diy bench cushion {no sewing required!}

I am finally at the last phase of my garage entrance!  {It has only taken about 6 months.}  I wanted cushions for the two benches, but ordering custom cushions can be very expensive.  So I decided to create my own.  It was cheaper than ordering the finished product, but keep in mind that foam is not cheap.

I had a quarter inch piece of plywood cut to size.  Then I cut a piece of foam to the same size.

Add some wood glue and put the foam on top.  I ended up cutting a second piece of foam and placing it on top to add extra cushion.  I didn't use any glue, just laid it on top.

Next I cut a piece of batting that gave me at least 3 inches extra on all sides.

I pulled it taut and secured with a couple staples from my staple gun.

I repeated the same process with my fabric, making sure that it was pulled tight and smooth.  I folded the corners like the corner of a present.

Secure with enough staples to make sure that the fabric will lay flat.  Because this cushion is going into an area of my home that is always dirty I chose outdoor fabric.  I love the pattern and the material feels durable.

Kailey had to inspect the final product to make sure that the cushion was soft enough!  I will be posting a reveal of the entire space in the next day or two, so make sure you check back.

Enjoy your beautiful Thursday,
