Ottoman slipcovers to dress up my dorm room

Guest post written by Mandy Gordon

My first year of college I didn't really bother to decorate my dorm room and it was the most depressing thing ever! I always found excuses to stay out of my dorm room. But before I went back for my sophomore year this year, I decided to decorate my dorm room to make it feel a little homier. Along with that, I bought some cheap little ottomans that you can store stuff in to use with my futon, but they're already looking pretty ragged.
So I decided that instead of having terrible looking ottomans or buying some new ones, I'd make some slipcovers for them. When I was home last weekend I used my parents' Clear wireless internet 4g to look up some directions on how to make some. While I was home I went with my mom to the fabric store to pick out some fabric and sewed them together that afternoon.
Each ottoman slipcover was really easy to use and I bought some sturdy cotton fabric in a cute print to make sure that I could wash the slipcovers in case they get dirty.
