Part 19 - Webbing the Arms

This stage will provide structure and support within the arms, which is important for both comfort and durability.

1. The webbing will be attached between the top and bottom of the frame that makes up the arm of your chair. If your chair already had webbing, replicate the positioning.

1. Your chair might have had existing jute webbing, in which case you may want to replace this like for like. I'll be using plastic webbing as it's really thin and won't add any bulk.

1. Begin by taking the end of your piece of webbing and fold it back on itself about an inch. Pivot the long piece so that it's at a slight diagonal angle.

1. Starting in the bottom corner, secure the webbing with permanent staples so that the long piece is still at a diagonal angle reaching into the void of the arm frame and towards the top section.

1. Hold the webbing over the edge of the top section of the frame and pull as tight as you can, then secure with permanent staples. If you are using jute webbing, you will need to use a web stretcher.

1. Fold the webbing back on itself at a diagonal angle to reach the bottom section of the arm frame again. Feed it through the frame temporarily so you're able to pull it tight, then secure with staples.

1. Fold it back on itself again to reach the top section of the arm frame and continue to repeat, working in a zigzag motion across the entire void until you reach the other side.

1. Once you've finished, cut the webbing slightly long, fold it over to create a neat folded finish and secure with staples.

1. The strip of webbing nearest your inside back needs to run parallel with the shape of your back.

1. Repeat this process for the other side of the arm frame until the void is enclosed all the way along.

1. Do exactly the same with the other arm.
