I made this for my Mom. She deserves a comfy and stylish place to prop up her feet.
I found this wonderful crewel fabric remnant at Chelsea Design House in Columbus. I love the rich texture and jewel-toned colors. The bird and bugs are playful, but the fabric has a very classic look.
A whole bag stuffed full of fabric samples costs $5. For real.
The wood base came from a broken tray table we had. $0.
The curvy brass legs came off of another footstool that had broken. The old footstool cost about $8 from Goodwill.
The stuffing is a cheap pillow.
You may be thinking, "Wow Karyn. You are cheap."
My Mom calls it "thrifty."
And she taught me all I know about thriftiness.
Happy Mothers Day!
