I had a footstool I had previously covered and decided I needed some additional storage, so converted it into a storage footstool.
MDF board
Black hinges
Black gloss spray paint
Foam and fabric
Craftright staple gun
Mouse handsander
Removed cover from footstool I had upcycled a few years ago after purchasing frame from local recycling yard
Painted the base black.
Added an MDF base lined with same fabric I was using to recover the top - this was glued and screwed on.
Recovered the top of the footstool with fabric from Ikea, including lining the inside of lid. Added hinges to allow it to open.
Hi @karenc1,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful project and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
This is a fantastic bit of furniture that is both functional and stylish. The paint compliments the fabric nicely and the hinged top opening allowing it to open to a compartment will certainly be useful for storing bits and pieces.
Congratulations on a job well done.
