D.I.Y- Giant Wooden Spool Chair My neighbor left three large wooden spools on the curb yesterday. Lucky me! I only took two because one was rusted, and the boys across the street wanted one to use as a table in their backyard. Seemed fair to me! When I saw the spools I knew I wanted to make a chair and off I went off to the local fabric store where I bought some staples and clearance fabric (1 1/4 yard, to be exact). I already had a few supplies on hand: a staple gun, black gloss paint, a paint roller and sand paper, which made this project fairly inexpensive. On my way home from the fabric store I stopped at the dollar store to buy one of those cushioned foam covers for a bed. They didn't have a queen size so I bought two twin sized ones. Actually, I bought one and had to go back for the second when I realized one would not be enough padding. Once I got home, I started sanding the spool with 150 grit sandpaper to take off the rough edges. I gave the rest of it a nice once over to make sure my paint would adhere. Next, I used my tiny roller and started painting. I used the sander to keep the spool from rolling down the driveway It was 100 degrees outside so the paint dried quickly and I was able to add several coats. I didn't paint the bottom or the top of the spool because I knew it wouldn't be seen. There are slats and nail holes so I had to use a small paint brush to get to those hard to reach areas that my roller couldn't. For the seat, I folded the twin sized foam in half and cut it the diameter of the spool top. I realized that there wasn't enough padding and that's when I ran back to the dollar store and bought the second one. This time I decided I needed to make the cut bigger so it would cover the edge because I didn't want bare wood under the fabric. I cut it about two inches wider — I didn't take a photo. Once I was set, I put my fabric on top and started to staple, but not before I figured out I had bought the wrong size staples. Instead of returning them to the store I went to a neighbor and luckily they had the right size staple gun for my stapling needs. As I started to staple I realized the way I was doing it wasn't going to work because I had the spool right-side up and was blindly stapling. I didn't want to accidentally to staple a finger so I flipped it upside down. Then, I double checked the fabric to make sure it was taut and then I started stretching, folding and stapling. The raw edges—not pretty Halfway around I saw the raw edges and knew I needed to make it "professional looking," so I started popping staples and folding the raw edge under.. After re-stapling the whole thing, I hammered all the staples to be sure they were secure. Clean edges—very nice You can see my folds are spaced evenly and folded the same direction... This is key to a good looking finish (it doesn't really matter though because no one will see it). Here is the final product. I am very pleased with it. I have never upholstered anything before this, but many years ago my Grammy told that it was fairly easy to do. I'm glad I finally tried it out! Trash to Treasure, baby! xx Tyna xx

I would love this stack of spool cabinets in my home. So far...none have come home with me. I like the variety in finishes and sizes. The four stacked together come to about 4'-5' of shallow drawer storage. Perfect for applique blocks, projects and all kinds of treasures. If you'd like a beautiful furniture quality reproduction from Richard Hyers (Vendor at AQSG 2011) click HERE His spool caddies are spectacular too! This is a vintage ribbon cabinet. The top portion shows ribbons on display as they would have been at the Milliners Shop. The other shelves show how it could be re-purposed for wine. Love the idea to use it at home for wine! Each shelf opens on three sides for easy access. You can see a wonderful variety of spool cabinets HERE, and for some history read HERE. Do you have a spool cabinet? If so, do you store spools in it? Have a great weekend!
I’m going to be honest here..I can’t tell y’all how many friends, blogger friends, and family members have said “Ooh I can’t wait to see the nursery, its guaranteed to be fabulous” or “I bet you already have the whole thing planned out!”. Welp, the first will hopefully become true, but the second- definitely not true. Its like I […]
