![]() ![]() The wood part would be no problem to build, but I’m completely lost by the tufting. This ottoman is just what I’m looking for. I just stumbled across your blog and am amazed at how talented you are! I’m quite the DIY girl myself, but I have to bow down to you! Those kitchen cabinets in your condo….wow…the green w/the gold leaf is just too much for words. In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll be hanging out some on my Facebook page, so come join me if you haven’t already! I’ll be gone all next week, and I’ll return on Monday, January 6th. And hopefully, I’ll have time to work on some new projects that I can dazzle y’all with in the new year. For the sake of my sanity and my marriage, I need to step away from the computer and get things under control here. Those things can make anyone look like a pro.Īnd with this DIY ottoman coffee table project finished, I’m going to say goodbye to y’all for a few days, and I’ll see you in the new year! I’ve been working so furiously on projects that my house looks like a tornado went through. The base? That was the easy part with the help of my Kreg Jig. So what do you think? Would you ever tackle this project? The tufting really is the hardest part, but you just have to go into it knowing that it will take lots of patience and that you’ll end up with very sore fingers for a couple of days. The fabric I used was a woven upholstery weight fabric that cost $21.99 per yard from Decorator’s Best. Of course, keep in mind that the fabric is a huge factor in how much this ottoman will cost since fabric varies so widely in price. That’s not too bad for a completely custom ottoman, made the exact size and color you want, with the exact fabric you choose! But if you had to purchase those things, you could still easily make this ottoman for under $350. I also used some things that I always have on hand, like wood glue, staples, finishing nails, etc. 3 yards of 54-inch fabric (Robert Allen Tex Weave in the color Baltic) – $65.97.1 package of piping cord – $4.99 (with 50% off coupon).8-ounce can of Rust-Oleum Dark Walnut stain – $5.50.Buttons – $2.50 (a total bargain because I learned a secret to saving big).Twin size hi-loft batting – $7.50 (with 50% off coupon).3-inch high density foam – $57.75 (with 50% off coupon). ![]()
