How To Make An Ottoman

[@jens2763]

This is exactly what I needed for a "free" ottoman I found on the street. Didn't know how to attach & "plump" up the top foam portion to the board. Thank you!

[@JannNewtonSewOften]

You are welcome!

This was a great video and very easy to follow. I'm a first time ottoman maker. I made one for my trailer remodel using this video and it turned out wonderful. Thank you!

When you cut a triangle to wrap the trim all around, I was mind blown. I’m a beginner. So you’re teaching me lots. Great video and it turned out nicely!

You do not know how thankful I am for finding your video today! I was looking for a pillow case tutorial as I am making one for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. I have a very comfortable chair that was my mother's for many years. I had it re-upholstered just a few years ago. What are the chances that I found the very same fabric on line that matches this chair!! Our local shop closed up as they were ready to retire. I am so excited to receive my fabric and start on this great winter project! God Bless You! Now to get the man started on cutting the boards for me!! Are you available for any questions or help??

Thank you, Thank you so much for this detailed video.This is exactly what I needed . You have explained every single step very patiently and beautifully . I am planning to do it little bit differently though, I would rather attach hinges or make it sliding sideways to make it a storage box too. Thanks again.

Dear Jann, Thank you for such a thorough tutorial for making an ottoman. You're a great teacher! I'm about to do my first project, recovering a vintage footstool, as practice run for two ottomans that need new fabric. I'd really like to get the stapler/nail gun you use here, but the link you provided to Amazon is for a different, unavailable stapler. Could you share where to get the stapler/nail gun you're using in the video? Thank you again from a new subscriber/student!

[@JannNewtonSewOften]

Thank you for watching! I bought the stapler shown in the video probably 15+ years ago when I was operating my drapery workroom. It is no longer available. I looked at the current pneumatic stapler option from the drapery/upholstery supplier that I used, and have linked the pneumatic stapler, staples for the staple gun and the air compressor that I use in the description of this video. It's also linked in the first pinned comment. Good luck with your project!

[@tisabryant3343]

@@JannNewtonSewOften Thank you so much for doing that! I just found a product by Sailrite that looks similar to what you used; I'll check out your links now. I hope to do a decent job on this. I appreciate your encouragement, and the tutorials! Have a great week!
