Instructions

1
Select and paint a wooden table
Select a nice wooden table and paint the board and the table legs with a colour which suits with the cloth you have chosen. Once you paint the table, let it dry for a night or for about six hours. Be very choosy in the colour and the quality of the fabric as it should go with the colour of your walls.

Wrap the foam and fabric
Once the paint is dried, put the foam on top of the board smoothly. Make sure that the edges of the foam and the board are aligned nicely. Now you need to wrap the fabric over the foam and the board. Remember that the right side of the cloth should be facing out. Once you have wrapped the fabric over the wooden board, turn the table upside down extremely carefully, keeping in mind that the foam should not be displaced from the board.

Finishing
Having placed the table upside down, you need to staple the fabric together very craftily as a slight mistake will loosen the grip of the cloth over the foam and the table. If there is some spare cloth, you can also wrap fabric over the legs of the table if you wish. Put some weight on the table to see if everything is in order.
You cocktail ottoman is now ready to use. It is entirely up to you if you want to place it in your guest room or your personal room.
