Quick Furniture Make-over

You could update the look of a stool,bench,or chair by changing the cushion cover.  I purchased a throw rug for $7.99 at TJMaxx to update my stool. The rug is a sturdy fabric that will hold up well.

I first unscrewed the existing cushion and laid it face down on my rug..I then cut around cushion leaving enough fabric to pull over and secure (I used staple gun with upholstery staples).  Place two or three staples on one side and then pull snug and staple..continue stapling and check to keep fabric snug as you go along..fold corners in and staple.  Re-attach cushion and you are done!







Tools (scissors,stapler,screwdriver)

Mercury Glass for the Holidays

The holidays are fast approaching.  Purchase some glass votives or inexpensive clear ornaments at your local dollar store(Donnelly's Dollar & Deals in West Grove,Pa is great.)  Then get a can of the "Looking Glass" spray paint (found it at Walmart). Spritz your item with water from a spray bottle and then spray the looking glass spray paint...You now have some wonderful shiny items for the holidays.
