Tomorrow, when the fabric glue is dried, I'll remove the pins and Scotch Guard them. I'd heard of these before but never knew what to do with them until I had seen this tut in a book of crafts to reuse/renew/recycle. Two hours well spent with my youngest DD. :-D

Very nice, a friend of mine made these in the 70s, time for them to come around again.

My grandma had one too, and I copied hers about 45 yrs ago. I still have that stool, but it's a little shabby looking now. That would make a great project for my grands!

My grandmother had a foot stool she made like this, thanks for the memories.

I guess I am showing my age but I remember those also! My best friend's mom made them years and years ago. Can't believe they are coming back!

I too remember these from years ago when I first got married. (celebrated our 44th in Sept.)

Very cool.

My husband's grandmother used to give those for Christmas presents. I have 3 of them wearing out and have had it on my to do list to redo them. They are great and attractive step stools to give me that extra for my kitchen cupboards. Love the extra trim.. Thanks for giving me the boost to redo mine.

That's relly cute. I love to recycle, too.

My grandparents had a juice can footstool that they'd made, I'll guess, in the 1930's sometime. It was a popular craft back then. As I recall it looked just like yours. Very clever!
