How To: Make a Tufted Ottoman
Little Green Notebook

Every project from Jenny of Little Green Notebook is more impressive than the last. There were the window shades that she made from mini blinds, and the fabric paint that transformed little upholstered stools. This time, she's figured out how to make an ottoman from a coffee table!

This is what Jenny started with. A very sad little coffee table found on craigslist.

And this is the final result! What a transformation!

I wish the photo showed how the corners were handled, without that, I'm dubious.
