How to Repair Vinyl Furniture

Vinyl furniture creates the look of leather without the expensive price tag. The downside of vinyl is it is not as durable as leather. This makes it more susceptible to holes and tears. If you find a small hole in your furniture, there is a simple and inexpensive way to remedy the problem. A trip to the local fabric store and a bottle of vinyl adhesive is an easy way for even a novice do-it-yourselfer to fix the problem.

  Cut the edges of the hole to make an even circle.

  Push the vinyl fabric underneath the hole, taking care not to create an even larger opening.
