This craft project is fun to do and easy enough for any upholstery beginner. You'll only need low-tech tools & easy-to-find materials, and the result is a lovely fabric footstool.
My video will show you how to upholster a padded footstool using plywood base , foam, batting and velvet, plus how to emboss the 'strawberry seed' pattern onto the velvet too (although that bit is optional!)
I hope you enjoy this fun weekend project :)

06:18 Add the Batting
