Now that I have everything together, I don't like what I see...
I started making the stool tops this morning. I thought that the beige fabric would go well in the kitchen. It didn't.
I will tell you the how to part... I will not tell you about the part where I tear them apart.
They just seem blah... I think that I want something darker.
I simply cut two circles out of the batting. Then I cut a piece of fabric that would cover it, length and crosswise. I put glue around the edge of the wood discs.
Then I stretched the fabric around and trimmed it even with the bottom. and covered the edges with ribbon.
When I got them in the room and started taking photos, I noticed that the top and bottoms didn't play well with the color of the beads. It was the varnishing that pointed that out. Wildly different.
I am thinking that it would look better if I painted the top and bottom discs and didn't try to match them to the beads.
I think that they will either be blue like the back wall or black and I will paint the back wall, once again...We will see what happens, by tomorrow...
See you then...

I like that fabric on the stool. The tops and bottoms not matching doesn't really bother me :)
Hello Casey,
I admire your wanting to get everything just right. I can't wait to see how you transform this already beautiful stool.
Big hug,
Giac
Hi Casey
I think your stool looks lovely, but I know what it's like when you just know it doesn't just feel right to you - and we have to please ourselves in our miniatures. :)
All the best

Hi Casey, I like the fabric on the stools, but I agree about the tops being not quite there yet. Could you do a black top with some type of painted design? A blue Tangle perhaps? Hugs, Sarah
Now the stool is more comfortable.
