Reprise of a Footstool

Definition of REPRISE. 1: a deduction or charge made yearly out of a manor or estate —usually used in plural . 2: a recurrence, renewal, or resumption of an action (Merriam Webster)

And here is the footstool in its second life with all pieces cleaned and new accessories.


A lace border (four pieces) was added between newly purchased fringe and the needlepoint top:
 

and corner pieces attached: 

(the flower is by Susan B. Anderson for a pacifer clip with five petals; directions at the Ravelry tag below)


So glad to finally get the ottoman put back together again. Thank goodness for hot glue guns and red duck tape.  The red duck tape was a base for the purchased trim since the wood on the footstool showed under the fringed piece. What crafter can live without our friends duck tape and glue guns?

    OMGoodness the footstool turned out so great! Very creative fixings with the duct tape and added embellishments. Wow...duct tape has come along way and is such a great crafting supply these days.

    Your parties are new to me. I'll check them out. Have a great weekend.

    Oh so cute! That's a beautiful piece of needlepoint. Certainly worth all the love you gave it making the ottoman look like new again.
