We had some leftover burlap, so.....

While cleaning out Joey's great-aunt's cabin in upstate New York, we came across some pieces she let

us take home with us. We adopted this little foot stool because we liked that it has storage and was in

great shape. Now what to use for reupholstering it ....

Burlap of course! We had excess burlap from making the pillows, so all we needed to do was get some

pretty nail heads which we got at amazon.com - check out our store in the "this and that" section to see

exactly which we used.

Basically we had to take apart the foot stool to remove all the old plasticy fabric. Once we were done

we saved everything and used the old covering as our template for the burlap. We used a staple gun to

put everything back in place. When doing this we advise to PULL the fabric as you put it in place for a nice

tight clean finish.

Once all the fabric was in place and secure, we went over the trim with decorative nail heads. Now, we really

liked working with the continuous strip because it's much easier to make it look clean.

It was pretty simple and took about an hour and a half for us to complete.
