I thought I might try to make a foot stool out of a cotton reel, my friend gave me this reel it would have been better to work with had it been wood but I cut it quite well anyway! I then added some card to the bottom
Then glued some wadding on top
I would have liked to have a small print felt but had to use fabric instead which is a little harder to get flat
I will make another often my second attempt is better than the first
I then added some wooden beads to the base
Not bad at all, will be better the next one!
very clever! and to think I had been throwing them out! I know what you mean about the second try being better--it's like you have a better idea of what went wrong and what went right.
ReplyDeleteLove this footstool! The beads set it right off perfectly.

Oh thank you Julie!
ReplyDeleteNeed all the good comments, keeps me going!
I never seem to be happy with my work! common problemI hear!lol
Yep next one! try that later tomorrow perhaps, I try to hurry too much!
I think it looks fab! I am wondering to myself if there is room in my dollhouse living room to try making one myself- I think I might even have a wooden one laying around somewhere (can you tell how much of a pack rat I am?). Great idea!!! Love how it looks with the chair too!
ReplyDeleteFrom a distance hahahaha! I think we are all as you put it pack rats! lol have to collect all the little bits of junk, you never know when you can use them! finding where you put them is the most difficult thing
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing yours! Im sure you could squeeze it in somewhere!
Thank you Kim
