Shower curtain folding chair makeover
The vinyl on the chair became damaged and had to be changed. On a limited budget, I used what I had on hand; a vinyl white shower curtain. Using the seat as a template, I left about four inches on all four sides of the chair and cut around the seat. I placed the seat with the top facing down on the cut piece of vinyl, then I took one side and stapled it with 15.00 manual staple gun, until I did it on all sides pulling the vinyl tightly on each side.
I placed the seat back on the folding chair frame, then I left the brown color vinyl that was in tact for the back of the folding chair. I used a plain white vinyl shower curtain liner but there are vinyl shower curtains that have printed designs so cover both the seat and the back.

Bronx Bus Map Boxes
I took some old cardboard small post office boxes and glued vintage 80's NYC subway maps on all four sides of the boxes. I had cut the map in four pieces that were slightly larger to overlap the ends of the sides of the boxes, then I cut a fifth piece to cover the bottom of the box.
I love how they came out, they are great for closet or bathroom storage.

Reuse old vintage maps don't throw them out |
Recovered cardboard box with bus map |
Cover those boxes up with old maps from anywhere |
Love the NYC Bus design on this map |
Added this Bronx map logo on other side |
Kind of a blurry shot map box came out nice |
Great bus map detail |
