- Footstool Constuction Material List
- Rug Hooked Footstool Feet – where to get them
The actual construction videos are still in the works. I promised this “late this winter.” Today is only the second full day of winter but I thought I would put the material list out there. It may change as I work my way through documenting this process.
What you need to build your footstool to fit under my footstool patterns:
Pattern and wool
Order your footstool pattern and assemble your wool, or simply send me your color visions and let me color plan it for you. This is a service I offer to all workshop attendees, but you can get this service without the workshop. I do give priority to workshop students so you might have to wait a while. Please contact me for availability.

Hi Cindi,
I can’t wait. Being this is the beginning of a new year this will be perfect timing for starting my gifts for next year I have to make four to five footstools by next Christmas.
Have a Happy New Year, I love your website.
