Suede Stool Cover

Giving your stool a 'NEW LOOK', try this!

Create custom seating from simple off-the-rack supplies. Unfinished stools were painted glossy black, then covered with foam disks and fabric circles.

Tools and Materials:

2/3 yard of fabric per cover (you can get 2 covers if you are using 45-inch-wide fabric)

Ballpoint pen

1-inch-thick foam rubber

Utility knife2/3 yard of polyester batting

Hole punch

2 yards of matching 1/4-inch cord

Stool Cover How-To:

1. Using a ballpoint pen, trace the top of the stool (these dimensions are for a 13-inch-diameter stool) onto the foam rubber; cut out with utility knife.
2. From the batting, which will soften the edges of the foam, cut a 17-inch circle. Cut a 20-inch circle of fabric, and punch holes about every inch along the circumference, about 1/2 inch in from the edge.
3. Lace the cord through the holes. Place the foam and then the batting on the stool, and cover with the fabric; cinch and tie the cord.

Candy Topiary

This is absolutely cool idea for any events and functions, I plan to make this on coming X'mas. To create Dylan Lauren's beautiful candy topiary, follow these steps:

Tools and Materials:

7-inch flower pot

6-inch Styrofoam ball

Styrofoam cone (18 inches tall by 6 inches wide)

18-inch-long, 3/4-inch-diameter dowel (stained)

4 to 5 bags of assorted fun-size candy bars

1 pound of twist wrapped candies

Hot-glue gunGlue sticks

Candy Topiary

How-To:

1. Place Styrofoam ball inside flower pot.

2. Force dowel through Styrofoam ball inside flower pot. Poke hole into cone.

3. Add glue to dowel and affix cone to dowel.

4. Make sure glue gun is on low setting; a high setting will crinkle wrapper.

5. Begin attaching first row of candy to bottom of cone.

6. Make sure all wrappers line up and that they extend about 1/2 inch below base of cone. Hold candy in place until it is secured to cone.

7. Start second row of candy: Apply glue toward top of wrapper, making sure there is a slight overlap between first and second row of candy (like roof shingles).

8. Continue gluing candy in rows around cone all the way to the top. When cone is completely covered with candy, fill bottom of pot with wrapped candies of your choice (such as Bit O' Honey, Jolly Ranchers, Laffy Taffy, or Double Bubble Gum).

9. If giving as a gift, wrap finished topiary in cellophane and top with a ribbon.
