Hello, just a thought !

If self-adhesive velcro is too bulky - which it might be ! - how about investing in an eyelet punch and a supply of metal/plastic eyelets ?

(a) Fold over all raw edges and iron flat

(b) Use eyelet punch to insert metal eyelets in folded-over edge

(c) Lace all the edges together with ribbon, cord, plaited wool, etc

(d) Lace a couple of extra bits to tie the pads to the chairs

Could be quite interesting and very individual ?

You should be able to buy the punch and eyelets in either a Craft/Sewing shop or a Haberdashery Department in one of the larger stores. The same goes for the lacing. Alternatively ... keep an eye out for someone offering them on Jumbletown !

Lots of luck, Anonany
