Next I restructured the chair to add/increase the support, by cutting the back rods and adding them to the bottom.

Step 3: Painting

I sanded the whole chair and applied primer and paint to get a smooth surrface.

After the paint is dried, I started weaving seating out of cotton chord. It is a simple basket weave. I also wove a small surface at the bottom to add some sot of storage to the stool.
