Applique is another technique that you could try. Take a cloth in a color that is contrasting to the color of your cushion cover. Now, draw something on this cloth. You could draw any random shapes such as square or triangle. Or, if you are more creative, you could consider drawing flowers or some creative designs. Once you are done drawing, cut out these drawings and sew them on your cover. Voila! A beautiful cushion cover is ready.
Buttons can also help you design beautiful cushion covers. You must have some waste buttons lying around in your house. Collect all of them. Make sure that you have an interesting variety of buttons. Go in for buttons in different sizes and colors. The more the variety, the better it is. Now sew these buttons on your cushion cover. You could sew them in a random pattern or simply create a design using these buttons.
Threadwork is another great idea to create beautiful cushion covers. Take a thread in a color that is in contrast to the color of your cushion cover. Simply use the thread to create lines on the cushion cover. You could even draw some designs. Make sure that you use a thicker thread for a better effect.
Try these simple cushion cover ideas and you are sure to come up with the most beautiful cushions ever. Add them to your home and you will be surprised to see the difference they make to the overall look of your abode.
