Want to give an all new look to the same old couch? You may not have all the money to replace the couch but you can change the cushion covers for sure. Here are some interesting and absolutely cheap ways to do up your cushion covers.
Buttoned up
If you think that you are not very creative then this is one of the best options that you have. Just collect some different colored buttons of different sizes. If you can manage one or two fancy buttons which are generally found on women dresses, then nothing like it. Now arrange these buttons in the form of any pattern and just sew them up. And if you cannot think of a decent pattern, just put them up in an arbitrary manner.
Flowering felt
This one is the best option if winters are round the corner. You can make small and pretty flowers with a cloth and fix it in on the cushion. To do this, you first need to cut out small circles from a cloth. Cut four to five bigger circles and one small circle. Now fold the bigger circles one by one in the form of a cone. Stitch it up at the hem. Hand-stitch these cones to form a flower with the smaller circle at the center.
Ribbon race
This is yet another simple and easy idea to do up your cushion cover. For this you will need ribbons in beautiful and bright colors. Try to opt for ribbon in colors that are in complete contrast to the color of your cushion cover. You simply need to sew running stitches in one straight line through the cushion. Keep on running the ribbon in and out of the cushion cover and you will be able to form a great design.
Paint riot
Those who are even average at the task of painting should be able to make a decent design on your cushion covers. You can paint just about anything on your cushion covers from small polka dots to straight lines to flowers. But if you are one of those who can't even hold the paintbrush correctly, then you need not worry. Remember the blow paining that you did as a child. Just do that. Simply take some wet paint and spray it in an abstract manner on the cover. Blow the paint across the cover to create beautiful designs.
Cut it out
Take out all your old clothes, the ones that you just do not feel like wearing any more. Now cut out any types of shapes from these clothes. If these clothes carry any patterns or designs then even better. Now just stitch these cutouts on the cushion cover and you are sure to have an innovative cushion cover.
These simple and innovative cushion cover ideas will not just jazz up your couch but will change the complete feel of your drawing room.
