We love anything that looks expensive, but actually isn’t! This fur ottoman can be easily made using a salvaged footstool, some fake fur, and spray paint! Let’s get started!

Supplies:

1) Footstool (take a look at your local thrift shop or yard sales for one)

2) Spray paint in the color of your choice

3) Leather-looking vinyl

4) Nail head trim

5) Fake fur

6) Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step 1:

Give the legs of your footstool a few coats of spray paint and allow it to dry completely overnight.

Step 2:

Cut and measure the vinyl strips and fit them around the sides of the ottoman. Trim them, leaving a 1/2″ margin. Tuck it under to give it a finished look. Wrap the side piece between the legs to the under side and hot glue in place.

Step 3:

On the top sides of the vinyl strips, trim the corners so it will lay flat and glue it down.

Step 4:

Cut out the fake fur to the size of your footstool and hot glue the edges down.

Step 5:

Add nail head trim to the edges, and you’re done with your gorgeous new ottoman!
