Cool Burlap At Walmart

The other day I was looking at sewing supplies in Walmart when I spied this super cool burlap!  I knew there would be something I could use it for so I bought a few yards.  One garage sale later and I had two foot stools that shouted out for a burlap redo!
 This first one was a bit of a challenge.  The legs wouldn't come off so I had to do some tricky folding.  Then a bit of white cording covers the edges that were a little rough looking.
 The smaller footstool was a breeze.  I took off and repainted the legs, which made the top easy to cover in the burlap.
I think they look great for what they started as.  
 Didn't take one before the legs were painted.
It is hard to see how awful the fabric was.  Icky!  But now they will have a new life in some one's home!

  1. I couldn't believe the nice selection of burlap at my local Wal-mart! They had chevron in several different colors. May have to find a project to use some on! :)
