Give a thrifted bench new life with Tru-Foam and new fabric. This quick project is perfect for beginners. Take your furniture from drab to fab!
Unscrew the top of the bench to remove the cover from the base.
Paint the base of the bench with glossy white paint.
Remove the old staples, fabric, and foam from the wood bench top. Dispose of the old materials.
Place the wood board on the foam. Use a permanent marker to trace the outline of the wood. Cut the foam along the lines. You can use hot glue or a spray on adhesive to attach the foam to the wood if desired.
Place the wood foam-side down on the wrong side of the zebra fabric. Cut the fabric so that it will cover the sides and have at least two inches of fabric on the back. Use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the board. Staple opposite sides first, then staple the corners down.
Staple the pom-pom trim (the one I used is from Decorative Trims) to the top of the bench base.
Screw the top back onto the base.
