How to Build an Ottoman Coffee Table
If you’re looking for an easy and stylish way to add more seating to your living room or den, an ottoman is the perfect solution. An ottoman coffee table can give you extra space to sit and also serve as a hidden storage space for your living space. Here’s how to build an ottoman coffee table:
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before starting, you’ll need to gather all the materials you’ll need for the project. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
- Foam
- Fabric
- Frame
- Wood screws
- Wood glue
- Scissors
- Staple gun and staples
- Drill
Step 2: Create The Frame
Use your wood screws and drill to create the frame of your ottoman coffee table. Start by drilling the screw through the legs and into the frame. Make sure the connections are secure and tight.
Step 3: Attach The Foam
Cut the foam to your desired size, making sure it is smaller than the frame. Using wood glue, attach the foam to the frame. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on.
Step 4: Staple The Fabric
Cut the fabric to the size of the frame with an additional 3-4 inches of fabric on each side. Staple the fabric onto the frame, starting with one side and working your way around. Secure the edges of the fabric with sturdy staples.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Sand down any rough edges and apply a sealant or paint to the wood to protect your ottoman coffee table. Add any decorative accents, such as a piece of hardware or a fabric trim, to finish the look.
