How to Make Cushions for a Curved Patio Set

We are creating new cushions for an old, wrought iron patio set that has been in storage for many years and its original cushions are long gone. Before starting on the cushions, we gave the frame a spruce by treating the rust and giving it all a fresh coat of spray paint. Since we’re starting from scratch, you’ll see in the video how to pattern the cushions from the frame and how to cut the foam to size.

The biggest challenge of this seating arrangement was the curved seat back cushions. After experimenting with different styles, we settled on creating two cushions with shape for each section of our patio set. However, if you’d rather create one curved cushion per set, we made a second video on that technique as well.
