over the end of the string and "stitching" between the strands, rather than using this yardstick method. Maybe my weave was too tight but I did give the yardstick a good try before switching. And toward the end, I found it necessary to stitch 2-3 strands or even one at a time and then apply pressure to tighten it, otherwise I couldn't get it straight.
How many feet did you end up using per chair?
@@kategardner5678 I'm really not sure. I have another chair I'll need to do soon so I can try keeping better track of that one. But we have 400ft of black line and at least that much green for the second chair. Figured that should be plenty.
Thank you!
Thanks for helpful video...
Do you need to do the cord double? Or will it have same effect with a single cord?
I have probably done at least a hundred chairs. I still have the first one that is around 30 yrs old. I am always looking for old chairs at garage sales. The macrame store use to have heavyduty frames for sale.
Feliz Ano Novo com muita saúde e paz para todos nós 🌹🍻
nice. the plastic on these disintegrates, was going to put wooden slats on one
🇹🇷🇹🇷harika oldu elinize sağlık🤲🤲💯
Gracias niño 🥰
Great video, it is the only out about this type of DIY project. Question about paracord, does it stretch out and does it fade in the sun?
Nice! I would only repaint the frame in a matching colour to the chords... maybe white.
Good idea!
Very nice
Awesome👍
wow amazing
Is there a video on doing a constrictor knot at the end? I am having a hard time figuring it out since you do not have the end to wrap it around?
Excelente!👍
How do you estimate how much cord is needed? I have a larger frame to work with...
salut ton tuto est super merci je te donne un pousse
Muy buen video bien explicado como debe Ser lo único q no capte xq no hablo inglés pero tuvela capacidad de captar la explicación
Muy bueno. Very good.
Congratulation for working
Nice. New sub.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nice
Nice thanks...
I have the very same chair but what you have to do is way to much work for me... Still, YOU did a great job... 👍
this could be a really nice way to repair/ upgrade the seats in my dad's old aluminium canoe!
Definitely! I love that idea.
