[@morgansimonestudio]

THIS MEANS SO MUCH SISTER! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@rokjai06]

Thank you for this - i've been working on a version of this couch for months and I'm definitely gonna have to try the mason jar trick! I'm inspired to finish - your couch came out beautifully!!!

[@morgansimonestudio]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ROJAUNA! 💖This makes me so happy! This project took me forever so I feel you entirely! I know your couch is going to be stunning!! 🤩

[@catie5939]

I'm getting so much inspo from this sofa series! Have you seen the one by SERKO mebel here on youtube? I thought the way he got around some of the carving part was pretty clever. I love this so much and I'm doing all the research to make my own. Thank you for documenting your process, it's amazing! :D

[@morgansimonestudio]

Omg I just watched Serko's video and this is brilliant! That will save you so much time and be way less messy than hand carving 🤣 Thank you for sharing that I know your project will turn out amazing 💖

[@shllewis9]

Honestly I would love to know how long did this take you to do because, I have never seen nobody use a mason jar as a shaver thing before, and then ending your couch turned out amazing, out of all couches I seen being made whether they was made from the pallets I loved yours the best because it brought your personally to it, which by the way is amazing I need to soak up your energy I am a subscriber now for life looking forward to more transformations DIY

[@morgansimonestudio]

Omg thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is so encouraging I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and subscribe!! It took forever honestly 😂 mainly because I procrastinated a lot because I was so worried about messing up. I “started” the project last September and worked on it on and off for about 8 months!!!

[@shllewis9]

@@morgansimonestudio it was really worth it,if I could do this it probably would take me forever to make myself

[@evelynguzman1675]

What type of glue is?

[@morgansimonestudio]

It's called 3M Foam Fast 74 Spray Adhesive! I linked it above if you're thinking of creating something 🤩

[@lovemyson480]

You only used 1 each of foam listed in video?

[@morgansimonestudio]

Hi! I used multiple sheets of the varying foam sizes. If you pause on the materials list (at the 0:25 second mark!) I mapped out how much I used of each size! These quantities are based on 4 ottomans, 3 seat backs and 2 arm rests ☺
