"Sometimes storage solutions don't perfectly match your desired room aesthetic - but when you're in a small space, they're necessary. Thankfully the options for keeping your stuff organized aren't limited to just plastic boxes and crates - if you're feeling crafty, then a simple, affordable DIY might be the solution to creating the cutest storage item that even doubles as decor (and a foot rest!)."
"and then cut your chosen fabric. Make sure you cut a square that's larger than your circle - enough to fold it over and staple to the circles. Lay out your cut fabric on the floor, and add a few handfuls of polyester fiber on top. Then put your wooden circle on top. Pull the ends of the fabric toward the middle of the circle tightly, and staple it in the center (this will require a generous amount of stapling!)."
A simple DIY transforms a common Home Depot bucket into a plush ottoman that doubles as storage and a footrest. Two wooden circles are glued together to form a thick base for the cushion. Fabric is cut larger than the circle, layered with polyester fiber, and pulled tightly over the circle before extensive stapling to secure the cushion. The bucket handle is removed, and remaining fabric is measured, cut to wrap the bucket, and attached to form the base. A rotary cutter with a ruler yields straight edges, while fabric scissors can substitute with more precision. The result is affordable, functional decor.
