The AFTER...
My original plan with this banquette was to just make covers for the pink cushions. BUT, when I took them off to give them a good clean, I literally had to peeeeel them off. BARF. The underside of them all were covered in grease and rice. No joke. It was so nasty. So, I put gloves on, put them in the back of my van, and brought them to the dump. EWWWWW.
On to plan B... Call my Dad!
First, I made a stencil with kraft paper of the 3 pieces I wanted to make.
Then, I headed to Pop's house to go lumber shopping and cut our plywood to size and get Baba to watch the kiddies while I go fabric hunting... My Favourite thing on earth to do!!
At home, I cut the foam to size and used spray adhesive to adhere it to the plywood.
Next, I layed out my fabric and batting and went bananas stapling. I knew 2 years in Cut 'n Paste school would come in handy.
Every great piece of art needs a signature!
Flip it over, put it in place and admire my hard work...
Can't forget to sew 100 pillows to match.
I love how it turned out. The best part, is that when I get bored of the fabric, I can rip it off and re-staple a new pattern. Super Easy. I also chose an Outdoor fabric. My kids have spilled everything imaginable already, and it beads right off. Awesome!
