DIY Ottoman Coffee Table

From Jess… I fell in love with the detailing on this beautiful carved wood table at West Elm as soon as I laid eyes on it. The downside? The table is only 12” high- so I went after a way to make this table a little taller, and do double duty as an ottoman! 

I extended the legs a pinch by adding extra wood where they connect to the table, well hidden from sight. Then I topped the table with a velvet cushion made from thick foam for a cushy seat. You can use this tutorial to make a cushion for any round table, just adjust the measurements to match your table!

Materials:

For the cushion:

• 2 ½ yards navy velvet fabric
• 6 yards 12/32″ piping cord
• 2” thick, 22″ foam square
• Spray adhesive
• Double sided fusible tape
• Scissors
• Pins
• Navy thread
• Sewing machine
• Yardstick
• Bread knife
• Sharpie
• Tack
• String

For extending the legs:

• 2” diameter wood dowel
• Walnut wood stain
• Foam brush
• Hand saw (for wood dowel)
• Drill
• ⅜” drill bit
• ⅜” threaded rod
• Hacksaw (for metal threaded rod)
• Wood glue
