How to make silhouette cushion covers
Add a special touch to your living room with these unique DIY cushion covers! These covers can be personalised with any silhouette you choose so it can truly be a one-of-a-kind cushion for your couch.
You will need:
- Silhouette template (it can anything you want but choose a picture that isn’t too detailed around the edges)
- Thin adhesive-backed felt
- Sharpie
- Scissors
- Needle
- Embroidery thread
- Solid colour cushion cover
How to:
1. Make a paper copy of the photo or picture you would like to use. You can google silhouettes on the internet if you don’t have a particular image in mind. Carefully cut around the paper template.
2. Place template on the back of the adhesive-backed felt. Trace around the template on the paper backing with a sharpie. Cut out the felt shape.
3. Deicide where you want to place your silhouette. Peel paper backing and stick shape on your cushion cover.
4. As the adhesive won’t last for multiple washes, it’s a good idea to sew the felt in place. Using your needle and embroidery thread, sew around the edge of the shape.
