Give the chair a good cleaning to get rid of any dirt or grime that might prevent the spray paint from sticking. 

Step

Apply the spray paint evenly on the back side of the chair. Allow to dry in between each coat until fully covered. Once dry, flip over and repeat. Allow the chair to dry for a few hours before proceding.

Cutting long strands of yarn, simply tie a knot to begin and wrap the yarn around sections of the chair frame and base.
