So. I know. These seat cushions are ridiculous. My team gets all the credit. They are amazing. And you wanna know how you can make them yourself. Well, it’s super easy!!! I did a really simple DIY post over on Brit a while back, but wanted to share it here as well. Don’t forget to go see the full event that I posted the other day!
Spruce up your seats! Whether you are throwing an outdoor BBQ or a huge wedding, it’s easy to add a spark of your personality to your seats with a dose of scrappy DIY action. These are great to have on hand at home for last minute dinner parties or game nights and are a lot of fun to make. For this project, we used ivory seat cushions from Ikea ($5.99 a pop!), fabric paint, and our trusty roll of painter’s tape.
Materials:
- basic seat cushions
- painter’s tape
- fabric paint (we used Tulip Soft Fabric Paint)
Get all of your materials in order and tape off a section of your seat cushion in a funpattern. We started this one with a simple blue triangle.
Now it’s time to paint!
Any paint brush and fabric paint combo will do, but we like this soft fabric paint because it has a more velveteen finish and looks less shiny than some paints. Let the paint dry for 2-3 hours. Then remove your tape and have a set!
How might you customize cushions for your home or for a big event? If you give these a try, we’d love to see photos! Send ‘em our way on Twitter or Facebook. And if you have any questions about this tutorial, be sure to leave us a note in the comments below.
What a great DIY decorating idea! I’d be too afraid to try a geometric design like you have here, though (too easy to spot the boo-boos!). But a free-hand graphic might be doable!
AMEI!!! PRABENS… LAURA (BRASIL)
