Entry way part 3

So we've covered board and batten, building a bench, adding baskets that probably wont get used and now we need a little something comfy to sit on. Check, check, check!

What I don't have at the moment, a staple gun. Shoot. We'll I'm a very impatient person and I love to use what I have so glue gun it is. I mean, it worked for the curtains? How hard can it be? Let's do this!

First off some foam. I had some 1 inch foam hanging around and decided it was way too thin for my liking.

Instead of buying more foam or thicker foam which can be mighty expensive, I stole borrowed some rubber from Mr. P. It's actually for insulation but its thick, and bouncy and lovely. Did I mention it's free? Cut it to size and layered them. See how thick it is, mmm.

Something my tush will love! Even better with the foam on top of that! Heavenly!

So enough with my likes and dislikes in regards to thickness, I laid my fabric on the counter, also cut to size but a tad bigger than the foam and board so I could wrap it nicely. Then the thin foam, rubber and board.

Now grab the glue gun (Or staple gun if you didn't let someone borrow yours and not get it back, ahem.) and bead some glue on the edge, I started with the back. It felt right, I like to go with what feels right.

Fold the corners like a present and move on. Glue and go, wrap and fold. Be sure to pull it as tight and evenly as you can.

I wrapped the front corners a little differently because I didn't want them to be seen-- whatever works and feels right. Go for it! We're breaking all the rules anyways with the glue gun, and the rubber insulationfaux foam.....hey it works!

Then lay it on and love it. Because as long as you love it, that's all that matters!
