1. MaterialsCushion cover (this is a cheap one from a discount store in faux black chamois); Seta color (brand) fabric paint. 45 ml in Light Copper (#47), Fabric glue, Paint brush, Jute webbing (this is from Bunning's hardware) 50 mm wide, Double-sided tape (not shown), Needle and thread (not shown).
2. Measure webbing strips
Measure strips of webbing about 6-7cm longer than width of cushion. This is standard cushion width of 42 cm (16.5 inches)
Allow about 7 strips for horizontal, 7 strips for vertical.
3. Paint webbing strips
Paint each strip. Paint will not be opaque, but will have jute texture and colour showing through. Allow to dry.
4. Weave webbing strips
Arrange 7 strips in vertical rows. Take1 strip and weave horizontally, allowing about 6-7cm of 'hem'.
Continue weaving, by taking next strip and weaving in opposite pattern (i.e. weave OVER vertical strip where the other is UNDER). This creates woven pattern.
5. Attach tape to perimeter
Run strips of double-sided tape around perimeter of woven panel.
6. Fold over and adhere webbing
Fold over edges of webbing and iron in place. Use a thin cotton over the top of painted webbing strips to protect iron from paint. Using scissors, trim the edges of the webbing to neaten up.
7. Add a strip of double-sided tape.
Run the double-sided tape to the perimeter of the woven panel. This is on the outside of the folded over hem.
8. Adhere to cushion cover
Place the cushion cover on top of the woven webbing panel to fit neatly. Remove paper backing from tape and adhere in position. Use fabric glue along the perimeter for re-inforcement.
9. Sew corners in place
Using a needle and neutral coloured thread, it might be necessary to sew a few stitches on the inside corners of the cushion cover onto the woven panel. Add more halfway down each side if that's required (because the panel is not adhering to the cushion cover).
