Easy DIY Upholstered Bench
Create more seating space in just an afternoon!
If you're looking for extra seating and a beginning DIY project, this will solve both those problems.
This bench was created by my creative contributor Allyson. She needed to fill in a blank wall in her home but she also needed a bench the kids could reach. She completed this project in just a few hours. A full tutorial is located on TodaysCreativeLife.com
To get started, you'll need the following items.
-ellax Shelving unit (the unit I used was discontinued and this is the closest model)
-thin piece of plywood, cut to the dimensions of the top of your shelf
-2 inch piece of foam, cut to the dimensions of the top of the shelving unit
-spray adhesive – do not spray near flames….. read the directions carefully
-heavy duty staple gun
-sticky back velcro, cut into 3 three inch long pieces (need top and bottom)
-scissors
-serrated knife (like a bread knife)
-2 yards of fabric (outdoor or upholstery fabric work best), ironed so there are no wrinkles
-storage baskets
Are you ready?
