Making Your Ottoman

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Download the free stencil file. Use freezer paper with your Silhouette to create the stencil. We used a 12″ x 24″ cutting mat and applied the freezer paper glossy side up. Use the basic printer paper setting for cutting. This can also be cut by hand if you do not have a Silhouette.

  2. Using the Cushion FoamTM from Fairfield’s Tuffet Kit as a pattern, trace around the circle adding an additional 3/4″ seam allowance, and cut two circles of Natural fabric.

  3. Working one section at a time (Face first, then the cheeks), iron the freezer paper stencil in place and begin applying fabric ink. Allow to dry and then carefully remove the stencil. Apply cheeks in same manner. When both paints have dried completely (24 hrs.), iron the fabric ink to set and sew two circles together. Sew orange piping around the inner seam.

  4. Cut a 56 2/3″ x 10″ strip of coordinating fabric. Sew ends together (1/4″ seam), pin around the sewn-together circle panels, and sew in place.

  5. Turn ottoman cover right side out and pull over foam cushion. Position wood disc inside of cover and tightly staple the fabric in place.

  6. Cover the bottom with a layer of a dark color Oly*fun so that you can’t see the fabric edges underneath.

  7. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the Top Plate Hardware and Round Taper Legs.

    Voilà! You have officially made your very own Mid-Century Modern Ottoman!
