One of the easiest ways to update your home for the Christmas season is with festive cushions. Not only are they affordable, but creating your own personalised cushions means you can match them to your specific colour scheme, giving your home a fresh, seasonal touch.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to sew your very own Christmas cushion. Whether it’s for your living room, guest room, or dining chairs, this simple craft is a great way to add charm to any space.
What You’ll Need:
- Crochet, woven, plaited, or knitted material (approx. 45 cm long)
- Wooden or decorative beads (7 beads)
- Strong needle and thread
- String (for hanging)
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Shape the Material
Start by molding your material into a rough Christmas tree shape. The fabric should be pliable enough to bend into a triangular shape.
Step 2: Add Beads
Thread your needle, tie a large knot at the end, and begin threading a bead onto the needle. Then thread the fabric through the bead to secure it at the base of your tree shape. Repeat this process, alternating beads and fabric, until you’ve created a tree shape.
Step 3: Finish the Tree
Once all the beads are added, pull the string through and tie a loop at the top of the tree for hanging.
Step 4: Add a Bow (Optional)
Add a festive bow at the top for a cute finishing touch!
