50 Cent Foot Stool Before & After

"How much for the little footstool?"  "I'm really into this fifty cent thing.  Seems like everyone wants to pay fifty cents, so I just started making my answer fifty cents.  How's that sound?"  Ummm, YEAH!!

A few weeks ago, when Maran and I were out junking, we went in to St. Vincent De Paul and they had fill-a-basket of fabric for $1.99.  Naturally, I stuffed as much as possible into my plastic basket.  There were several yards of this super fun purple and white retro fabric!  SCORE!  Originally, I was thinking "oooooo, cute fabric for a dress for Tori!  Pretty please, Grandma Kim??"  But how cute for a little footstool?  There's plenty of fabric left for more projects.  Don't look too close at my upholstery job, it needs a few more tacks!!  Ever done something round?  Sheesh, it requires a lot. of. tacks. or stapes.  or both, if you were me with this project!  Want it?  It's for sale. Contact me. :)    The Shabby Nest

  5. The stool is very cute after you redid it! Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried to cover something round. I'll remember your advice about needing a lot of tacks if I ever do!
