Upcycled Queen Anne Footstool
When we moved into our house we were had nothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware that a footstool is not a necessity, but it was something we wanted and so to get the things we needed and wanted within our budget we had to start bargain hunting.
I was sitting telling my gran how I'd been searching the charity shops, gumtree and ebay for a Queen Anne footstool to repair and reupholster and how I couldn't found one when, low and behold she had one in her garage! I instantly remembered it when she showed me it and was excited to start the task of covering it!
I had looked online for tutorials since I had never done this before and found this really useful..
When I had stripped off the three layers of fabric on the old stool (my grandparents had been recovering it for a while, one time stapling on the fabric and another time using nails. F.Y.Y. don't use nails they're a nightmare to get out and look really untidy.) I discovered the inside of my stool was nothing like the one in the instructable, infact the cushion was pretty much crumbling away.
