Are you tired of sitting on uncomfortable chairs? Do you want to add a touch of creativity and comfort to your seating arrangements? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to create your own ball cushion. Let's get started!
Materials Needed
- A large exercise ball
- High-density foam
- Fabric of your choice
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Sewing machine
- Needle and thread
- Pins
- Velcro strips
Step 1: Preparing the Foam
Measure the exercise ball's circumference and cut the high-density foam into strips of the same length. The width of the strips should be at least twice the width of the foam you desire. Wrap the foam strips around the ball, securing them with pins, and trim any excess foam.
Step 2: Sewing the Fabric Cover
Measure the circumference and height of the foam-covered ball. Add an extra inch to both measurements for seam allowance. Cut a rectangular piece of fabric using these measurements. Fold the fabric in half, right sides together, aligning the shorter edges. Sew the longer edges together, leaving one end open.
Step 3: Attaching the Velcro Strips
Flip the fabric cover right side out and slide it onto the foam-covered ball. Align the open end of the cover with the ball's opening. Sew Velcro strips along the opening of the fabric cover and the corresponding areas on the foam. This will hold the cushion in place.
Step 4: Adding the Finishing Touches
Smooth out any wrinkles or uneven areas in the fabric cover. Use a needle and thread to stitch the open end of the cover closed. To give your ball cushion a decorative touch, you can add buttons or ribbons. Get creative!
