   Using a piece of fabric, cut a 4" circle. You can use a vegetable can to guide you. Cut out same number of fabric circles as the number of felt pieces. (Assuming your chair legs are round.)

   Turn chair over, place a felt pad on bottom of leg. Then place your fabric circle on top and hold around the leg. Take a rubber band and wrap around the leg to hold fabric in place.

4. Repeat step 3 until all chair legs are covered. Rubber bands hold fabric and felt in place, unlike stick on felt pads, they won't fall off.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose a fabric close to the color of your chair legs to be less noticeable.
• Take felt chair floor protectors off when needing washing and put back on.
• Use recycled rubber bands from off of your daily or weekly newspaper delivery.
• Make sure when you wrap your rubber band around chair leg that is completely around the fabric to ensure a better fit.
