Hi guys! I wanted to share a super easy DIY project that I did on our Ikea Karlstad Sectional this past weekend. And by easy, I mean it took me about 20 minutes to complete the project, but it made a pretty big impact to our sofa.
I’ve always dreamed about owning a tufted sofa, but did not want to spend $1000′s of dollars!!! Well, I didn’t have too, and I promise you after you’ve watched my little video, you’ll be heading to the stores to gather all supplies needed for your own sofa/couch transformation!
But, before I get started, here are few shots of our sectional before the transformation…
…I know, I know, we need a coffee table. I have been searching for a card catalog coffee table all over the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but haven’t found one yet.
Ok, let’s move on.
HERE ARE THE ITEMS YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR OWN SOFA/CUSHIONS A MAKEOVER:
- 84 Fabric Covered Buttons size 7/8″ inch (OEH Shop we have the Ikea Isunda Gray and Sivik dark Gray buttons)
- Nylon Button Tufting Twine
- 10 inch Tufting needles
- Scissor
STEP 1.
Measure your cushion, then add some pins where you’ll be placing the buttons. Measure again, and again. I placed my outside buttons 6 inches away from the top and the sides piping, and the following buttons were 6-8 inches apart, depending on the size of the pillow.
STEP 2.
Get everything ready, cut 84-twine strands approx. each 24 inches long.
STEP 3.
Put on your favorite music, and lets transform a sofa… (now, you may watch the video)
Enjoy, and please share your finished project on IG (tag @oheverythinghandmade) or on Facebook.
