The French Foot Stool

// 44 Comments

Hi, all!

Today I am going to show you the easiest and fastest transformation of a little foot stool I bought at my favorite flea market.

It was “brand new” let’s say because the foam was perfect and it had a plastic wrap to protect.  Even the legs were white so no need to paint them! Sorry for the bad quality of the picture but I was so excited I started the project at night.

I searched for some nice french inspired images and found a lovely one that fit perfectly.

Then I did the same as in my romantic pillow to transfer the graphic into the fabric. You will find step by step instructions here. I stapled it in place and it was done!

Isn’t it cute? What’s your favorite way to transfer images?

Hugs,

Pili

    Transferring is something I haven’t tried. I see so many lovely projects like this, but I’ve yet to attempt one. Pinned and Tweeted.

    Oh my Pili. You make my brain hurt in the best possible way. Every visit is an exercise in ‘how can I do that?’. This is gorgeous. Well done and thanks for sharing at Five Star Frugal this week. Love, Mimi xxx

      Mimi, I try to repurpose everything it’s not useful anymore… Sometimes the idea strikes me all of a sudden, and sometimes it takes months… Anyway, I’m happy you’re visiting 🙂
      Hugs
