Step 2




• Use a marker to draw an arrow shape around the bottom of the cushion.
• The arrow's point should fall toward the center of the cushion.
• The points on the sides of the arrow should extend well beyond the edge of the cushion. They should not be aligned with the corners of the cushion.
• This is done to ensure that there will be enough fabric to sufficiently cover the cushion.
• The bottom of the arrow should line up with the sides and bottom of the cushion.
• Repeat this step to draw a wider arrow for the side of the cushion.

Step 4
• Attach the tip of the arrow to the inside of the cushion and fold the rest of the arrow over the outside.
• Using glue or sewing the arrow to the pad will result in a permanent fix, but if you make a mistake you may not be able to undo it.
• Repeat this step to attach each arrow to the appropriate side of each cushion
