DIY Cushion Makeover: How to Decorate with Felt Circles
Looking to add a pop of color and personality to your home decor without spending a fortune? This easy DIY cushion makeover using felt circles is the perfect weekend project. Whether you're refreshing old cushions or customizing new ones, felt circles offer a playful, modern twist that suits any style.
✂️ Materials You'll Need
• Plain cushion covers (cotton or linen work best)
• Felt sheets in assorted colors
• Fabric glue or needle and thread
• Scissors or circle punch
• Chalk or fabric marker (optional for placement)
๐จ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Choose Your Color Palette
Pick felt colors that complement your room’s theme. For a minimalist look, stick to neutrals. For a boho vibe, go bold with jewel tones or pastels.
2. Cut Your Felt Circles
Use scissors or a circle punch to cut felt into uniform shapes. Mix sizes for a dynamic look—try 1", 2", and 3" diameter circles.
3. Plan Your Layout
Lay out the circles on the cushion cover before gluing or stitching. Try these design ideas:
• Polka Dot Grid: evenly spaced circles across the cushion
• Gradient Fade: transition from dark to light tones
• Random Scatter: playful, asymmetrical placement
4. Attach the Circles
Use fabric glue for a quick fix or sew each circle for a more durable finish. Let glue dry completely before using the cushion.
5. Style Your Space
Place your revamped cushions on sofas, beds, or reading nooks. They make great conversation starters and add a handmade touch to your decor.
๐ก Tips for Success
• Use high-quality felt to avoid fraying
• Pre-wash cushion covers to remove sizing
• Try seasonal themes (e.g., autumn tones or holiday colors)
