Your Next Weekend Project, Found: DIY Chair Cushions

Cotton

Turn your thrift store find into a bold new piece of furniture. This DIY from our friends at Brit + Co is sure to show your guests the wow factor. 

What You Need

Sandpaper
Spray paint
Cotton fabric
Fabric scissors
Staple gun
Screwdriver

Steps

Step 1

Use a screwdriver to take apart the seat cushion of your chair.

Step 2

Sand down the chair base and spray-paint it in your favorite color.

Step 3

Lay the chair cushion on top of your fabric, and cut a large square that will wrap around the cushion. Start by putting a staple in the middle of each side. Then work your way out to the corners.

Step 4

Once you’ve reached a corner, fold the fabric inward, pull tightly, and staple to hold the fold.

Step 5

Reassemble the chair and you’re ready to take a seat!
