Brilliant! It's like wrapping a big present! To keep the house quiet I had to watch the video with no sound and was still able to figure out how to do this. I need to quickly make a bench cushion for a van and will use a Harbor Freight drop cloth and this design/process to make my cover. No time for sewing, measuring, etc. I may use a bit of fabric paint on the fabric to dress it up just a bit. Thanks a million!
I love that idea. I'm glad you found the video helpful and I'm sure in a van it'll hold up well for a long time!
I just watched 6 videos, on DIY outdoor cushions and was totally disappointed.., until I saw yours!
I am impressed by your technique, materials and tips.
Well presented, easy instructions and affordable. Kudos to you: best in class!
Hi Debra, thank you! Some extra tips after having this on my porch for a while... some of the sticky on the Velcro became less sticky so I brought out the glue gun and reinforced all the seams and now it’s as good as new!
Same here!!
This us doable, I'm just gonna use a hot glue gun
Your the best!! I can't sew, this is perfect.
I’m so glad you found it helpful 😊
Love this diy😊
Thank you! 😊
Very clear instructions. Love the use of a vinyl tablecloth. More Velcro! And I’d likely use glue since Velcro sticky seems to wear down. Btw: The trick to neat gift wrapping corners is to trim the ends before you start. But not too much! And using an iron on low could help pinch the folds. Thank you!
These are great tips! Thank you for sharing
I love this friendly diy budget idea! Great for a quick outdoor cushion. I'm making some cushions as well and found your video very helpful!
I’m so happy to hear this, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing.
Great idea! I'm going to recover my outside bench!
Thank you and by the way, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you!
Thanks to your vid I covered an ugly grey seat cushion with baroque pattern white and gold vinyl. It looks absolutely magnificent now! Very classy. Thank you sooo much! :-)
I’m so happy to hear that! I’m glad you found use from my video
Looks easy and inexpensive and very nice! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Great video! Your cushion looks wonderful on the bench! I'm ready to make some cushions for my metal patio chairs 😀! Thanks!
Thanks!
WOW! Ive been trying to think of a way to make easy cushions after my dog shredded all of mine, like 4 years ago. I cant stomach paying $40-$60 a piece for new ones. I cant wait to try this. Thanks
I hope these hold up well for you!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Now I know exactly how to do this without a board and staple gun, and it's waterproof and will wipe clean! Love it 😀
Thank you! I’m so glad you found it useful
Great minds think alike. I did this but used pins. Your idea is much better with the tape...wish I had watched ur vid when I made my first one 3 yrs ago.
This is beautifully demonstrated and by far the best and most inspiring use of materials.thankyou so much for taking time to share this ❤️
Thank you Tricia! I’m so glad that you found it helpful!
Great idea! ❤️
thank you!
Genius!.. you are gonna save me sooo much money
Thanks Dianta!
Thank you for this! I have just purchased a teak picnic table set and the benches are in need of cushions. Looked everywhere online for the size I need and it would cost $100 for two. I will be getting some foam asap. To keep the cushions in place I may have to place some type of rubber strips underneath to keep them from moving around on the benches which are flat with no back
It’s so crazy how expensive ready made cushions are. I hope your DIY ones turn out great. If you want to share a photo of your final product with me on Facebook or Instagram I’d love to see what you make!
Very well explained. 🙏💖
Thank you!
Thank you for the idea 😁
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for making this job super easy!
I'm glad you found it useful!
I’ve made a cover like this before. Because of heat, rain and weather conditions the table cloth doesn’t last long. I think when showing a project you should have all the materials needed for the project. No excuse for not have the Velcro. For a quick cover this will work. 😊
Thank you for your feedback.
Very helpful.. great video 👍
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful
Great idea
Thank you mam ❤️❤️
From India
Glad you enjoyed it!
Like Debra’s comments yours is the best. And maybe I’ll try mine with shower curtain. 👍👍👍👍
Molly, I’d love to see what you make! Maybe you can share it with me on Instagram or Facebook?
Great Idea Molly!
Excellent
Thanks!
You can also use shower curtains from the dollar store, makes them waterproof
Great idea!
What type or foam was this is there a link for the products you used for this. Looks great thanks
Here’s a link to the foam: www.homedepot.com/p/FUTURE-FOAM-3-in-Thick-Multi-Purpose-Foam-10030BULK3/203837114
The table cloth I bought off Amazon. There are so many great patterns and colors on there
Wrap foam with a flannel tablecloth like a present. Use velcro instead of tape. .....your welcome
This a great idea. I was originally gonna use polyester shower curtains but they were so thin. Can I ask were they at all "crunchy" to sit on?
Thank you! I wouldn’t say they’re crunchy, but they do have a little vinyl squeak noise. Once I’m settled they don’t have any noise
How comfy is it when it gets hot from the sun
Hi Delma, I’m not sure. Mine is always in the shade. I imagine the vinyl table cloth might get pretty warm
This was such a great idea! Unrelated question...the cookware hanging behind you....would you mind sharing the brand and whether it is hard anodized? If so, how do you like it, how has it held up and what is your cleaning method for it?
Hi Veronica, thank you. They are calphalon nonstick. I’m not sure if they’re hard anodized. I’ve had them about 4 years and most have held up pretty well but the pan I used most is no longer nonstick. Calphalon is supposed to have a great warranty system but I haven’t had any luck contacting them. We always wash them by hand and followed the instructions they came with. They’re decent pans but in the future when more wear out, I will mostly likely choose a different brand due to the lack of customer support I’ve experienced.
How did you cut that foam do perfect
Hi Terry, it's not 100% perfect but the trick is to do shallow slices (maybe 1/2" or so) with the knife over and over until the foam is cut all the way through. Try not to squish the foam down while you're cutting and this should make a pretty even edge. Then the thickness of the table cloth helps hide any other imperfections.
And up it pops lol.
How thick is your piece of foam? I'm having trouble locating. If you'd provide a link, I'd be eternally grateful and subscribe
I believe I used 3” foam, something similar to this:

@@LavenderButtonsDesign Thank you!
Can you do this for a indoor cloth cushions?
Absolutely!
Hey there! Thank you for this post as I am floored how much replacement cushions were at the store! Would you happen to know the exact foam you used and how much it was? TKS!!!!
I’m glad you found it helpful! I got the foam at Home Depot, it’s 3” multi purpose foam and it was about $20 for a 2x6 ft piece
Great & explained so well. I want to make a fabric cushion for my indoor storage bench cushion. Can you tell me if this would transfer over? Thanks!
@@Kim-ld9kb Hi, my apologies for the delay in responding. I believe this would work well for an indoor storage bench too!
Good tutorial, but I would suggest just leave off the music, since I would rather hear your voice clearly instructing the 'how to'. Unfortunately, I could not hear half of what you said because the music overlapped and was a bit too loud. Other than that though you seemed to instruct clearly in your actions, and I did get some good ideas. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the feedback!
Does this stay intact with lots of use
If you plan to use it a lot, I would be very generous with the amount of Velcro you use. I ended up having to go back and reinforce mine with more Velcro and a little hot glue. I only use mine occasionally though. The great news is that it’s easy and inexpensive to fix if it gets worn out
Can you please mention the dimension of the foam which you use in the video?
Hi Richa, I don’t remember what size the full piece of foam I bought was. I checked the Home Depot website and they have a few depths that are 2ftx6ft. My bench measure 49.5”x19” so that’s what size I cut the foam down to.
How long did it last?
I have mine on a covered porch and it’s held up really well. I did end up mending it with a hot glue gun on the seams to reinforce it and it’s pretty sturdy.
can you also please add links for raw material purchase?
Hi! Here’s the link for the table cloth: www.amazon.com/Home-Fashions-Waterproof-Geometric-Tablecloth/dp/B01ELOW7EM/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=table+cloth+felt+back&qid=1595992763&sr=8-7
Here’s the link for the foam: Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

i used a hot glue gun and some fiber board.
Great idea!
Hi. Where can we get those table cloths?
Hi, I bought this one off of Amazon, here's the link to the one I got: www.amazon.com/Home-Fashions-Waterproof-Geometric-Tablecloth/dp/B01ELOW7EM/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=table+cloth+felt+back&qid=1595992763&sr=8-7
Thanks a bunch!
Could you glue it instead of velcrow?
@@crazey4utube yes absolutely, I ended up reinforcing mine after a while with some hot glue and it held up really well.
