Rug Hooked Footstools

Make your own rug hooked footstool

I have several footstool patterns available. I am posting complete instructions (videos are still being edited) on how to build your own using simple 2x4s, plywood and foam. There is a complete cutting diagram for the wood and the foam. I also have instructions on how to finish your hooking so you can complete your rug hooked footstool.Here are the list of instructions available so far:

1. Footstool Construction Material List
2. Footstool Feet - Where to Get Them
3. Footstool Feet - Staining
4. Build the Box
5. Adding the foam
6. Preparing the Backing
7. Sewing up the Sides
8. Upholstery and Finishing Touches

These instructions are still a rough draft. If you have any questions be sure to ask. I will be adding the videos and updates as I can. Be sure to visit again before you dig into your project so you have the latest information. A PDF with all the instructions in one place will be available for download once I have everything written up and finalized. It is not ready yet.
