Day 26 - Ugly Ottoman to Pretty Ottoman

Day 26 - Re-doing an Ottoman

A friend of mine had this Ottoman sitting around here house she really didn't like, need or have any use for, so she asked me if I could use it. At first I thought that is a horrible thing why would someone ever try to do that to anything, that material is ugly, than I thought ehhh what the h*ll I can always reupholster it

So that's exactly what I did, we don't exactly have to many places to get fabric around here and I'm impatient so I didn't want to order it online and wait to come in or, it would get to be one of those I'll do it later projects lol

Anyways I went to the craft store to check out there selection of fabric, and found some jean colour stretchy material that the lady said would suit it just fine. I ended up get a yard and 1/4 just to make sure I had enough.

With the materials I needed at hand
1 and 1/4 yard fabric
staples
staple gun
two sided tape
scissors
Velcro
I set out to try my hand at this

How I did this-
1. Measured the fabric for all the areas I needed it, and cut them all to size I wanted, each piece I made sure was a few inches bigger than needed on each side so I would have rom to play with the fabric
2. Took all the ugly fabric odd the Ottoman (I found an even uglier Ottoman underneath lol)
3. Took the cushion off the top. Flip it upside down (This one has wheels on it and depending how close to the sides they are you may have to take them off, I didn't the staple gun fit nicely beside them)
4. Starting with the 2 longer sides I stapled the fabric to the underneath lip making sure it was nice and tight, I also wrapped about 3 inches of the fabric around the corners and stapled that to the shorter sides
5. I flipped the Ottoman back on the right side and stapled the fabric tight to the top.
6. I did the same step with the shorter ends of the Ottoman, making sure it was nice and tight. when pulling the pieces up the sides of it, I folded the sides in so you couldn't see any cut sides and it wouldn't fray later. I lined up those sides with the corners so now it has a nice little seem on each corner.
7. Once the bottom of it was done. I moved onto the top pillow. I laid the pillow in the middle of the fabric again brought the fabric up and around the 2 longer sides first and taped it onto the cushion nice and tight
8. Than did the same steps with the shorter side making sure it was all tight and folded the sides to match the sides of the bottom half.
9. I than put the Velcro on the bottom and top half so that the cushion would stay in place

 

First time reupholstering I think it turned out pretty good

Now to see if it with stands 2 new kittens a teenage boy and a mechanic hubby lol

So I tried it this morning up that's right breakfast of champions chocolate!!! It actually wasn't that bad, I dipped strawberries in it, but I think it would taste nice on ice cream.

This turned out amazing, wellllll a lot better than what I thought it would anyways.

 

How I made this

2. Decided on the colours I was going to use, and the layout I decided to use

3. Painted the 2 completely brown and the other 2 completely blue, and I let them dry

4. Put them in the pattern I wanted them in, nice and snug.

5. Took the white paint and splattered it in a circle pattern and again let it dry.

6. I haven't put it on the walls yet, so I put it in the pattern I'm using on the wall just to see what it looks like and took a picture.

 

Now I want the room /walls finished in the room I plan on putting it on, wonder how long it will take to get the hubby to finish the walls, (I don't know if I've mentioned in past posts, we bought a house and are redoing the entire house top to bottom)

Items needed:
 
For the tutu-

2 rolls tutu material
2-3 feet each of ribbon

TUTU-

1. Put the 2 pieces of ribbon together
2. Cut the tutu material into 10 inch pieces
3. Fold the material piece by piece in half, laying it down on the table

HEADBAND-

1. Cut the legging material 2 inches think
cut ribbon 9 inches long
2. Fold the tutu material like your making the tutu (I cut it 5.5 inches), using the rest of the material

Day 16 - Cute Sayings in Pictures Frames

Day 16 -

         Cute Sayings in Pictures Frames

Today I seen some sayings I thought were cute and thought to myself what can I do with those that's kinda artsy, and thought of I can do some pictures like I have before.

Here's what I came up with!!

"To think of you is to smile"

 



 

 

 "Life is all about finding people who are your kind of crazy"

 

 

 

 "Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do"

 

 

 

 "There's no one like you"

 

 

 

"Be the change that you want to see in the world"

 

 

 

Making these was pretty easy, I used blank paper, fine markers, extra frames I had laying around, and I found a few cute saying. I looked up a few different types of writing and decided what I want to use. These are what I came up with.

Super cute and easy

Now just to figure out where I'm going to put them!! 

Day 12 - Soft Caramels

       Day 12 -
                 Soft Caramels

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup butter
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup of melted chocolate chips (if you want to dip caramel pieces in chocolate after)

Instructions:

1. Butter OR line a 9x13 tray with parchment paper
2. In a medium size sauce pan heat brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and condensed milk bringing it to a boil. (This part takes awhile. It starts off getting chunky, than slowly turns a light brown, and eventually all melts. You do want to stand over it and stir it while it is melting so it doesn't stick to the pot or burn)
3. Once its all melted and you have brought it to a boil, put it on a medium heat and stire constantly for 10 minutes
4. Pour into a 9x13 buttered or parchment paper lined tray.
5. Cool completely before taking off the paper and cutting
6. Dip pieces into chocolate if desired
7. Enjoy

I personally got to  as from as completely cool and take off the paper. Above are the instructions I followed off pinterest, the persons pictures everything went all smooth and looked awesome. Me in real life not so much.
I can't get it off the parchment paper, I let it cool completely last night and tried, I could get the edges up off the paper, so I put it in the fridge over night, this morning I tried again, it came off a bit more but nothing major. I now have them sitting in the freezer see if maybe that will help. My guess I should have buttered the parchment paper.
But I ripped a little piece off this morning and it does taste good!!!
So over all its a good tasting recipe, but a not so easy recipe to follow and separate from the paper

Day 5 -
Pom Pom Rug

This one definitely IS NOT a few hour project, its fun but its a few day project for sure. This took us   3 days, well a few hours of pom pom making a day
Although its easy enough that both myself and my 10 year old daughter made the pom poms together and she thought it was great.

Directions:

1. Make the pom poms (this takes a ton of yarn) - I wrapped the yarn around my cell phone about 75 times depending on the yarn I was using at the time, tied the wrapped yarn in the middle and cut the ends making sure that I left about 5 inches of yarn at each end so I had something to tie it with.
We used about 250 pom poms and the fabric we used was about 4 ft x 3ft

 

2. Cut the cloth size you want for the underlay of it, (My daughter picked a light blue, and we used a sheet, that way we got to make it the size we wanted) You can use the rug underlay stuff too, I just kept forgetting to go pick it up at the store and my daughter really wanted to put it all together lastnight
3. Gather all the pom poms together and attach them to the sheet (I cut little slits in the fabric put the longer string on the poms poms threw it, and tied them on the back

 



4. Cut all the extra string at the back, and viola all done!!!

 

As long as this project took its still a pretty cool idea!! Now she's trying to talk me into adding more to it and doing all her floor in this (Her theory is - well we have to re-do the floors anyways so we can do it in this)
