Creating Ella.

I pretty much had an idea in mind based on some West Elm inspirations, during one of my thrift haul rummages I ran into this raw pre-cut circle with super drab and wobbly legs (not pictured) and decided to give it some t.l.c. With that being the case I can honestly say the foam was the most costly piece oddly enough. I will give you the simple step-by-step instructions I used to achieve the final look. I am super pleased with the end results:

Materials

• Foam
• Fabric (I used 1.5 yds to be safe)
• Dust Cover
• Marker
• Lint Roller
• Hairpin Legs
• Hairpin Feet Protectors
• Wood Base
• Spray Adhesive
• Staple Gun
• Staples of course!
• Screws
• Power Drill
• Turkey Carver (I did not use this for Thanksgiving, promise!)

1. Considering all the supplies came from various sources you want to be sure you have all your materials prior to starting. Lay out your workstation and prepare to get started by removing any existing hardware.
2. Begin by tracing your wood base on top of your high-density foam.
3. Next, safely use the trimmer to cut the required size circle from the foam. Given the thickness of the material, be sure to take your time and slowly maneuver around the circle.
4. Continuing, grab your spray adhesive and saturate both the wood top and foam bottom, ensure that they are aligned and press firmly together. Allow about 10 minutes to completely dry. You want to avoid getting your fabric stuck to the glue.
5. From here, place your fabric on a flat surface. Lay your circle foam side down, wood side up onto the fabric.
6. Moving on, you will now secure your fabric to your base. Staple and pull the fabric taut along the way. Be careful not to excessively staple. About an inch and a half apart will do just fine. Remember to tug tightly along the way for an even look.
7. Trim any excess fabric from the stapled edge. This can get pretty messy depending on your fur and fabric.
8. For a more finished look apply a dusk cover atop the wood panel and remaining fur edges. Apply even fewer staples here.
9. Lastly, secure your hairpin legs by evenly spacing them apart and drilling your screws in as fasteners to the wood. Affix your feet protectors. 
10. Add some final touches by rubbing the lint roller over, under and around a few times to remove any loose strands that are unavoidable from fur fabric.
11. You should be good to go from there! Stage it and enjoy, there's nothing like a creative touch to add to a space you call your own!
