You can make an ottoman with storage room out of an old crate, fabric, stuffing, and board sized to fit the top of the crate. You can find the complete supply list and directions below:
Here is the finished ottoman made from a crate.
If you don’t have an old similar crate on hand like this one, you can pick up unfinished wooden crates at just about any hobby and craft store, or even Walmart for about $10- stain it, paint it, or leave it as is and follow the tutorial to create a padded lid for it.
Measure fabric to fit your board plus about 6″ extra length and width.
The finished ottoman can be used to store blankets, DVDs, dog toys, or games.

Have a question about this project?
Hi Alea! That came out very nice! My question is, where did you find the fabric you used for the footstool cover? I just need to re-cover 4 outdoor chairs, and I'm looking for a bright, cheerful, and reasonably durable fabric. Thanks, R.C.
