In this video we show you step by step how to upholster a storage box or storage ottoman. To build the frame is easy and requires just 18mm MDF wood to be pinned together…you can make it any size you like 😊 We show you each step of the process from adding foam to the box, sewing the corners (really simple sewing, little experience required) and upholstering the box. You can use any fabric you like to create this storage box and it’s a perfect (and practical!) decorative addition to any room.
This is an upholstery for beginners tutorial so even beginners can follow along!

HOW TO MAKE A STORAGE BOX | UPHOLSTERY FOR BEGINNERS | FaceliftInteriors - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors
I need a nice storage ottoman and I have an antique wooden box just like this. Hmmmm… I think that will be my new ottoman. Thank you!
I wouldn’t have had the heart to cover that nice vintage logo on the side of the carton, but great end result! Thank you for the videos, learnt so much
I know, I felt the same way and I was surprised when I took the old fabric off and saw it! Thank you so much for watching them and taking the time to leave a comment, it’s really appreciated!
Your work is brilliant...you too! I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. I'm going to give it a try. Stay safe!! 🕊🇺🇲
Thank you Ken - that’s really kind. Glad you enjoyed…good luck with your project! Best wishes across the pond 🇺🇸🙏🏻
Hi I'm from New Zealand. Kia Ora is a greeting in the Maori language. It would have been used to store butter for export from NZ to the UK. NZ has been shipping for probably 100 years or more
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing, that’s really interesting to know what it was used for previously.
As a upholster i truly enjoy your work ,and i do learned some new tips viewing from Barbados
That’s a massive complement, thanks Stanley. Best wishes to you in Barbados! 🇧🇧
@@faceliftinteriors thanks and you be safe
Hi thank u for sharing with us that was a v neet nice job.u are v smart.😊
Thankyou very much. 🙏☺️📐📎✂️⛏️🧵
Beautiful!
Thank you Kate! 😊👍🏻

So glad to hear that Liz! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Good luck with your project!! 😊🙏🏻
That's very great
Thank you Jasmin 😊🙏🏻
Just discovered you channel. This is awesome. Do you have a video that goes over the different foam and fabrics and when to use what?
Thank you so much for watching, it’s really appreciated! No I don’t but that’s a great idea for a video...I’ll add it to my list 😊👍🏻
Super nice
Thank you!!
Typical Bank Holiday Monday - pissed it down all day so I have watched lots of your videos. Its been very informative. What is Dacron used for and how do you choose which foam to utilise on a job? Is there a difference between blue and white foams apart from their colour?
Haha yep, typical of the English bank holiday to be raining!! I’ve just recently posted a video about foam and Dacron so should hopefully answer all of your questions...if not, feel free to ask more 👍🏻 here’s the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/jbfhtRP3gIQ/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching my videos mate, it’s really appreciated 😊👍🏻
Māori is one of New Zealands languages. Kia Ora mean hello/welcome in Māori. It’s not the name of the brand :)
Amazing!! Thank you so much! 😊👍🏻
Ok these videos are so addicting 😳
That’s far too kind, thank you 😊🙏🏻 glad you enjoy them!
Nice video! I was so excited to see it. Hint: If you trim off the corners of your fabric after you sew and before you turn your handle, you can get nice, sharp outside corners - but yours look good. UPDATE: This weekend, I had to put some screws through fabric to attach a chair bottom and it was a mess. The screw wadded the fabric up. I ended up cutting holes in the fabric with my box knife so it wouldn't catch on the screw. Did you have any issues with the hinges? Did you cut holes first, or?
Great tip Sandy! 😊👍🏻 thanks once again for your support, it’s really appreciated!!
@@faceliftinteriors you did not answer Sandy's question :-(
Hi Sandy, sorry I didn’t see the update to your comment - for some reason TH-cam doesn’t notify me when someone updates their comment.
Yea what I usually do is staple a square around where I’m going to screw and that stops the fabric from getting taken into the screw. But cutting out a square works too 👍🏻 yea I would do the same method with the hinges as the Dacron can also get pulled out with the drill too. Hope that helps 😊
Hi Samantha - Sandy had updated her comment once she posted it so TH-cam didn’t notify me of that. But TH-cam notified me about your comment so I realised Sandy had asked a question. Thank you 😊👍🏻
You are amazingly neat and explained every detail. How much would something like this cost?
Mine needs redoing.
In Australia, most quotes are $600 and above for basic material. How long would it take?
I would be interested to compare your costings and hours to what I sm being told down under.
Thanks mate.
Hi Roxanne, it's hard to compare as in Australia the wages are much higher than here. I'm also reluctant to discuss prices on here. Drop me dm on Instagram or email me at Neilbanyard@faceliftinteriors.co.uk and I can discuss further there. Many thanks 😊 🙏
Love your videos! I am just starting out and have learnt so much from you. I wonder if you can help with something I am struggling with.... I am upholstering a dog bed which is essentially a four sided box like this ottoman box. I am not using a separate lining piece - just all the same material. I can't get my head around how to fix the material on the inside without showing staples. Have you done something like this? I would really appreciate any suggestions you have. Thanks
Hi Michelle! Thank you for watching, I’m so glad they’ve helped you! Have you got Instagram? If so, send me a picture of the dog bed on my Instagram page and I’ll try my best to advise. It’s a lot easier for me to help when I have a visual! 😊
Very nice
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
Thank you! Great Video! I want to build a storage box as my first upholstery project. One thing I ain't sure about: The total size of my box should be 120cm x 40cm. I assume, that the "fabric tube" should be 120 x 40. But.. How big should I build the wooden box, when I want to use 1cm foam and 100g padding? I think, there should be some space for the foam and padding between the fabric and the wood. Is a half cm on each side enough -> 119cm x 39cm?
Hi Rafael! Sorry for the delayed response. Yea I would probably go by the measurements you’ve said if you need it to slot exactly into a space 👍🏻
Great video . What type of wood would you recommend using to make a storage ottoman? And what thickness please I can’t believe how expensive wood is !
Hi Tanya! Have a look at my video on making a storage ottoman from scratch - let me know if you have any questions after watching - th-cam.com/video/G-fIFPhkaaY/w-d-xo.html
You’re right, wood is expensive now!!
Thanks for your reply I’ve already watched it !! And subscribed to follow you on insta!
How do you stop the Dacron rolling into bunches when you pull the fabric cover over the box?
Hi Tingette! Glue it down well and staple at the top of you need to and then push it back down as you go with a regulator if it does start to turn. Try to go little by little on each corner too, that usually helps avoid it turning 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors amazing advice, thank you! I didn’t know about that tool.
👏❤😲
Thanks mate! 👍🏻
What spray glue do you use????
Hi Caren, I use upholstery spray adhesive - mine is by Martin’s here in the UK but any upholstery spray adhesive will work 👍🏻

As soon as I get one in I will do a tutorial for you 😊👍🏻
What are the odds of a beginner being able to sew 4 sides of an ottoman together and have it fit perfectly like yours did?
I’m not a betting man but I would say if it doesn’t fit first time, it’s fairly easy to unpick and try again 😊👍🏻
I will try to do it with woodglut plans.
