My husband has a little rocking chair that was his as a child. It is made of wood and originally had a wicker seat which broke and has since been removed. I would like to refinish it and replace the wicker seat. Any suggestions on how to do this? I don't know where I would even buy wicker material...Thanks for any help!
Google wicker or can chair repair in your area. Some businesses have kits or you may just pay to have them do it if it is that small.
I survived! When i needed to i would rock her in the computer chair, side to side lol but it worked just fine. Either that or i rocked back and forth while sitting on the couch. We managed and now she's about to be 2...and we just got a glider lol oh well we'll use it for the next baby!
Since it is child size, you might consider weaving a seat out of jute rope or a smoother type of rope. It's probably a square shape and all you have to do is weave the rope over and under, first on one side, then the other; similar to making a potholder on a loom. There would probably be online instructions, if you search for 'do it yourself chair seat weaving,' or check youtube for videos. Looking around online might give you ideas for other materials, besides rope; you'll also see suppliers of materials listed. Good luck! (My dad enjoyed weaving chair seats for a hobby.)
