Upcycling a Destroyed Bench into a Masterpiece



My older brother and his skater boy band members etched and destroyed a cheap stool we had for the piano. I believe we bought it on clearance at Target or Pier One. Here it is!




I took it to the backyard and placed it on a curtain panel (which I use to protect the grass!) and gave it a good coat of Rust-Oleum mid-deep purple.



I didn't over-coat the seat of the stool however, and I'll show you why soon! 
Make sure you get close and inside any cuts, scratches, or inscriptions. See? Making sure it's purple inside makes a HUGE difference.

Now we're getting to the fun part!!

Step One

•Choose a fabric and cut it so that it completely covers the seat and the sides of the seats 



Step Two

•Mod Podge over the seat 
•Place fabric evenly
•Do not Mod Podge ON TOP of the fabric


Step Three

•Mod Podge the sides of the seat by covering the wood with Mod Podge, pressing the fabric down, and Mod Podging over the fabric
•Fold the corners to the left to create an arrow shape
•Mod Podge them down as well


Ta-Daaaa!

Hope you enjoyed and love it!!
