great job! i learn the same way you do. i watch a video or two then see what i have to work with then just go for it. sometimes bad words are said until i figure it out though! lol!

Love it!! Thanks for the tutorial.. sending love all the way from Houston Texas USA

Wow! These are so good. In every way. Color, design, execution are all spot on. I would buy these for my home any day.

I learn best that way, too. They look fabulous! Thank you for sharing it because it demos how tricky it really is to get it right! (PS-I also say ratTAN, lol.)

Cheers Twitch. Great video. I have to replace rattan on a coffee table. Very useful. Thanks.

Hi I am pattyv. I liked how you did the caning. If you use a mister with water to the chair with the lose cane it has a chance to tighten up when it dries up. Great job take care.

They both look great!

Great job girl!!!

I have two chairs that I need to re-cane and you’ve given me the courage to get started on it!! 😊

Looks great Twitch. Well done. 👍

Morbid! 🥰 Nice work with the rattan too :)

Thanks for showing us your process. It has inspired me to redo my dining chairs. When I finish everything else LOL)

Great work Twitch, thanks for the video now I’ll be brave enough to use what I have ❤

Wow thanks for sharing ...sometimes I also learn best by trying and making mistakes or struggling and getting to a easier way for me...not necessarily the " correct way" there is many roads that leads to Rome...I love your straight and unapologetic way of doing things and always being open to learn new things...greetings from a very warm South Africa 🇿🇦

I think you did an amazing job Twitch... especially sharing with us is so kind of you.....I Myself Am Scared to Try my hand at cane/rattan and again You Did an awesome job 🥰👍

Oh wow, I only showed you this afternoon my little table and the top part I’m going to put rattan on, which I’d also bought from Kmart (where else 🤷‍♀️) and wallah. Mine is a very simple job but yours…..gorgeous. Looks stunning.

I think you did a GREAT Job‼️ I Miss our KMarts here in the US.😏 didn’t know there was such a thing as Plastic Cane. Thanks for the info and I Love your Videos❣️

Personally I think you did a fantastic job. Those chairs look awesome now. Makes me feel that I could tackle a chair or two now when before I've been a wee bit intimidated by it. Tfs

Hello Twitch. For your first time, I think you did pretty darn good. Mine wouldn’t have look that good….lol. Well done!🥰🥰🥰

It works thank you very much I did it 3 of my ch it works

Good on ya Twitch For giving it a Go ! Brilliant job girl 👏👏 I’m Certainly going to try this on cupboard doors ! And From Kmart Too ! Sure Hope they still Have it when I Go there ! How Long ago did you buy it from Kmart 🤔

What a shame about the fabric. It was really pretty!! But a great choice on brown stripes. Looked perfect with the finish on the chairs!! You rock!!!

Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this and didn’t have the courage! I’m going to be looking for chairs to replace caning on now! I’ve used caning on flat surfaces when I could use staples . Here in the US caning is so expensive - I’d love to be able to get some for $13 a roll! Can the plastic caning be painted? Love all your videos!

I'm surprised KMart didn't sell the reed spline to go along with the cane for your project. Nicely done.

really cool. im looking for a solution for my window, theres a 20cm "shelf" sticking out of the window, i want to make a frame to protect the plants from falling.. might be the direction

Thanks Twitch, love your stuff! Beginner’s question: could that faux cane webbing be painted or ‘washed’. Was thinking to start with some kind of primer bond paint & then mineral paint over that? Hope that makes sense! Cheers Kell

If you spray the cane now with warm water it might shrink a little when dry and take out those wrinkles. ❤

Hectic

As a 5th generation caner who was taught by my grandfather fifty years ago, I am somewhat horrified by your technique. There are dozens of great videos online to tell you to do it correctly. I know you are 'happy' about it, but years from now you will look back at your work and wish you had consulted someone with experience. Three huge things would have made a difference. #1 Soaking the sheet of cane would have taken out the slack at the end. Spread out in a bathtub with a couple inches of water would have taken most of the curl out of the sheet. #2 Cut the cane edges past the outside of the groove and tap the cane in with wooden wedges. #3 After adding a bead of glue and tapping the 'spline' (the piece that holds the cane in the groove) into place, trim off the excess cane on the outside of the groove with a utility knife. Another tip: Miter the corners of the spline- like the sides of a picture frame. These steps are all easily available online and are very easy to implement. Learning by doing is good. Doing something badly not so much. Good luck on your next attempt.
