A simple-to-understand corner upholstery technique is to fold the corners gift-wrap style, as if you are wrapping a package. While you may have your own take on wrapping packages, the basic method is to tuck under the corner flaps gently at approximately a 45-degree angle so the entire flap of material looks symmetrical with two angled corners. Fold the flap down and staple it several times to secure it to the project. Repeat the folding and flap-making process on the other side of the project, stapling it in the same fashion. here

Upholstering square or rectangular shapes is a fairly straightforward process, until it comes time to secure the corners. Straight or relatively straight lengths along each side of the furniture require stapling a row of staples along the bottom of the project to secure the material. Corners, on the other hand, can be tackled a number of ways; the best way for your particular project may depend upon the thickness of the material being used. Thick upholstery such as leather or vinyl results in thick corners, which require creative stapling and folding techniques.

No matter which folding and stapling method you choose for upholstering the corners of your project, taking care of all the straight areas first ensures the corners end up being symmetrical and equally proportioned. Fold one side of the upholstery material over its respective bottom or back edge over the project, then staple the entire area -- aside from the corners -- stopping about 2 inches away from each corner. The opposite side gets folded and stapled next, using the same technique, followed by the remaining sides. All that's left are the corners -- tackling them one after another keeps your folding technique consistent, rather than doing them one at a time as you work around the piece. more

A different approach to corners creates clean, neat edges for thicker fabrics that may be difficult to staple if they are folded. Smooth the fabric along each side of one corner on the bottom of the piece, pinching the excess fabric up to create an ear or flap shape. Staple along each side of this ear at a 45-degree angle to the corner so the excess fabric sticks straight up with a neat line of staples along either side of it. Trim all the fabric sticking up using scissors or a utility knife, neatening it up as much as possible. This technique also comes in handy if the upholstered object sits within a frame, such as some dining room chairs. more

After all the corners are stapled down to your liking, there may be a bit of excess fabric that is visible if looking at the upholstery job from the side or underneath. Trim excess fabric around folded corner flaps to make them less bulky and unwieldy, using scissors or a utility knife. Eye the entire stapled area so trimmed fabric stays neat and straight as you do so. Place a straightedge along areas you wish to trim to cut the material in a straight line, or use the straightedge and a pencil to draw your line, then cut it. [links]

How do you wrap carpet around all those 90 degree edges as well as the slowly tapering sides as it goes towards the front of the boat?

[Stahovec Jeffrey]

I got it cut the best way I could. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. The only hard part was the inside 90 degree corners. We had to cut a 45 line almost to the corner and then stretch it in to cover the exposed wood. I'm going to glue and contact cement in the morning. more

I guess I'm just going to have to figure it out the hard way in order to get it neat [links]

Wipe the surfaces of the plywood pieces with a towel to remove loose dirt and dust. Cut the carpeting with a utility knife so that it will match the shape of the plywood piece to be covered. Make the carpeting slightly larger than the plywood piece. Apply the carpet adhesive to the plywood in an even layer with a sprayer, brush or trowel. Coat the back of the carpet with adhesive if so directed by the adhesive manufacturer.

Align the carpeting and the plywood piece and place the carpeting on the adhesive-coated plywood. Stretch the carpet tightly and press it firmly down on the plywood. Roll down the carpet with the rolling pin to ensure solid adhesive contact. more

Place staples 4 inches apart across the center length of the carpet. Hit down with a hammer any problem staples that stick up. Trim excess carpeting from the edges of each plywood piece with a utility knife. Assemble the carpet-covered plywood pieces to form the finished item. [links]
