Ottoman
$16.00

I wanted an ottoman but it was really expensive. So I decided to make my own one. 90 % of materials used are recycled.
Materials:
Glue the two cores together with any kind of glue. I used the wood glue in order to economize materials. These cores are recycled materials
Also glue the 16" round cardboard to the rings and the 16" wood to the cardboard. Wait a while until is completly dried.
Spray some 3M glue on the 16" foam and then place it on top of second 16" round cardboard. Cover it with the upholstery fabric and staple the fabric onto the cardboard.
Spray glue on the dried cores and also spray on the foam and place the foam around it
Spray glue on the upholstery fabric and place it around the cores and staple it underneath the wood. The black cloth will help you cover all the imperfections during your stapling.
You can leave it flat or you can place four 1" swivel glides on each side or as high as you want it to look. This is optional
It will look like this with the 1"swivel glide. I really wanted it to have a 2" swivel but I didn't find so I decided to use the 1" one. These are not expensive. Not more than $2.50 a pack of four.
Here it is!!! My first OTTOMAN
