Are you tired of sitting on a hard and uncomfortable bench? A cushion can make all the difference by providing a soft and cozy seating experience. Plus, making your own bench cushion allows you to customize it according to your preferences. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of making a bench cushion. Let’s get started!

Gather the Materials

Before you begin, gather all the materials you’ll need for this DIY project. Here’s a list:

  • Foam padding
  • Fabric of your choice
  • Tape measure
  • Sewing machine (or hand sewing supplies if you prefer)
  • Sewing pins
  • Scissors
  • Thread

Measure and Cut

Start by measuring the bench length and width. Add an inch to each measurement to account for seam allowances. Next, measure the thickness of your foam padding. Use these measurements to cut out two identical pieces of fabric for the top and bottom of the cushion. Additionally, cut a long strip of fabric to serve as the side panel of the cushion.

Sew the Side Panel

Take the long strip of fabric and fold it in half lengthwise, with the patterned side facing inward. Pin along the raw edges and sew them together using a ½ inch seam allowance. Once sewn, you will have a fabric tube.

Attach the Top and Bottom Fabric

Now it’s time to attach the top and bottom fabric to the side panel. Place one of the fabric pieces with the patterned side facing down. Align the raw edges of the side panel with the fabric piece. Pin them together, ensuring the fabric’s right sides are facing each other. Repeat this step with the other fabric piece, leaving a small opening for turning the cushion right side out.

Sew the Cushion Together

Using a sewing machine or hand sewing supplies, sew around the pinned edges, leaving the small opening unsewn. Remove the pins and trim the excess fabric. Carefully turn the cushion right side out through the opening.

Insert the Foam Padding

Take your foam padding and insert it into the cushion through the opening. Ensure the foam fits snugly inside. Once inserted, hand stitch the opening closed using a needle and thread.

Enjoy Your DIY Bench Cushion

Voila! You’ve successfully made your very own bench cushion. Now, place it on your bench and enjoy the added comfort it provides. You can also personalize your cushion by adding decorative buttons or ties. Get creative and have fun with it!

Remember, making a bench cushion is a rewarding DIY project that allows you to create a comfortable and stylish seating solution. So, next time you’re in need of a cushioned seat, why not try making your own?
