You all know how much I love doing my DIY’s and working with wood. This by far has to be my favorite DIY. In our family room we have a massive tufted ottoman. I absolutely love it. The only issue is that it limits me from putting drinks and snacks on the table while entertaining.
Having the extra tablespace is a HUGE necessity when we’re hosting family and friends. When it’s not in use I can add my seasonal table decor with no issues of limited space. Let show you how simple and easy to create this awesome tray for your ottoman.
All of the home projects me and the hubster do around our home. We have tons of leftover wood in our shed. That’s one less thing for me to purchase. L-brackets, woodfiller, drill or screwdriver, and sandpaper is all you need.
First, you want to measure your ottoman. Mine is 3x3ft. The hubster cut our wood 3×1 ft 1x 1’4 and the arms are 7”. I gave it a quick sand. Next, the legs for the (wrap around) it’s up to you of how long you want it to hang over the ottoman. Attached the L-brackets. Mine was 1 1/2 x 5/8. Four was used but, you can use more depending on how large you want your tray.
Woodfiller, was used to fill in the gaps. This is one step you don’t want to miss because, you want it to be seamless. Let it dry and sand with a 100-150 grit sand paper. To see how I got this rustic weathered look. Click on the video down below.
This ”Turquoise summer time VW bug” is by craftyberry bush. It’s a (16”x16”) indoor throw pillow. The vintage hand painted look got me totally. This is the perfect summer pillow for our space.
