Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make a Stadium Seat Cushion

Materials Needed:

Foam padding
Fabric of your choice
Scissors
Measuring tape
Sewing machine or needle and thread

1. Measure the dimensions of your seat and cut the foam padding accordingly. You can use any type of foam padding, but make sure it’s thick enough to provide adequate cushioning.

2. Cut the fabric for the cushion cover. You can use any fabric of your choice, but it should be durable and easy to clean. Make sure to leave a few extra inches on each side to account for the thickness of the foam padding.

3. Sew together the fabric to make a cover for the foam padding. You can use a sewing machine for this step, or sew it by hand if you don’t have a sewing machine.

4. Insert the foam padding into the fabric cover and sew the opening closed. Make sure the foam is centered in the cover and fits snugly.
