Product Information

So, fast forward 6 months and I finally made my own DIY footstool! I based it on the one I found in Bruges, but of course I was able to use some fabric that perfectly suited my home and style. And you know what? It was really simple to make! It’s totally achievable in an afternoon, with some basic tools and skills. This adorable and comfy bit of extra seating is constructed from a painted cardboard spool, red and white felt, and a plywood disc. Use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the plywood disc, but don’t forget to add your padding first! Use liquid glue to ensure the cap of the mushroom stays on it’s base.The result might not be waterproof, but it sure will look adorable on your porch!

It needs to be large enough to completely wrap over your foot stool, covering the top and sides. Place the fabric onto a flat surface, with the wrong side facing up. Then place your footstool onto the fabric, with the foam on the bottom. Try and position the footstool as close to the centre as you can. Let me know! It sort of fits with my other plushies but it doesn’t have a face – I think it counts? Let me and JOANN know!

This post was sponsored by JOANN– My favorite craft store to visit for all my yarn and tools that I use. Also, you can’t resist all their coupons! Cut a piece of high density foam to the same size as your wood piece. Top tip: use a bread knife to cut it! JOANNalways has coupons readily available via newsletter, flyers, and / or on their app! You typically won’t ever be paying full price. Next, you’ll need to cut out a long strip of wadding. It should be the same width as your footstool and approximately double the length. For instance, my foot stool top measured 40cm square. So my wadding strip measured 40cm by 80cm.

One of the most compelling aspects of mushroom footstools is their environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional footstools made from wood or synthetic materials, mushroom footstools are biodegradable and have a significantly lower carbon footprint. The cultivation of mycelium also has the potential to utilize agricultural waste products, providing a sustainable solution for waste management. Additionally, the production process requires minimal energy and resources, making mushroom footstools a truly eco-friendly furniture option. So easy! You just may need some breaks to stretch as this one takes a little bit of time. All you need is your hands and no hook! I used JOANN Big Twist Tubular Yarn and it’s even more fun when your hands get used to using it. I am not sure there is any other yarn on the commercial marketing that lets you achieve this kind of textured look to a finished crochet project.

Complete the look

Wrap the edges of the upholstery fabric up and over the footstool–just like wrapping up a gift box! Use your staple gun to fix the fabric to the wood, making sure to pull the fabric as tightly as possible before securing it. Go all the way round and add plenty of additional staples to the fabric, so it’s very securely held in place.
