What inspired you to create a tree stump ottoman, Jessica?

What forest themed room doesn't need a stump? I have no idea where I came up with this idea. It just occurred to me one day that I wanted to make a stump ottoman for Baby MAC's room.

If you’re gathering ideas for a full woodland room design, my guide to woodland forest animals nursery themes has beautiful inspiration you can pair with this adorable tree stump project.





Go here to see more!. I think you will agree that this stool is cute as can be and that any child would enjoy having his or her own secret hiding place for books or small toys.



Where did you find instructions for making a tree stump ottoman?

I actually searched for instructions with no luck but then I found a post on Young House Love and saw where they had featured a small ottoman that they had found at Target. The price was so cheap that I decided to go pick one up for myself.

Necessary craft supplies for making the ottoman

I asked my Mum to pick up the large amount of wool roving and then I finally had all of my supplies in order not to mention a helper, aka my lovely mother who is exceptionally awesome and talented.

Getting to work!


We put our heads together and worked out a design. Once we had an idea of what we wanted, she started sewing the wool of the trunk and I got started on the fun part of the forest baby nursery decorating project!

by: LeNell

Thanks so much for sharing the free tree stump stool tutorial. Now, I am looking for a video or class that will show me how to make the felted mushrooms since, in my opinion, the mushroom decorations are what make the stump so attractive. I don't know anything about felting but this project has made me want to learn this craft as soon as I possibly can! If I can master it, I plan to make mushrooms for the crib mobile and as table décor; they are so beautiful!

Hi there,

My name is Sam and me and my fiance are looking to decorate our babies room in a woodland theme, I was wondering whether you can purchase one of these stumps and how much they are?

Ideally I was looking to get it for christmas because our baby is due at the end of January =)

If you could please email me back on samnawaz168@icloud.com to let me know it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sam
