Ottoman Footstool - made from scratch. Literally.
Many of the components for this footstool came from the curb. The feet
came from a sofa on the trash, the plywood for the top and bottom rounds
also, the 2x4 braces came from a work site trash pile; the nuts and
washers for the legs came from my neighbor's stash, as did the
decorative nails. Two layers of polyfiber were used to pad the top, and
those were salvaged from a good, used cushion. The webbing, Eiffel
Tower print burlap (on the side), and black wool fabric (on top) are new. I still need to locate
trim for the top edge...I'm thinking black pom pom trim. Oh, and the
thing I'm most pleased about is that the footstool is stuffed with
clean, soft and semi-soft plastic, saved over time from my household use....instead of
it ending up on the landfill. Measurements: 18" in dia. x 15" H..
