I'm also trying to get used to crafting for public - taking before and after pics. This is actually a project that I did before I created this blog, but I love it. I apologize for the lack of the before picture on this one - you can use your imagination to visualize a yucky unattractive little storage ottoman. It was a dirty brown color and was really just falling apart. I picked it up at a secondhand store for $5, but I knew I could do something with it. I've had it sitting in my bedroom for a while now, just sitting there all gross and brown and blahhhh.
And now....
I LOVE IT!!! Isn't it so cute?! Please disregard the thick layer of dust making a home on my jewelry stand...like I said - I wasn't crafting for public :)
So I took a couple pieces of scrap fabric and reupholstered the top cushion. The patterned fabric is pulled flat across the cushion. The mustard colored fabric was stapled and then gathered and tied using a small elastic band. I finished it off with a cute red and black clip on earring in the center. Right now I'm storing winter gloves, hats, scarfs, etc in it....hopefully they all stay there for a long time. I'd like it if I never had to wear that junk this winter.
Anyway, I have lots more projects to load...the last few have been just some simple little guys. Keep watching for some fun big projects...until then, happy crafting!!
