How to tuft/button your cushions

howtobuttonyourcushions

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:

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.
