TUTORIAL - Make Conny's ottoman or little table

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for your comments!

They are always welcome.

I have another super easy 

tutorial for you. 

Supplies: 

porcelain napkin holder

ribbon

fabric

glue

cotton balls or poly

a little compact mirror for table

We will be making either the little table or 

a cute little ottoman.

You pick!

To make the table it is simple 

- just apply glue a little

around the top of the rim of the napkin holder.  

Place a compact mirror on the top. 

Hold down for a little bit until the glue sets.

All finished!

TO MAKE OTTOMAN

I wish I had picked up all 4 porcelain napkin holders

from the thrift store but at that 

time I didn't.

I didn't think that I would want more

than one, but when I got home I saw that

I could make a little table with it also.

Went back and the other 3 were gone.

Later I will look for some more!

This is what my ottoman looks like.

Use any color fabric and ribbon that

you like. 

As you can see here, I did not fluff up

or pat the sides in, to shape the top.

It is drying so I did it after I made this posting.

Porcelain napkin holder

You can see thru.

Take a piece of thick card or glue several

pieces of thin card together to get the 

card thick enough - 3 layers will be 

enough. 

You just don't want it flimsy.

When dry or if your card is thick, then 

place the porcelain napkin holder on 

top of the cardboard, draw around it

and cut out a round shape.

Put napkin holder on top of fabric

draw around it. 

Cut about a half inch away from the

circle that you drew so the fabric is

bigger. 

You need some fabric to go around.

Take cotton balls or poly and lightly

pad the top of your cardboard

pattern.

Apply glue to the backside of the cardboard.

Remember padding faces the fabric.

Spread the glue around as evenly as

possible.

Then start folding in the fabric onto

the glue.

When finished it will look similar

to mine.

Apply a lot of glue around one of the

openings and smear it around real

good to make sure that you didn't

miss a spot.

Shape up your circle till you are

happy with the way it looks.

Take your top and place on top of

the napkin holder.

Hold down till dry.

Add ribbon around the top edge to make

it look nice.

Add a bow if you want.

Decorate as you please.

Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial!!

Thank you for stopping by!
