How To Make A Window Cushion

Easy, Stapled DIY Window Seat Cushion

Have you lot been following along with my 1 Room Challenge? If not, I am making over my home function with a six-calendar week deadline; I will be posting this week'south progress on Thursday and you can catch upwardly on what I accomplished last weekHERE. I had long envisioned my plans for the built-inswith a window seat, merely it wasn't until last week that I even idea of a window seatcushion.I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted only after taking measurements, I knew it had to be under 2″ to fit nether the window sill. Since it would primarily be for artful, the lack of substantial padding didn't carp me. I have never DIY'd with textile, cream, boards, etc., but laying in bed Saturday morn, I created a plan of action that would requite me an easy, stapled DIY window seat cushion by that afternoon.

THE SUPPLIES

one sheet of plywood(thinnest bachelor; sheet cut at Lowe'south)
whorl of poly cream(shown- ane″ x 27″ 10 76″
fabric (ii.5 yards for 76 inch length)
spray agglutinative
staple gun
1/4″ staples

Earlier starting, I ironed the fabric. Full disclosure, every bit I mentioned, I wasn't certain what I wantedexactly; I very well may change the fabric before the challenge is over to a thicker, duck cloth fabric or use a thin throw-blanket from HomeGoods.

IMPORTANT: make sure to lay your cut wood on the window seat. I was so glad we did this because my canvass was actually cut crooked. Instead of taking it back, my married man took a metal file and went to town on the side to even information technology upwardly and make it fit in the infinite. Depending on the thickness of your textile, yous may desire to adjust your measurement in by 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Spray one side of the board with the spray agglutinative. I was careful non to spray on the carpet simply depending on the forcefulness and spray, yous may want to do this step outside.

Line upward the corner of the cream beyond the board. When straight, printing downward.

Cutting the excess with scissors or a knife.You will want this to be direct and so apply the border of the board as your guide. Considering my foam was an inch short, I used the excess to make full the gap and then cut again.

The foam should encompass the entire board. You tin can lift up the sides and spray more agglutinative under the foam in any spots that didn't take.

Lay your ironed fabric flat and place the cream covered board, foam side down, in the center.

When your fabric is straight, take one side, wrap information technology over and pull taut. Staple that side to the board, pulling it taut as you go. I had my married man pace in for this function.

Pull the other side tight, wrap the board, and echo the same steps. If y'all realize you accept a lilliputian extra fabric that wasn't pulled tightly plenty, take the material and pull it again, stapling along the fold.

Take the ends and fold them similar you are wrapping a gift. If you take a LOT of excess material, you can cut a little off the ends before folding.

Pull it tightly and staple.

Pay attending to your corners to brand certain extra fabric doesn't bunch up. Echo on the other side.

That's it! You tin can finish this entire project in under 30 minutes and it's so unproblematic, anyone can do information technology. Place the absorber on your bench and admire your self sufficiency 😉

As I mentioned, Imay be taking the material off and trying something new depending on how the rest of my room comes together.

A fiddling sneak peek of more than progress earlier the full study on Th 😉 We are almost at the halfway point and then I promise you'll join me and check back then to see what I've been up to!
