Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase a heavy-duty, soft vinyl material for the seat cushion's cover. You will need vinyl thread in a matching color.

    • 2

      Cut out two equal-size squares, 16 inches. You can either measure right on the vinyl with a measuring stick, or cut out a paper square and use it as a template.

    • 3

      Buy a square piece of foam cell. Make sure it is 15 inches on each side.

    • 4

      Using either a sewing machine or a heavy-duty sewing needle, sew the vinyl on three sides, while the material is inside out. Turn the vinyl right-side out and hem both sides of the open end about half-inch.

    • 5

      Apply strips of velcro, one to each side of the open end. Velcro usually comes with a heavy duty tape strip, but for extra strength you can sew it on.

    • 6

      Insert the foam cell inside the open end of the vinyl and close the opening using the velcro.
