Thank you for the tip Fuzzie
Chris
It's understatement to claim that digital photography is cheap.
I suggest that you take many pictures as you take the first chair apart.
There may well be some assembly sequence which does not follow the reverse order of your pictures.
FYI I didn't read every post. Sorry for any redundant answers.
That stuff is usually called Danish Cord or Paper Cord. It's available in Australia if you just google it. I would seek out the appropriate cordage instead of improvising. After all, you appreciate the chairs enough to restore them, so you may as well do it right.
There is also a lot of information on how to reweave it (it's more technical than you might think).
Good luck,
Luke
Thanks Luke, a lot of good info came my way and I'm thanking all. Great Forum
Have a nice one
Chris
Hi Chris, as Luke says, the paper string is readily available. Even Bunnings have it.

Good luck

Thanks David,
I didn't realise that the paper woven string was available so close to home! My wife now also has her eyes on the string for various activities and projects for the elderly.
Thanks again,
Chris
There are many YouTube videos on how to weave a Danish cord seat.
One series by Caleb James is very good:

He also describes the tools you need on his blog:
