Footstool Redo

I've owned this footstool since my college days. It was purchased originally because I had really high closet shelves in my apartment. It has survived several moves, attesting to its durability. The fabric lost its appeal quickly after I purchased it, but I never thought to recover it until recently.

I went to my local Joann's to look for fabric, when I realized I had the perfect fabric at home. It was a pillowcase that I purchased for $2.00 at Marshall's, originally thinking I'd cut it and make it into smaller throw pillows.

I unscrewed the padded part from the base and quickly cut my fabric to size, leaving about a 1.5 inch border. I used my trusty staple gun and stapled the fabric and voila, less than 15 minutes later, I had a perfectly matching footstool.
