Sassy Seat - Transform a shower curtain into cushions

  1. Select a fabric shower curtain—we chose black-and-white toile (#224858). Iron the curtain, and then place it with the pattern side down on a flat work surface.
  2. Remove the seat from a wooden chair (this works best with an already-padded seat). Place the seat with the top side down on the curtain.
  3. Trim the curtain, allowing about 3 to 6 inches beyond the edges of the seat.
  4. Use a staple gun to secure the curtain’s edges to the seat’s underside, working around the seat. Wrap the curtain tightly, and tuck the excess smoothly at the corners.
  5. Paint the chair in a shade that coordinates with the curtain, before reattaching the seat. We used red spray paint (#39351).
  6. Cover additional seats (one 70- x 72-inch curtain will cover approximately six average seats).
