This is absolutely fabulous! I really do prefer this design over the original fabric. I would imagine due to the flexibility of the straps it's more comfortable to sit on. It would be great if you could get another few frames so you can have a set; either 2 or 4 would be gorgeous on a patio. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhere'd you get the seat belt webbing from? I live around Ann arbor/canton anywhere close?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! How expensive is the seat belt material?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful comments!
ReplyDeleteI purchased the seat belt webbing on Ebay, $35 for 100 ft.
Quite an affordable hack!
You are amazing!!! I love your creative juice flow!!! I want one now!! How long did it take to put together and how did you start the seat belt webbing flow?
ReplyDeleteI came across this wonderful project by accident but just so happens I work with a seatbelt company that actually sells seatbelt webbing: www.seatbeltplanet.com. And we SO need one of these chairs in our lobby!!!
ReplyDeleteErika- any way you can give more details on how the straps are sewn/glued into place? Is special needle/thread needed? Did you use 100 ft of seatbelt for this, or it that just how much you ordered? THX Great project!
