I had a woven footstool that was beginning to come apart. Instead of purchasing expensive reed to re-weave it, I decided to cover it with genuine leather from a secondhand coat I purchased for two bucks! I left the woven part of the stool intact to create stability. The upholstery tacks were 97 cents. Total cost of project - $2.97.
Approximate Time: 2 hours

Wow, not only is this super thrifty, it turned out looking really great! It's better than brand new.
You did a fantastic job! It looks really "high end" now.
