Flip the chair over, find & remove any screws holding the backs in place. Remove back (pull or use a hammer), paint chair base, add foam & upholster the top (or leave without padding or upholstery).

SO easy & absolutely no sewing necessary. These bags can be washed & take up very little room so it's easy to keep them in your glove box or under the seat of your car for shopping trips.

This is simple & quick. Use these for hair clips, head bands, to embellish throw pillows or blankets, or as cute bows on gifts. When using a hot glue gun, wear thick gloves to protect yourself from burns.

You can take the drawers & drawer parts from another piece of furniture & can modify & add those parts to a shipping crate to give it more functionality & storage.

Soak steel wool in a jar of vinegar for a day or two. Then, put that concoction over any type of unfinished wood. Some type of chemical reaction happens (Science isn't my thing) to give it an aged look. To further age it, beat the heck out of the wood w/ a hammer or any old object laying around, drop the wood, kick it, etc. You can also use a dry brush to lightly add "old paint" to it.

A more labor intensive way to age wood would be to think about all the finishes it would've had if it were genuinely 50 years old. It would've been sanded & stained first.  Then, banged up A LOT & when it was good and banged up someone would've primed then painted it. Then over the years it would've been painted & repainted.  And finally, it would've been banged up more with a lot of wear on the edges, around knobs, etc.  So follow that pattern--sand it, stain it, beat it up, prime it, paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it, beat it up, use a sander to add wear to commonly touched areas & edges.
