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.
I used screws with a small L-bracket to attach it from underneath. But, you could also use something like heavy duty velcro tape or command strips in areas where you just want to hold it down.
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
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
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. 👍
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?
Any type of upholstery fabric. You want it nice and thick when people are sitting on it. :) I have a list of some of my favorites here www.abbottsathome.com/top-upholstery-fabrics-amazon/
Hi! I love that fabric too. But, they don't seem to sell it anymore. I do have a list of some of my favorite upholstery fabrics here: www.abbottsathome.com/top-upholstery-fabrics-amazon/ There are some really pretty options on that list. :)
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. :)
It works like any upholstered furniture. You can spot clean with upholstered cleaners or use a portable upholstery cleaners like the Bissell Spot Clean Pro.

Perfect - just the video I need for step by step.
this was so underrated. Really good job. You can add cleats to the back to put it on the wall too.
Thanks! Good tip!
EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you!!
Glad I could help!

Thanks and good luck with your project. 😊
Awesome Making mine this week I am adding no adhesive liners to the bottom so the staples do not scratch the wood in my breakfast nook
That cat can't wait to get his paws on this new scratch pad once it's done 🤭 hehe thanks for the cushion tips
Lol, she uses one of my Dining Room chairs for scratching. This bench seat is her napping spot. 😂

Thank you. Used your trips to cover a bench seat in my Airstream. Came out great.
Fantastic! So happy to help. 😊
Wow good job❤
Thank you!
Great instructions. But how did you attach your cushion to the bench?
I used screws with a small L-bracket to attach it from underneath. But, you could also use something like heavy duty velcro tape or command strips in areas where you just want to hold it down.
Wow, thank you for showing me how to do this!
Happy to help!

What size thickness foam you use?
Nevermind. Just noticed it’s 3”
Do you attach it to the seat then to make sure it doesn't shift when you sit on it?
I used screws for this bench. In some cases, just heavy duty Velcro tape could work. 😊

The hammer tip was great! Thank you😊😊

@@AbbottsAtHome Thanks yeah, I will have a go👍
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?
‘Extra Loft’ is the thickness. It’s a nice, thick batting. 👍 Good luck with your new project!
What kind of fabric works best?
Any type of upholstery fabric. You want it nice and thick when people are sitting on it. :) I have a list of some of my favorites here www.abbottsathome.com/top-upholstery-fabrics-amazon/
What spray adhesive?
Nice!
Thank You!
wow!! It's amazing. I like your fabric. Where did you buy it?
Hi! I love that fabric too. But, they don't seem to sell it anymore. I do have a list of some of my favorite upholstery fabrics here: www.abbottsathome.com/top-upholstery-fabrics-amazon/ There are some really pretty options on that list. :)
Did you attach the wood on the bottom of the cushion to the piece of furniture?
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. :)
How many yards did you use?
I think I bought 2 yards, but I had extra. 👍
May I ask the name of your fabric you used here?
It's Magnolia Homes Brighton Navy Fabric :)
How you going to wash?
It works like any upholstered furniture. You can spot clean with upholstered cleaners or use a portable upholstery cleaners like the Bissell Spot Clean Pro.
Can I use a glue gun instead of stapler?
Nope, sorry. It won’t be strong enough.
thats cause im a star
Great video! Very helpful. Thanks!
You’re welcome!!
