Easy No-Sew Ottoman

[@Fancylooks]

I love the technique for bending the fabric with the paper stencil at the bom before glueing it

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

That's my special trick. Makes things look so neat!

[@tinasparacino3067]

The ideas are endless for this ottoman whether you sew or not. I do sew but, the idea of not having to sew is even better. Thanks​ for sharing. Love, love, love your projects!!! 😊

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I love that this was no sew. So much more accessible to everyone.

[@beverlyc7781]

Since I have no clue how to sew, this looks like something I can actually do! It's adorable.

[@Toltecgrl]

Beverly C Me too! I have two left hands when it comes to sewing😁😀 But this is something I can consider. Beautiful colors!

[@karolinnmoore2833]

Beverly C me neither I think for us no sew peps it's a hit

[@briancrum5817]

Aztec Girl I know how to sew I'm a kid and we have 5o do home ec so I'm making a fabric one for me and my mums apartment

[@antitart]

If you have the skills and patience to put this project together, you have the potential to sew. Don't let it intimidate you. If not having a sewing machine is an obstacle or if you just find the machines are too finicky, you can do a LOT with just hand sewing. A simple whip-stitch is all you need, in most cases, when it comes to crafty types of projects. Obviously, you don't need it with this cute project, but it might come in handy with other projects. Most of sewing is measuring and patterns, like in this video. Think of the stitches, like you think of screws, staples, rivets, or glue. They're just for tieing two or more materials together, be they wood, cloth, or whatever. Good luck with your crafty adventures!

It is real fun hobby to have if you give it a try. I've been learning from KZbin videos. It only took me a few weeks to get to the point of making my own shorts. (They don't look good, and I made TONS of mistakes but they're functional) Since then I've been doing tons of little things in my free time. Here's a good tutorial for basic hand stitches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3fOn5mroquDjpo Here's a step by step tutorial for operating a sewing machine (though new ones have their own instruction manual usually): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qInQn5VqdqZ_jsk And here's a tutorial for a basic drawstring bag (It's a good first project. I made some for Christmas gift bags!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIGUiqqOrMigqLM&t I hope you give it a try!

[@lisaizumi17]

How adorable!! Love this kit. This is fabulous for all of us who don't have fancy saws to cut the circle of wood or cut the batting. Just love the entire Tuffet and the kit is wonderful. Thank you! Thank you! Great fabric choice Mark!! Gonna hunt for the fabric link now!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

This kit is perfect for the first timer! You will need to get the legs and fabric, but other than that, it's all there.

[@sdAmen]

I love everything about this! The colors, patterns you use are remarkable and so happy.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thank you S D! This is still in my living room!

[@denisehassett9614]

Seriously, that is so cute! And it's no-sew!! Some of us are sewing challenged so thank you!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I hear you! I'm all for helping out the sewing challenged!

[@lindaploof2453]

My heavens, Mark! You are so darn creative. You make everything look so doable. Even I have been able to successfully try your projects. You boost my confidence. Kudos to you!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You can totally do this Linda!

[@savvydesignsbydena3179]

You TRULY are THE BEST!! I swear I can work all day on EVERYTHING you make!! YOU ROCK MARK!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Love hearing that Dena! We have some stools coming up that you're going to love!

[@savvydesignsbydena3179]

+Mark Montano YAYYYYYY!!!! :)

[@angelabarton2551]

Hi mark that ottoman is really beautiful, and I love the colors in the fabric that were used, its really lovely thankyou

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Glad you like it Angela. The kit really helped a lot.

[@Jenniepoo3]

I’m loving the ottoman! And that BLUE furniture!! My lawdie I need that in my living room!!!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I'm ready for a change....Come get it! :)

[@dianekasperski2739]

This is terrific and I love the fabric you used.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

We mentioned you on your FB live today......Did you catch it?

[@yedinatashagarlo1359]

It's beautiful. Most detailed diy ever

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Glad you like it!

[@trishharper3135]

what great tutes you do - no time wasted - brilliant - thank you

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I try to keep it simple and precise. So many videos drive me nuts with incessant talking and useless information.

[@TheNetymags]

This was awesome! Thank you so much for that trick of ironing the circle with poster board! That is definitely getting filed away in my brain!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

It's the best way to make it perfect!

[@tammyphifer4558]

I have been so obsessed with chairs lately, this is the PERFECT addition to my addiction

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Glad I could help!

[@deborahfoster1960]

Me,too Ms.Tammy....I love crazy looking chairs and the N Boho look is perfect for that. I love refurbishing old things. As of right now I'm in the mist of a 'ugly and I mean ugly kitchen redo'. The first time I saw this kitchen this was the look on my face😱💀. Wish I knew how to post a picture here. Because it was horrible. It was that old western looking wallpaper.😖😂😂

[@mochamiss1]

This is yet another gorgeous project. I'm going to call you Marrakesh Mark Montano because the fabric used reminds me so much of Morrocco. Beautiful!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

One of my favorite projects!

[@VanessaAlaskanGodess]

No-sew projects are one of life’s greatest gifts😊

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

They really are! Though, I do love to sew very much, too.

[@wanderingangelstudio1359]

Just precious! The fabric is fabulous! Must make!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I order that stuff all the time from Ebay! Not every expensive at all. This piece was less than 18 bucks.

[@AmandaSocci]

Mark, this project looks incredibly advanced for me, as I'm not great with drills. However, I totally admire your techniques and especially your design choices.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

The drill is easy to master Amanda! Grab one and start making holes in a piece of scrap wood. You'll get it in no time. Promise!

[@asilzednanreh309]

Wish there was a love button here. Amazing and simple. My kind of DIY!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Nice of you to say!

[@LASmithBuxton]

What a beautiful and easy project! Thanks for the inspiration and links to all the supplies. You're so creative, clever, and kind, Mark!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Morning LA! FB Live at noon today! Hope you join us!

[@sandraacquart4377]

Such brilliant colors. Adorable!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thanks so much Sandra!

[@lisaray9404]

This really is a beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! ☺💖🙏

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You are so welcome Lisa! *follow me on Instagram if you're there, too. instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/

[@tonifafa]

Another fantastic creation, although, I'm not a fan of boxed kits (food, crafts, etc.) - I believe they're overpriced. However, they are a fun way of introducing a craft, food dish, or hobby that may not otherwise be explored. This ottoman is a perfect example of an easy way to introduce someone to the art of footstools. Thanks for sharing Mark! Always a pleasure watching your videos and learning your techniques.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I'm not usually a fan of kits either, but this saved tons of time and also allowed me just focus on the design. Great to see you Anthonia!

[@mallymakings2853]

Oh Mark, I've been watching you create some beautiful items and enjoyed the step by step instructions, but this is in a completely different league. This really is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. It's made my heart sing and I'm so inspired I've just scoured EBay UK and managed to order the exact one you used. I'm going to try my very best to recreate the one you made today. Thank You so much for continuing to inspire me and with each video, you lift my spirits (I suffer badly with depression and anxiety) even more. Thank You.xxx 🤗😊🤗

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I'm so happy you were able to find the exact fabric. Have fun and know you're not alone with the depression and anxiety. It plagues me, too. Creativity does help. Make sure to keep in touch, OK!

[@taiberry2095]

I love this. Beautiful and simple. I'm so jealous of your eye for mixing patterns. Simply divine.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I just go crazy and then edit. It's always an experiment!

[@diannadiatz1140]

Did Miss Tuffet sit on a tuffet as cute as this one? Probably not! What a festive foot rest! This is a cute project that would probably go with your wonderful wild embroidered fabric chair from a few months ago! Hope you got to put your feet up after doing this project! Have a great weekend! Best regards, Dianna PS. I would probably paint the tuffet feet the "periwinkle" lavender background fabric color, or the deep pink -- being partial to those colors!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You know it! It's going on my patio!

[@MrsRocio825]

You are so creative. I love all the bright pretty colors you use.!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Thanks so much!

[@patschwab4083]

Little Miss Muffet would love your version. The fabric is so vibrant. Thanks. Pat S

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Little Miss Muffet is going to be sitting on the floor. This is MINE! :)

[@evelynj.amponsah8417]

So Soho Glamorous, love the covering at the bottom. What can I say Mark. You did it again.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I love that the bottom is covered. It would have bothered me if it wasn't. Even if you couldn't see it.

[@sumfingtosay]

Im so glad to have found your channel, I'm especially enjoying your bohemian pieces as that is how im decorating my home. Everything in the shops is either to exspensive or is cheap but plain and stark.....or white & grey or rose gold, not my thing. Tfs 🌹

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I'll have to look that up Debi.

You've done it again Mark. Another beautiful project! Greetings from the Netherlands :)

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Hello Sasha!

[@lisasabir1354]

I absolutely love your Moroccan ideas! My husband is Moroccan and I'm re-decorating my home one room at a time to reflect all the wonderful shapes and colors of the Islamic land of Morocco. Are you Moroccan? What made you fall in love with this style? I'd love to see you create carved plaster that Moroccans have around their ceilings or around the border of a room. I've been thinking maybe it could be done with cardboard. Any ideas?

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Wow, that takes a true talent that I definitely don't have. I'm sure there are molds out that that could be filled with plaster and perhaps something like that could work?

[@sandeeD0769]

OMGosh I love this... Great idea...off to make one as soon as I can!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

The kit is fantastic! You can get the feet almost anywhere, too.
