@@tigrehermanobut 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.
@@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.
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 ❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 👍
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
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.
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.
It's not upcycling if you ruin a perfectly good chair for the frame, at best thats hacking it and at worst its stupidly wasteful. Paracord it AFTER a good long life, not before.
Also he’s absolutely terrible at explaining how to weave. You would be better off and learn more by watching hand textile weavers. And if you plan your weave and measure before hand like with certain textile weaves you won’t run out of cord and need to make the unnecessary knots (like in the corners where you could wrap it and hide it in on the underside of the frame in the pink wrap) which could cause weak points and un raveling. Just a thought though.
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.
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.
@@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.
Not familiar with working with this type of cord so I was wondering... When you cut the cord, does it tend to unravel? How do you stop that? Is the cord made of something you could singe with a flame to melt it a little to keep it from unravelling? I would like to try that on a chair I have of a different style (when it gets shabbier of course).
Paracord is a tube of nylon fabric over nylon threads, if you want it to "flatten out" you can pull the white threads out. Easily seal the cut end with heat, just don't catch it on fire!
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.
Tengo 2 sillas muy parecidas y hoy he recibido las cuerdas para hacer el tejido, incluso los colores son similares. Pero creo que voy a hacer un diseño de triángulos que he visto en otro canal. Me gusta más y es más rápido. En el otro canal usaban agujas de ganchillo grandes para lonudos

A tunisian crochet hook could help weaving. They are LONG crochet books. And you cannot get a large sized hook. The roundness would slide in tight spaces.

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
Cool idea not sure I could do it but it is a fun way to make something look different
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
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.
Expensive but nice end result. Weavers tools would be beneficial for making this easier to do.
Mil gracias por compartir su trabajo saludos desde Chile ❤
😍was just thinking about redoing chairs? A wide toothed comb would be a good tool for pushing back.
Your voice is so good to ear 😊
Very cool! Takes a lot of patience!
Thanks! Yeah, we felt really accomplished once we got it done.
Nice! I would only repaint the frame in a matching colour to the chords... maybe white.
Good idea!
Oh Dude, you had me lost on the knots. New chair for me. Great and informative video though.
Yup, that wasn't clear...
This feels like a college paper.
