I've done it again! Remixed not just one but two more ottomans for you guys! If you forgot the first Ottoman Remix go HERE!
I also used many of the tips mentioned in that post again with this project!
I will mentioning them again throughout this post, but without further ado here they are all finished up!!


Here they are before I worked my magic!

This was the fabric that I used:

{Love the colors of this sheet! I am in the process of re-decorating our TV room in the color scheme of: Celery Green, Orange, and Yellow. So this worked out perf don't you think?!}
Want to remix some of your ottomans?
Here is what you will need:
~ Ottomans of course ;)
~ Fabric of your choosing
~ Staple gun
~ Sewing machine
~ Exact-o-knife
~ Rotary cutter or scissors
~ Measuring tape
Here is what you will need:
~ Ottomans of course ;)
~ Fabric of your choosing
~ Staple gun
~ Sewing machine
~ Exact-o-knife
~ Rotary cutter or scissors
~ Measuring tape
Here's how its done:
1. Remove old fabric from the base by using an exact-o-knife and some elbow grease ;).
2. On one of my ottomans the foam underneath the fabric was green so I had to cover it in a white felt. This is optional due to what kind of fabric you will be using to cover your ottoman with whether the color would show through or not.
3. Measure the dimensions of your ottoman plus add a seam allowance, I usually do my seams at 1/4 of an inch on each side. Also make sure you have an allowance for being able to staple the fabric to the base of the ottoman, to be on the safe side 2-3 inches.

4. Cut fabric out using your rotary cutter to the measurements determined in the previous step.

5. Sew all of the pieces together on your sewing machine, all of my pieces were done in squares since they were cube ottomans so that made it easy. If you want to just recover your ottoman without sewing just pretend like its a present you are wrapping and cover it in that fashion. For a step by step go HERE!
6. Cover your ottoman with the slip cover just created in the previous step, and fasten the left over fabric flaps to the base of the ottoman using a staple gun.
7. Marvel at your awesome work!!



So what do you guys think??? Much, much better right??! This really was so super easy anyone can do it, don't be intimidated mmmk! If you have any questions or comments about this project please let me know I would LOVE to help! Hope you all are having a great week! Love, love.

i covered an ottoman recently, too and I love how easy and cheap it was! Cute fabric - very old fashioney and sweet!
ReplyDeleteI saw your first photo and laughed because it brought back memories of my brothers' childhood bedroom. About 35 years ago my brothers' sheets were that exact pattern. They had those exact floral sheets on their beds covered by a camouflage bed spread. 70's decorating was magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThose turned out awesome! Haha! I think we had sheets in that flower pattern when i was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI use sheets for all kinds of things too! (even table cloths and curtains) Good job! Thanks for joining us for Anything Related!

Ha, ha! I have that SAME Sheet set! I can't remember when I got it (sometime in the '90's?) but, I still use the pillowcases. The sheets are queen size, and we now have a king size bed. I think it came from JC Penney.
ReplyDeletelove the fabric!

OMG I totally got those sheets from my MIL 26 years ago as a wedding present! Wowzers, talk about take me down memory lane...I must say in 1984 I thought they were godawful but they look pretty sweet on that ottoman. I'm wishing I hadn't donated them to Goodwill.
