Recliner Foot Rest Repair

 

Underside of foot rest.
😃Great condition, but I don't use that side.

 

Top side of foot rest. Worn from 

roughness and resting shoes on it .

1. Removed the worn part.

2.Underneath, cambric and thin

wood behind it.

 3. Used Gorilla Glue to glue down the loose vinyl.

1.Glued red felt over the cambric and wood .

2. Sewed a new cushion with extra stuffing.  Vinyl was purchased

from Hobby Lobby. NOTE: The new vinyl is better quality than what's on the chair.

3. Using velcro tabs to attach the new footrest cushion.

Though it isn't professionally upholstered, it suits me just fine. The extra stuffing makes it even more comfortable than it originally was. 

That's it***🪑

Dairy Free Mug Cake

   

 In  past  posts I've written about  Chocolate Mug Cake (requires egg, oil and milk )

 and  Wacky Cake/Depression Cake. The Depression Cake  highlights being able to make a cake without eggs and milk which were scarce during the Depression era.

    The Dairy Free Mug Cake is ideal for those following a plant based diet.  You can find additional flavors at Toasty Apron  which is where I found this recipe.

The Result

The red bird was made from air dry clay, painted and wired to the branch. 

How I Did It

Brown paper wrapped around wire to make branches. Leaves from air dry clay and painted. Tree made from twisted brown paper, painted and glued to canvas. 

There  are flaws such as the frraming being crooked but, not bad for a first try.

That's it.***
