Throughout the Borderline Brilliant Embroidery Contest we will be sharing projects that might inspire your own entry. A few weeks ago I reupholstered a footstool in oilcloth, this past weekend I used the artwork on this Melody Miller fabric as a template and created an embroidered version. This $10 footstool is now my daughters favorite hangout. But do you want to know a secret about this little seat?
It opens!
What better place for a crafty kid to store a few of her favorite supplies?
Embroidering over fabric seems pretty easy, right? It is!

This looks great. What paint color did you use for the base? Thanks!

hey sarah-
I threw away the can so I’m not sure but it was just a basic rustoleum dk gray. It’s looking more blue here than it is in person.

It’s so easy! You just need to find a stool. : )

I love the hidden space…did you add the hinge and make a box of the base or were you just lucky enough to find a stool with that feature?

It was already like that Amanda, but I have seen this style before so keep an eye out for one!
