No Sew DIY Outdoor Cushions

in Crafts & DIY, Home Decor, Home Decor & Landscaping, Outdoors

If you’re planning to have long smores making sessions and fireside chats on summer nights or enjoy a popsicle on a warm day, consider creating No Sew DIY Outdoor Cushions using this tutorial! See how easy it is to make these comfy portable seats using a sturdy outdoor fabric, foam and fabric tape.

If you’ve been here a while you might remember our backyard looking a little sparse when we first moved in:

The backyard was basically a blank slate!

Over the last 5 years we’ve been updated this space with DIY creations, hands on installation and the help of outside companies to add a paver patio, fire pit, vegetable garden, shed and just last spring, a covered pavilion! When we’re not on the softball field, our family loves to spend time out outside in this space.

The only issue is, the seats around the firepit can feel a little comfortable after a prolonged smores session. Luckily, I’m happy to announce another partnership with Fairfield World which supplied some of their products so I could create custom seats for our family! For this project I got to try their OlyFun material as my base material for the cushion and Nu Foam for the inserts.

First measure and mark the area you want to create the cushion.

Use a serrated knife (like a bread knife) to saw back and forth along the line and create the cut.

Oly-Fun’s claim to fame includes the ability to sew it, glue it, staple it, pin it, tie it, paint it, embellish it, stamp it, or stencil it. They also say you can scissor, rotary, or die cut it and for this project I gave it the scissor test! I’ll tell ya, it cut perfectly!

I unrolled this large bolt and placed my cut Nu Foam cushion on top. Cut to size to allow for a slight overlap on all four sides. Note: I actually kept the double layer of OlyFun for this project which allowed for a deep covering for the cushion. This required some extra tape work, which was no problem at all, as it was still no sew!

Apply fabric adhesive along the edge of the OlyFun, peel the adhesive covering, and attach to the underside of the foam.

Carefully fold the corners up and also attach those to the underside. Do your best to make them look symmetric. Think like you’re wrapping a present!

Once you adhered all four edges up, cut an additional piece of OlyFun to cover the bottom of your cushion and hide any unsightly corner work, like me.

Honestly I wasn’t worried about how it looked on the bottom since I knew it would be covered with this extra fabric and also…. under my butt! lol

Now these fluffy outdoor cushions are ready to pull out at a moment’s notice for a family hang outside.

And when not in use, they can easily be packed in the patio box we keep all our other chair cushions in.

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
