DIY Ottoman

Before:


Steps:
1. sand, prime & paint the table.
2. drill holes through the table for tufting.
3. position foam & fabric on top.
4. tuft buttons through holes we drilled earlier.
5. pull fabric and staple to the bottom of the table.

After:



Even baby approves :)

Budget Breakdown:
table - $20 on Craigslist
sandpaper - owned
primer - owned
paint - owned
buttons - $1 from JoAnn's
1 yard of fabric - $10 from JoAnn's
foam - $12 from JoAnn's
thread - owned
Total (roughly) - $43
Pin It!

Hi Kim!
Your coffee table turned ottoman looks fantastic! I have a few similar ideas stashed for one that I would like to make for our family room. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and becoming a new follower...AND for leaving such kind comments! I've become a little slack on posting lately. Hopefully here soon I'll find my grove again. Take care, Val

That is really pretty. I picked up two ottomans that were at Victoria Secret. They are amazing but very badly damaged. I am going to redo them. Glad you posted this.

I'd love to have you share this and any other of your amazing posts over at my linky party Create and Share. It posts every Wednesday. We open the party Tuesday evening at 8 pm for those who like to link up early. Hope you stop by... http://thetrendytreehouse.blogspot.com/2011/09/create-and-share-features-too.html

This is great! I just found a table similar to this on the side of the road but the top is completely ruined. I was going to try and replace it but this is a much better idea! Thanks for the awesome inspiration!
