My DIY Ottoman


I'm a multi-talented female who just likes to help myself, I find it hard to ask someone to help me as I like to try and do things myself.

I like to do projects around the house as I like to see color and my self made pieces come to their final stage as I see them as beautiful pieces of art.

This project consists of two Ottomans which I decided to do to add more color to my living area and sectional.

And this project was not that expensive as it was just under $20 dollars and that was to purchase the fabric of my choice.

The wood came from the workmen that were doing work around the apartment and the legs I got off a bed base that I didn't want, which by the way saved me so much because the feet are really expensive if I had to buy it from the store.

And I can say that I was so favored because all the wood I got to used was already cut to side,  so it made my work easy as all that I had to do was securely put them together.

Then I add the feet and some sponge that I recycle from the base and used my staple gun to secure the sponge in place and I then covered it with some fine fabric.


The legs were varnished and I didn't like the color I'm a white paint lady as white just makes all colors pop :)

So I decided to used some paint that I had laying around and paint the legs in white, which by the way really made the Ottoman look even better.


So the final touch was putting on the fabric and I found the perfect color fabric to put on my ottoman :) bright and pretty the way I like it.


The finished product and I didn't spend much to do it :)

And I would encourage individuals to try a thing or two when it comes to making things, whether it's in cooking , painting, sewing, etc you can do it if only you will try :)

My artistic side is flowing high and yours can too :)

And this ottoman would have cost me a few hundred dollar if I had bought it, but I didn't spend that became I did it myself :)) and that is the best part of creating things, as you know you did it and you can admire your beautiful work :) 

Happy creating :)
