Good morning everyone! In todays video I’m going to show you how to make an easy DIY HANGING CHAIR from a DROP CLOTH. With the weather getting warmer, I thought it would be a great time to share this tutorial that I did almost 2 years ago for my sons birthday. I have been meaning to post this, but finally just got around to making another one and thought I’d film the process from start to finish. I’m creating an entire post for this on my website at homemadeonourhomestead.com so be sure and check that out if you’d prefer written instructions and pictures. Link below for post.
This swing is great because you can hang indoors or outdoors and it can be stored away easily when not in use.
This also makes a great SENSORY SWING for busy little ones.
I hope this video finds you all happy and healthy and getting so many wonderful DIY’s completed.

****Heres the SUPPLY LIST you’re going to need to make this DIY HANGING CHAIR****
(1) drop cloth 9×6′ works great and you can actually make 2 swings from one drop cloth this size. This is the one I prefer: https://amzn.to/2XeQhJZ
