Up-Cycle-Studio prop stool!!!

Went shopping today at goodwill, and the second I walked through the door, right in front of me I spotted a stool, it had my name all over it! I knew I just had to have, and could see the potential! So I get a cart and grab the stool, this little girl maybe 3 or 4 was looking at books right near where the stool was, and I hear he say to her mom, "mom, she took my stool"! :) Anyways I only paid
great deal!! some might say too much, but ohhh what it would cost new! So then, went to joann's fabric and got just the right material $5.oo, and some metal decorative nails $4.00. So total $17.00!!










So here I have a dirty nasty beat up stool, still structurally sound, and with a little bit of








Ripping, and plying tacks out, I reveal the first fabric, looks like someone has already redid this once! This must be pretty old, the bottom fabric just ripped off in pieces.






now I'm at the bare bones!! Time to reupholster!


so just a bit of hammering here and there,




and whall laa, a new(new to me) pretty snazy prop for the studio, at a fraction of the price of a brand new one from a prop store! yeah!!


Cat just had to test it out for me!









Oh all while Sullivan laid on the floor and played with his bird friend!(this does not happen often) Mikayla did have to help out and hold him for some part of it!
