Here's a simple way to
create a custom piece of furniture. Coordinate the fabric and design
with your pillows, drapes or other furniture; or, use a contrasting
color or pattern to set the ottoman on its own. This technique also
works great for brightening up an old or worn-out ottoman that you just
can't replace.
Materials:
- Ottoman
- Decorator print
- Upholstery tacks
- Scissors
Directions:
1. Measure ottoman from bottom edge of one side, up across top &
down to bottom edge of other side. Add 3" to get your cutting width.
2. Measure ottoman from bottom edge to front, up across top & down
to bottom edge back. Add 3" to get your cutting length.
3. Cut fabric to size.
4. Fold sides to make folded edges at corners, similar to wrapping
a package.
5. Staple or tack bottom edge on the underside.
6.
Evenly space three tacks at each corner bottom edge.
Tips:
* Center print design on top of ottoman before cutting fabric.
* Use tacks that contrast against your fabric.
* If ottoman is round/oval, measure diameter and width.
