Thank you so much! This is so helpful. I just bought some high-loft batting to prevent the flat fabric on flat foam look you warned against! Your video answered my questions about the steps of stapling and how to do the corners. God bless you!

Came out good. I give myself a 7 out of 10. I made 3 cushions, each got a little better with lessons learned. What I would have done differently: 1. Sharp scissors - seems obvious - just overlooked. 2. Apply EVEN pressure when I pulled the fabric. This was not as bad as I used High density foam, had I used Medium density it would have been less forgiving and I would have likely had to restart. Thx for sharing.

Lol, she uses one of my Dining Room chairs for scratching. This bench seat is her napping spot. 😂
Great tutorial I did something similar 5 years ago. This is a greta technique for those of us who cannot make a sewn fabric cover. And I want to to do two more. I did not use batting or wadding. But I will do this time. How thick was your extra loft batting?
@AbbottsAtHome

‘Extra Loft’ is the thickness. It’s a nice, thick batting. 👍 Good luck with your new project!
Hi, is there a way to protectv the wood underneath cushion so the staples don't damage any good wood they are sitting on that are the bench top ? Thanks
@AbbottsAtHome
2 жыл бұрын
Hi! You can use a heavy duty Velcro tape to hold the bench still against that wood. And, a little hot glue and extra fabric or ribbon to cover the staples. 😊
Brilliant. I will have a go at this method. Do you think by using this method I can create rounded corners for the front without showing any creases? Obviously I will need to cut rounded corners on the wood base and foam but I only want the folds showing on the back square corners. The curves will be about 3" radius. Thank you
@AbbottsAtHome

Thanks! With that radius, you can probably make such tiny folds on the bottom that you won’t notice them on the top or sides. Kind of like Dining Room chairs. 👍

Did you attach the wood on the bottom of the cushion to the piece of furniture?
@AbbottsAtHome

I used small angle brackets to attach this cushion to the bench frame I built. But, you could also use heavy duty velcro tape to hold the seat in place, to prevent movement. :)
What kind of fabric works best?

Nope, sorry. It won’t be strong enough.
