Upholstering/Painting Stools



I need some tools to use as kitchen chairs as well as extra seating when we have guests. My little project took less than two hours!

Materials:
- 2 Ikea Oddvar stools (8 euro each)
- Fabric (I used extra pillows that came with our sofa)
- Pillow stuffing
- Stapler
- White spray paint

Step 1: Assemble the body of the stool, without attaching the top.

Step 2: Spray paint your stools and wait for them to dry. If you are using another type of stool make sure to sand it first so your new paint sticks.

Step 3: Place the pillow on the ground, cover it with your fabric and begin pulling and stapling to the stool top. Continue until you are all the way around.

Step 4: Attach the top of stool to your base using the screws that came with the kit from Ikea or your own nails/screws and voila!
