This video caught my eye because I have that exact same foot stool! I've wanted to recover it for years. Great video!

I have a little stool that is very close looking to yours and I was wondering how I should recover mines,with the webbing or foam,and I think the quickest way is with the fabric and foam,thank you for the idea....

[@sharondraffin7857]

I’m about to recover a footstool so this was perfect.

[@naturescourtyard9507]

Thank you:)

I am working on the same type of stool for my mom. It was pretty rough, and I wanted paint/stain to adhere better so I gave it a light sanding first.

[@vickywithawhy9150]

Well done... this may be the most perfect how-to video I’ve ever watched.
Thank you for making it 🙂

Love! Where’d you get the foam from? And what is it called?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

It’s called upholstery foam, and I got it from Amazon.

[@abbysadventures274]

Brilliant video ! ❤️🙌❤️

[@naturescourtyard9507]

Thank you:)

[@cield3987]

I’m confused, why would you bother to cut off the top bit when you know you’re just going to remove the whole thing anyway?

[@patrickperry7157]

I like it.

[@naturescourtyard9507]

Thank you:)

How did it work out with using the wood stain without sanding it first? I always thought that you would have to sand down the word first then use the wood stain, and then use varnish? This is new to me!

[@naturescourtyard9507]

For me it just worked because the surface wasn't smooth enough, but if you are working on something very smooth and shiny then you should sand it first
Hope this will help you!

[@mariarib6504]

I was wondering about how to cut the foam to size - should it be exactly the same size or is there overhang?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

It should be the same size:)

[@meganosimanti4678]

Why did you have to cut the fabric off like that? Could it have been done just by unscrewing it like you did after?
I’m thinking of just going over the old fabric on mine with the new fabric. Any reason that I can’t?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

Yes, it can be done by just unscrewing it, I cut the fabric because I didn't want to unscrew it but ended up by doing it;)

[@amyernst985]

My base is metal not wood.. Anyway I can buy a color that I could spray on it? Where could I buy this spay too?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

You can buy spray paint from craft store or hardware store

AP Jo tufting machine use ker rahi hain isko Kya kahtay hain ?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

It’s called staple gun.

[@avianfish8732]

You just put stain on top of varnish?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

I did that after sanding

[@CA13MWG]

Thank you for your video! What size foam did you use?

[@naturescourtyard9507]

I have used 1" foam

[@CA13MWG]

@@naturescourtyard9507 thank you! I’m looking forward to doing this project later this week.

Has anyone used a hot glue gun rather than fabric glue?
