Materials List:
Fabric (must live pre-washed, without the utilization of whatsoever stuff softener, dried together with ironed)
Fabric Paint
Sponge
Masking Tape (a twosome of dissimilar widths)
Wool
Needle together with thread
Drop cloth
Rubber gloves

How-To:
Cut the forepart panel of stuff for your cushion at to the lowest degree 5cm larger than the finished size to allow for seam allowance when it’s sewn into a cushion cover, together with start to programme out your blueprint amongst masking tape. I’m inspired yesteryear 50’s graphic patterns, architectural details, tiles together with more, thence amongst that inwards mind, I’ll start taping away together with freehand the design. Using a twosome of dissimilar widths of record volition brand your lastly blueprint that fleck to a greater extent than interesting and, every bit you lot go, it’s slow to arrange the record together with reapply to teach the blueprint you lot want, but produce brand certain it’s firmly stuck to the fabric.

Cover your run surface amongst a driblet cloth together with pre-mix your stuff paint. I observe it’s likewise thick out of the package, thence I H2O it downwards to the consistency of whipping cream. Then don a pair of condom gloves together with teach to run - Dip the sponge together with drive together with crush off the excess before working on the fabric. Dab away together with start to covert your taped design, aiming non to shift the record every bit you lot go!

With the record inwards house allow the stuff to dry out overnight on a novel driblet cloth or, inwards my case, laid it to dry out inwards the hot Portuguese sun. Finally the almost exciting purpose - Carefully take the record to expose the finished design. I dearest the randomness of the lastly expect of the sponged design, together with don’t hear a fiddling coloring haemorrhage hither of there, or fifty-fifty places where I’ve missed roofing the stuff solely (you get got to encompass happy accidents!). To ‘fix’ the design, together with teach inwards to a greater extent than durable, Fe the contrary of the blueprint on a high setting amongst steam.

Then run upwards up your cushion covert or, inwards my representative piece I’m living abroad without my machine, convey the stuff to a lady called Carla together with enquire (in really bad Portuguese) to run upwards the cushion covert upwards for you. Once that’s all happened, side yesteryear side stride is to brand your pom-poms! Honestly, your get-go i volition expect awful, thence brand certain you lot get got plenty wool around to brand at to the lowest degree v or vi every bit you lot teach to a greater extent than accomplished. Take a expect on YouTube for to a greater extent than info, but here’s the bare bones of it - Wrap the wool around the widest purpose of your manus at to the lowest degree 100 times (less volition live likewise skimpy, believe me on this). Snip together with thence carefully slide the wrapped wool off of your manus then, amongst the assistance of a friend, necktie a really tight knot through the centre of the wrapped wool, leaving the ends of your necktie overnice together with long (this’ll come upwards inwards useful later). Snip through the loops on either side of your knot, together with fluff upwards all of the ends. Yes, it’s ugly, but a fleck of fourth dimension together with a haircut amongst a sudden pair of pair of scissors together with you’ll halt upwards amongst something passably attractive.

To attach your pom-poms to your cushion cover, utilization the long tails from your necktie to uncovering the knot together with stitch through this expanse to attach it to the corner of the cushion. It’s best to produce this without the fill upwards within the cushion only thence your stitches don’t grab the fill upwards every bit you lot go. Note: Your pom-poms, though wildly fun together with on-trend, produce brand your cushion non machine washable, thence this way from right away on it’s spot-clean only for this baby…
