So, I'm soo excited about the project John and I completed tonight...together!!! While Seth was sick he had an accident and despite my many attempts to get the smell all cleaned out I just couldn't. Soooo, what's a girl with a heightened sense of smell to do? You give in? Well, you replace the couch cushions! Here's how our little project went down.
*John was such a great sport with me snapping pictures and he even humored me as I made him pose for some. Gotta love me babe.
|
The foam roll-it's 2.5yards of 5" thick foam |
|
The yuck nasty one it was replacing...ewwww |
|
The batting that I bought to wrap about cushion for some extra fluff |
|
Using the old cushion as a pattern to make new one |
|
Both drawn and ready to cut |
|
The type of knife needed to cut foam. |
|
The crazed psycho needed to operate above mentioned knife.
*This is humored pose by hubs...it was worth it! |
|
less crazed more cutting |
|
Cushion #1, ready for batting |
|
batting was for a full size bed. I folded it yellow star to yellow star, then red to red and cut on the fold.
This gave me 2 sections to cover each cushion. |
|
I used craft glue to stick the batting down |
|
a little trim-a-roo |
|
replace the cushion covers and voila!!!!
|
I think it looks great and best of all, the covers were freshly washed so the couch smells soo nice! I'm super proud of us and we had a great time doing it. I wish I could tell you about our conversations, but you'd REALLY have to understand the two of us otherwise it just sounds mean. Like this-
John: Hmmm my phone is acting stupid
Me: Wasn't when I had it
John: Well that's the problem, it caught your stupid
Bwhahahahahhahaha, ahhh I love our marriage :)
