Learn How You Can Restore Your Ottoman Yourself At Home | Reupholster With New Fabric

I took an old Ottoman and restored it with new upholstery. It was pretty easy to upholster the old piece of furniture, I should have done it years ago. Now, the ottoman looks better than when we bought brand new. You can get your fabric at Joann's, Hobby Lobby or even in the fabric section at Walmart. A few stitches from the sewing machine and you are all done.

Can we just take a moment and applaud this married man that is killing the domestic game!! He’s a rare man, I’ll tell you that!

[@oxmanagain]

Best comment ever, thank you. Plus, I like your name.

[@midtwilightblue]

Agreed! 👏🏻 I still don’t know how to sow a button back into clothing with just needle and thread! 🙈

[@lzunaby]

Yo Mama 😂😂😂 it’s ok! Find a domestic partner to handle those things! But can you cook? Lol

[@BastianHelena]

I was literally thinking the exact same thing!!

[@CPeetG]

I was thinking the exact same thing. You can tell he is a good man all the way around. We need more examples of men like this in the world. 👌🏻 👏🏻

[@ash_hoyaaddictsanon]

This is probably one of the best tutorial videos I’ve seen for reupholstering an ottoman! Very informative and helpful with step by step instructions. Your ottoman came out great!

[@paparobert9267]

I have watched a billion videos on reupholstering furniture and you my friend are the FIRST one ever to show how to load a staple gun! Thank you for that because I have never used one and had no idea how to do it. Your project was perfect! -Mary

[@bhupinderkaur2498]

Such a great tutorial. I was about to toss my ottoman today but I came across your video. Now I have a project. Much respect to you for detailed instructions! You are very good at it!

[@oxmanagain]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching. Since, it has been a while, have you made yours yet and how did it turn out?

[@miked877]

Where do I begin on what I liked? Clear instructions, clear audio, calm demeanor, no unnecessary repetition of steps... and you can sew. Where do I begin on what I did not like? I cannot, there is nothing I didn't like about your video. Now all I have to do is to find the time and ambition at the same time and I will be doing one myself, thanks for the inspiration. Question: Did I hear some Stardrive music in there around 3:30 to 4:30? Sure sounded like it.

[@oxmanagain]

Thank you, anytime I can motivate someone I have accomplished my mission. I appreciate the compliment and I also appreciate the fact you watched the video. When you do find the time to make yours let me know how it turned out. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[@brazenembers]

So happy I found this video. I'll be watching it again while I reupholster my worn out ottoman. Thank you, sir!

[@madonnawayne4130]

Mr Oxman shows how to deconstruct and then reconstruct an ottoman with his understandable instructions. He is a great teacher and creative craftsman. I am watching because I want to cover an ottoman I found while curb shopping. I sold my coffee table and now I am planning on using the ottoman that I can move out of way to use as an extra seat when needed. Thanks for your expertise now I will go buy some cheetah fabric for a wild ottoman.

[@jerurenteria325]

Well done!!! My favourite part was when he said “do you what my favourite part is? Everything! Hahah”

[@justinthekitchen8299]

I am now going to recover my ottoman. I didn't think it was anything I wanted to tackle but I can do it!!!!

[@loriveldhuis314]

Oh my!!! We were 20 minutes away from throwing out our ottoman -- Can't wait to give this a try. THANK YOU so much! You should have heard us watching-- "OH My Gosh-- FRINGE TOO!!!" Genius!

[@oxmanagain]

I'm glad I was able to help. When you get done let me know how it turned out. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving the comment. It's comments like yours that helped keep me making videos. Thank you.

[@williammurrell2537]

I love, love this man's video! Common sense, easy steps, everyday equipment, love the clothes pins! I'm ready to give this a try, with confidence. Thank you. Ann.

[@emilykuplic372]

Legitimately, made me less terrified to grab an old Ethan Allen ottoman from the local buy nothing group. This was so helpful, headed to grab the ottoman tomorrow then off to buy fabric. Thanks for being so in formative.

[@wandapooley4243]

Excellent tutorial. Each step is presented clearly and explained well. This video has encouraged me to reupholster my own ottoman.

[@Linda-kb3ko]

I love love love how you did the corners. I'm going to keep playing it back until I get it right

[@oxmanagain]

Thank you and let me know how yours turns out..

[@alishag1434]

I am HIGHLY impressed!!! When you stated you were going to sew, that threw me for a loop. 😯😦😧😮😲 mouth completely dropped. Great job!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@sharonyoung5144]

I have been looking for a really good video on this for ages and just couldn't find one that had an ottoman like mine. This is great. You made it look so easy and the finished result is gorgeous. I can now go step by step and re-upholster mine. Thanks so much.

[@oxmanagain]

I'm glad I was able to help. When you reupholster yours let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.

[@annebierce5280]

Love the fabric. Great job showing all the steps

[@cUser691]

The detailed explanations for each aspect were amazing. Thanks. Project was tasteful and looked like a million bucks. Appreciate the time and energy you expended bringing this tutorial to YT.

[@oxmanagain]

I really appreciate your support and the nice words. Do you have anything to reupholster yourself?

[@sharonswitzer6010]

You are a gem! Great video!!! I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Keep up the good work.

[@teemmm538]

00:25 "You know what I like about this? ,,,is EVERYTHING" lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died. Great Job😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@oxmanagain]

Hahaha. Thanks for watching.

[@coxxxy1989]

Excellent video!! No detail left unmentioned. Its given me the possibly naïve hope that I can do a decent job on mine!

[@sarahramirez8675]

Wow very well explained. This is the best reupholster video I’ve seen.

[@amyhines4702]

This is a great video- very thorough, informative and I appreciate your attention to detail. Your tips are very important and I just subscribed!

[@time4growth10]

Your calm demeanor tells me I can do this! Thanks for the knowledge you have shared. God bless you and your family.

[@Jean-kl6go]

Bruh! I’m speechless! Outstanding! Well done tutorial. Video was concise and easy to understand.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

[@oxmanagain]

I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching. Are you planning on redoing your ottoman or footstool? If so let me know how I turned out. You have a good one.

[@christineporter5068]

Thank you! I have two I need to re-do and was hesitant to take on the task. After watching this, I think I can do it now! Precise instructions and not a lot of unnecessary junk in between.

[@jeannemarkham1149]

Somebody raised you right! You are a Renaissance Man!

[@oxmanagain]

I appreciate that

[@cherylbglover]

Thank you! I was about the toss mine, but I also enjoyed it because it was great for hiding the toddlers toys in a snap, it was only in the basement but the fake leather was worn and I couldn't stand it. On a last ditch effort I ran a search here for ideas and nothing stood out. I almost closed my app and your color blue jumped out at me and I scrolled down and this was exactly what I was looking for!!!

[@elspethsmith]

Thanks for the video! My Ottoman has a very different structure but this video still helped me come up with a strategy. Love how you get right to the point!

[@boyshanks]

Awesome!!! Just love your demo!!

[@nanab573]

FANTASTIC

[@lissnellin4589]

This is amazing, thank you! I have a tired old brown one I want to revamp. You make it look so easy!

[@gaylesjourneyofprojects]

Excellent job!!

[@sterific]

Amazingly informative video! I feel confident now to re-upholstrey my ottoman!

[@speakezforkids545]

This is awesome! He had me at the sewing machine and clothes pins. Thanks Oxmanagain. My faith in humanity has been restored. Good work! 😊✌👏

[@kenn1936]

Love the fabric, awesome job on recovering. I have similar ottoman but my one is storage - this one could have been made into storage as it is about the same size. For those who don't have much storage - it is an awesome place to make storage for magazines, paperwork, or anything that is lying on top (when you get surprise visitors - open up and toss it all in)!!!!

[@xansoman]

That looks so great! Thanks for showing how to do this.

[@karicampbell2116]

Thank you. Best video on the subject. All the details I needed to refresh my memory!

[@kbobsled]

You explained this in super simple terms and went easily through each step - thank you for making this so easy to follow!

[@mkk1959]

OMG! This video is SO helpful! I have an extra large round ottoman that I have wanted to slipcover for so long! I am going to take it apart and hopefully, the top is separate from the sides like your was! I have a canvas drop cloth that I have been wanting to make a farmhouse style slipcover for it and you have given me the confidence to GO FOR IT! Great video! Thanks!

[@jenniferlafabregue8266]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for being so clear with directions.

[@dawnhingley5535]

Beautiful

[@amandaweaver5474]

Reupholstered my storage ottoman bench all thanks to this video!

[@lisasanchez7658]

Thank you! Great job!

[@BeautifulIsHerName1]

Absolutely amazing job and very detailed!!! Very enjoyable to watch!!❤️

[@pennycarey7502]

So I have this hideous faux leather ottoman that I hate, but my kids love 🤣... I planned on fixing it up so this video is extremely helpful. Going to have to save this lol thanks!

[@itsgreenandblue1033]

I dont think people realise how easy it is to make old things look fresh again, I've recently bought a 70s? (i think) ottoman and I had no idea where to start to reupolster it, so this was really helpful!

[@mbmstanley]

I've needed this video forever!!! Thank you so much.

[@handyman-network]

I just did a video on my ottoman upholster. Picked up a good tip from you. Thank you!

[@vickiebean100]

I did an upholstery a few months back and love it. I found the old ottoman from a lady who rents out space for her customers. I looked up the original price of it and it was worth $700. I have a beautiful piece and I got the fabric from Hobby Lobby.

[@valverdefankhauser]

Thank you. I am going to do it.

[@gaydoyle810]

Your a blessing! I just bought material TODAY to upholster my ottoman that looks exactly like yours. Very helpful, thank you.

[@oxmanagain]

Thanks for letting new know. Tell me how yours turns out.

[@teresareichman3903]

Great video! You made the restore project look easy. After watching your video I feel like I can tackle restoring our ottoman.

[@TheDrugstoreCowgirl]

Brilliant video!!! I’m about to do the same to an old ottoman and you answered all my questions and concerns!! So informative and wonderful!!

[@oxmanagain]

It was a very fun project. Anytime you can restore something it's always better than buying it brand new. Let me know how it turns out. I appreciate you for watching and thanks for leave me a comment.

[@Woodville2022]

Thank you. Very useful and easy to follow!

[@KayDurrant]

Nice job, I'm inspired

[@kimberlybarnes6842]

Thank you! I’ve hd so many questions that you answered in this video. Your information was spot on and applicable to a piece I’m wrkng on now. Thank you for sharing and posting this project.

[@mamao823]

Beautiful! I’ll be working on my ottoman soon! Thank you!

[@mandyyoung444]

What a great idea to use clothes pins to hold your material together while sewing. Great video!

[@chriswearn4000]

Osman this was an awesome video thanks as I was needing some advise on reupholstery. Awesome job man.

[@ruthireland-mason8163]

Thank you!! Your video helped me to be brave enough to tackle my ottoman project. 👏
