Give your old stool a second life by pimping it up with an old (or new) strap from the car. Did you score an old stool at home or a thrift stool? Follow the steps below and your wooden furniture will be like new again. Can also be used as a side table! Reusing is much more fun than buying something new, and you’re working sustainably. Let’s follow these steps to transform your stool.

Step 1: Cut the strips

Cut the tension strap into several strips with scissors. Make sure that the strips are long enough so that they can be nicely concealed at the bottom of the stool.

Step 2: Stretch the first strips

Now fasten a strip on the long side and a strip on the short side at the bottom. Use a tacker for this.

Step 3: Braid the strips

Braid the short strips through one by one.

Step 4: Fasten the strips

Make sure you keep everything tight and then secure all strips at the bottom with the tacker.

 

For a later end result, a few extra hands are nice to keep everything in place while braiding. Hope this helps and good luck!
