So I inherited this ottoman (Thanks Val)…
And couldn’t wait to get my hands on it!
I got some great fabric at Jo Ann’s and went to work. The only things I used were my scissors and my upholstery staple gun. Just like my last ottoman I didn’t measure a thing. I just took off the top, decided how much material I would need and stapled away…
For the bottom I was worried. I had to match up my fabric (the downside to getting prints) and figure out the best way wrap the fabric. Turns out the bottom was really easy. I took off the legs, figured out the fabric situation….without measuring, and wrapped. I stapled on the inside and underside. And then I had this!
It look great. Now, if you take the top off it doesn’t look quite so professional…but who cares?
I love it! I love the mix of textures it brings to our living room.
Anyone have an ottoman they need recovered?
Oh and btw, I only took off the fringe and piping from the original ottoman, I didn’t have to remove the existing fabric so that was nice.
Until next time!
Kara, I love that fabric..you are amazing….as always…it look great!
Thanks Carol…you’re sweet!
This is seriously awesome!!! It looks so great! I can’t wait to see it up close and in the setting of your living room. The fabric is really pretty too. I would love a bookmark made from that!
Thanks, and you can have a bookmark….lucky for you I have leftover fabric, lucky for me you taught me how to make a bookmark!
I love it!!! You are so inspiring!
Oh thanks so much Brie!
So cool! Can I have it back? (just kidding) I have a small box, probably 10″x10″ that matches the ottoman. If you want it, let me know.
So fun, and I love how confident you are to just cut and go..no measuring! Great job!
Thanks! Honestly, I should measure…it would turn out better. I need to start I suppose but really, where’s the fun in that?
