TAPESTRY OTTOMAN

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 - Measure your ottoman to ensure you have enough fabric to cover the whole thing. Measure up one side, across the top, and down the other side and record -

Tip - Add 10cm to your measurement to allow for a 5cm seam allowance.

Step 2 - Rule up a square on the wrong side of your fabric that is the total measurement you recorded in step 1. Cut out the fabric.

Step 3 - Measure carefully to find the center of the fabric, mark this, and place the ottoman upside down on your mark.

Step 4 - Take one side of the fabric, pull it up and over the bottom edge of the ottoman, and staple in place. Follow the grain or weave the fabric to ensure it sits neatly.

Step 5 - On the other two sides you will need to fold the excess fabric in on itself like a present. Make sure the fabric is lying neatly and then staple the fabric to the base and repeat on the other side until your ottoman is complete!

Tip - You can find the centre of your fabric by folding it from side to side and pressing, and then top to bottom and pressing again.
