How do I re-cover a divan base?

[ashfordshe]

I have bought some white faux leather to cover an old divan base; but am not quite sure where to start! Any advice welcome.

I recovered one a few years ago, I only did the three sides that can be seen, I just coated the base with Copydex glue and then used a staple gun spaced about equally, to make it really secure along the top and bottom, and then hid them with those upholstry nails/pins which you can get in various metal effects, I used coppery coloured ones, and it looked really effective, it was quick and easy to do...........good luck with it!................
