Recovering a Vanity Table Stool Quick Craft
Oct 13, 2011 by Violet
So I love my vanity table thingy but the seat part had been covered with some pretty ugly worn material. So what else to do than cover it with something more my style? Eventually I’m going to get it properly reupholstered but for now I wanted something quick and easy.

| I flipped it over.

Unscrewed everything…

And the seat part came away easily.

I cut out enough fabric to cover it with plenty of overhang.

I folded the overhang to the back side…

And stitched it all tightly together.

I pulled the corners nice and tightly and pleated them so it looked smooth from the top.

Not pretty but as it’s on the bottom who cares!

After recutting the holes for the screws…

…I put the whole thing back together again.

Taadaa!

Much nicer and easily removable later :D

This is a little more me ^_^

Now I just need to get some more time to do our big couch XD

Haha, cook! I’m a terrible cook!

You totally should!
Pink leopard print couch? Hells yes!
Everyone needs one :D
I’m glad a youngun is getting into re-upholstery :-) love it.
:D Thank you! I would really like to try some larger projects but we just don’t have the space, when we move to a house I’ll be all over it though!
Looks great!! I have some fuzzy pink leopard sticker stuff that I’ve been meaning to use for decoing; this looks so great I don’t think I have an excuse anymore for not having used it already! Gosh that was a confusing sentence. Gist is, you’re awesome and amazing!
I have the same fuzzy stickers I think :D Haha I love the gist!
Amazing! it looks sooooo cute now too :D
I am too obsessed with it!
That’s so cute! :O It’s great how it ends up being seamless *and* you can change it later. I didn’t realize it would be that easy. :D I need to get a seat like that for myself~.
I love the fact I can change it too, you could almost have one to match every outfit XD
That looks so awesome and professional!
Thanks Rosie!
Oh that gives me a great idea for the purple leopard print fabric I have! I might make a cover for my computer chair. It’s dark red, and all my bedding is now various shades of purple. >.<
That would be so cool!!
That’s definitely better and suit you perfectly~xD Great Job!!
:D Thanks Princess!
Somehow before I scrolled down to the “results” I knew something like this was about to happen. xD Good for you on that part! It looks much brighter and more colourful now. :)
Haha I’m quite predictable ^_^
