Recycle Ottoman Tutorial

On my last Goodwill run I found an ottoman that was still structurlly sound but just needed a makeover.  And it just happened to be 1/2 price day so it only cost me $4.50.  So check out how I redesigned it.

Supplies:
Scissors
Fabric
Staple Gun
Sewing Machine


 
Measure the height of ottoman. Add enough to wrap to inside and to bottom to staple.
 

The width should wrap around ottoman.  Add seam allowance and stitch together.
 
Slip over ottoman.
 
Pull to inside and staple.  Staple around the bottom.
 
Measure fabric to cover lid.  It should be big enough to wrap around the lid.
Miter corners by stitching on sewing machine.
Pull over lid and staple.
 
Now a "New Look"! and Storage Too!

  1. You know, I am so glad that I found this blog. I have thrown away so many things that I could have saved money giving a make over. Thanks!
