I spend way too much time in Home Goods. Like the cashiers know me by name. Recently they have had a lot of fabulous items from India that have been catching my eye. Case in point, a colorful ottoman. Problem was the ottoman was $70. I kept thinking their had to be a way to make my own version and I was right. As luck would have it I came across a plain Jane square foot stool at Goodwill for $4.

Let me show you how easy this was to make. Here is what you need:

Supplies

Aleene's Tacky Glue

2 Rag Rugs

Scissors

Gold Spray Paint

Square Ottoman

I bought two matching rag rugs for $14. As luck would have it my rugs fit perfectly on 2 sides each. If yours do not you will need to measure and cut accordingly. The first thing I did was actually spray paint the legs of my stool gold. When the paint was dry I used a sponge brush to cover one side at a time with Tacky Glue.

One side at a time I glued, covered in fabric and then trimmed. My rugs were taller than my ottoman so I used scissors to trim the tops. I used the remaining strips I had cut off to cover the top of my stool. I had two long strips that I cut in half and attached with more Tacky Glue. The last thing I did was add some jumbo gold rope trim around the edges. I love the way the ottoman looks and can't wait to find a spot for it in my new house.
