I was so inspired by this post from Oh Joy! (so cute!!!), that I decided to try & make some chair cushions too.
Using fabric samples, here are the four I made - starting with my favorite:
and the flip side:
Party in the front, business in the back!
I would have loved to have four of the above, but I had to shake it up as I didn't have enough of one sample. Plus, it's fun to shake it up!
Fronts
Backs
I really need to give that deck table some love...
All piled up & ready to go!
Instructions are included in the link above, but they are almost completely no-sew thanks to Liquid Stitch
fabric
scissors
foam cushion
needle & thread
chalk (optional) but it helped me outline the fabric before cutting
Overall, these weren't too difficult to make. I don't think they are perfect by any means, but I love them just the same!
I used two different fabric materials on the first one & they were a little resistant to staying glued together (I had to re-glue some sections). The other three have different colors but are of the same material & therefore were a lot easier to glue together. Also, some fabrics fray more than others, the "bamboo" fabric (top of the pile above) shown in mine have a little fraying on the back edges, so it might be a good thing to test if this will be an issue/drive you crazy.
Another great thing? Get tired of the fabric or it gets worn out? Change them up!
I hope this also inspires you to make some fun chair cushions!
Cheers,
S
ps: Affiliate links above to Amazon - I often get my crafting supplies from them as I can find everything I need/want - and because I get lazy/love I'll have it all at my door asap! :-)
