D.I.M: Revamp Stool/Leg Rest

We brought home some tiny stools from "somewhere" and the cover looked really old.

So I thought why not a make-over since I have extra fabric. Well actually I have a lot of it. Since I am thinking to close my Sewing Monster, I thought perhaps I should just utilize all the cloth around my house. So first step is to remove the "legs" from the stool.But someone else wanted to help. Well, since he is so sexy (cos he is buttnaked) I let him "help" for a while.
Oh yeah... that's how you remove the leg from the stool.
Then you measure the top and cut a square fabric.
Then you rip off the bottom skin.
and you use the heavy duty stapler and stapler the top. Stapler all around and secure it.

Then, cut a layer of fabric which is big enough to cover the bottom part of the stool. Flip it the wrong side and stapler all around it. When you are done, just pull the fabric over and secure the bottom of the stool. And screw the leg back on. And tadaaa...



You can't have too many of this kind of animal print in the same room (my personal opinion) otherwise the room would look so "stuffy". Initially I sat on my red sofa and placed my leg above this leg rest and asked Jayden to help me snap a pic.
As you can see, disaster happened. I think my thigh just shattered the lense.
Ah well...Probably this year I can teach him how to use my dslr.
