Bamboo Chair
How could I give my old papasan chair a lift?
I have a papasan chair that I've had for about ten years. The larger supports of the "bowl" part are fine, but the smaller bamboo (or rattan?) supports that spiral around to the middle are broken.
I used to just duct tape them back when one broke, but now that I share an apartment with some rowdy college guys, they've become more duct tape than bamboo.
I'd rather try and fix this somehow rather than just throw it away. It still has years of use in it!
Does anyone have any ideas for how I could replace the smaller supports? I had an idea that I could remove all of them, and then maybe tightly fasten a rope between the larger sticks in a spiral to imitate the old bamboo.
Do you think this would work, or do you have any other ideas?
Thanks!
I used copper tubing that you can get in the home improvement center. It is flexible enough that you can bend the ends around the large bamboo supports or stick it into the holes that the small supports were in and glue it. You don't feel it when the cushion is in place. Over time it started to look really cool as it turned to a patina green. I also painted mine several times, for a while it was red and then I painted it black and it looked like a new chair both times.
