The project I am overly excited to share with you today almost has me wanting to reconsider my future career path…I love it so much! If only I could make a living wrapping furniture with fabric. The finished result is unique and fun! It exudes the playful spirit I want in our basement.

DIY Fabric wrapped bench tutorial using only fabric scraps and decoupage glue.

Since we don’t have a cabin or vacation home, we always viewed our basement as our space to escape, to have fun, and to connect as a family without all the everyday distractions. These priorities are well reflected in the open layout with a game area, large family room seating area, and multiple play spaces.

I have done many great projects in the basement, which are all fun in their own way, but I think I have outdone myself. The simplicity of this project plus the cheery finished look makes this one of my favorite DIY projects of all time. I seriously want to start hoarding furniture and fabric scraps, so I can toil away for hours creating beautiful furniture pieces!!

I am sharing the mind-blowing easy project instructions over on 4 Men 1 Lady today.

    Oh all the scraps I simply threw away in the day!!! This looks so awesome! I did do your fabric orbs using strips from my drape tie backs and it was a rewarding project that is unique yet ties in the drape colors to the fireplace area. This table would be fun to do for my step daughter for Christmas! But I’d have to go out and buy 1/8 yds of my fabrics wouldn’t I for not one scrap do I have!!!

      Gwen, Buying one of those pre-coordinated bundles of quilting fabrics would work, too!
