Upcycling a old Arm chair

I had this Armchair for years so comfortable a recliner, but having a toddler and through wear, it was starting to look Shabby,

It needed a good clean so I began by Mixing fabric conditioner (that smelled lovely) with water and washing up liquid and began to clean.

Next I got some spray fabric paint

I then spayed with all colours, to create a tie-dye effect.

This is the end result I am very pleased.
