Description :
Have some old cushions around the house and revamp them ? Here is a cool new procedure to give them a new look with Fevicryl Fabric Glue and Fevicryl Fabric Colours.


STEP 1 : Drawing the design
• We are going to paint the cushion cover with the face of the lady and add a beaded patch for her head gear. • Take an A3 white paper; draw the outline of the face of the lady in the size of the cushion cover on it. • Take the beige cushion cover and trace the same design on it with yellow carbon paper.
STEP 2 : Paint the face
• Paint the face and hair of the lady in shading effect using Fabric Colours Burnt Sienna 201, Black 202, Crimson 204, White 227 and Flesh Tint 230. • Leave it to dry.
STEP 3 : Paint the patterns on scarf
• Paint the scarf with geometrical pattern design using Fabric Colours Black 202 and White 227. • Let it dry.
STEP 4 : Making the base of patch
• Take the piece of the canvas sheet, mark and cut the circle approximately 3” diameter.
STEP 5 : Stick embellishments with Fabric Glue
• Enhance the circle to make the patch with Red, Orange, Sky Blue, Antique Gold Ornamental Glass Beads, Diamond Shape Ornamental Mirrors, White Ornamental Stone and Kora- Shaadi Zardosi threads by sticking it using Fabric Glue. • Let it dry.
STEP 6 : Paint the design
• Paint the rest of the scarf of the lady with a similar geometrical pattern with Fabric Colours Black 202 and White 227. • Let it dry. • Draw and paint the ornamental motif beside her to make the balance in to the design using similar colour combination of black and white using Fabric Colours Black 202 and White 227. Let it dry. • Stick the circular patch aesthetically near her head as well as enhance the ornamental motif beside her by sticking few colourful glass beads using Fabric Glue. • Leave it to dry completely.
STEP 7 : Stitch the cushion
• Your final cushion cover will look like this.
