Frugal Friday- An Unlikely What?

Welcome to my "Leopard Theme" Frugal Friday!

Be sure to drop by Wendy's at "The Shabby Nest" to visit all the other FF shares! ;)

First, you'll visit the finished product, the little sweet stool that sits to the right of the fireplace in my Master Suite, it has a Leopard Print. Isn't she just the cutest lil thing you've ever seen? Now for the story of how she began living her new life... Once there was a slinky pair of Leopard pants that I somehow slid upon my body...I loved these Leopard pants, but rarely ever wore them unless a shirt went to my knees since I was so uncomfortable with their "sleek" (tight) look! ;)

So....I got to thinkin about what else I could do with them... Looking at this adorable needlepoint covered small stool, my mind began to dream up how this stool might look if it were to be converted into an animal print to put in my master suite near the fireplace. Hmmmm.... I bought this little stool for only $3.00 at Queen of Hearts in Buford, GA; a wonderful Antique Shopping Mart with loads of vendors. What a buy, eh? Notice the bottom of the stool in the tag underneath in next pic. The stool was originally made in CT.

So, I have a pair of Leopard Pants, and a Needlepoint Stool that doesn't match anything I have. Yet, I really don't want to ruin that needlepoint...too pretty. SOOOO, hmmm...what if I cut the one leg off the pants... and just use the stretch pant as a slip style cover.
Voila, It worked....and I didn't need to stitch a thing! No one ever knows the difference that this little dream of stool didn't come like this originally. Check out the top of it below:

Now, how easy was that?

Well...gotta run, workin on another Frugal Friday Project for next week!
