How can I turn a twin bed temporarily into a chaise? |
I don't have a sewing machine and am on a budget. Any tips on how I can turn a twin bed into a chaise temporarily? This will be as seating for a holiday party. Any tips on where to get fabric, how to achieve the upholstered button on cushion effect? Thanks much in advance! You also can purchase pillow roll blanks at the fabric stores in a variety of sizes to use as back cushions. Two of the round long one work on the back of a twin to turn it into a couch. No sewing needed, just wrap the rolls in king sized pillow cases or any fabric you have around tie the ends that face out the sides with ribbon or a tassel and you have custom upholstered cushions. I've also used the large rectangular table cloths to Upholster the top mattress and then just tuck fabric remnants between the top mattress and the box springs to create a skirt around the base. If you have a queen size comforter or any sort of throw and you can push the bed against the wall it's easy to do this. Simply put pillows and cushions along the wall to pad the back and you have something very comfortable. |
