MY LATEST PROJECT

I bought some chairs for my front porch a few years back.  Over time, the cushions have totally faded.  I thought about trying to re-cover them but after pricing the material decided I could buy new cushions for that.  I thought about trying to dye them, but there was no opening to get the cushions out without cutting them apart.   So, I found this in my garage:

Took these:

And did this:

And look at them now:

I know this is not the conventional way of doing things, but I'm not known for doing things the conventional way.  I saw on someone's blog where they painted their sofa, and I did think that was a little weird.  Now, I would never paint my sofa, because it would be pretty stiff and crackly when you sat on it.  But, we never sit in these chairs; we always sit on the deck out back.  So, yes, they are a little stiff, but they look good from the road!  And, better yet, it didn't cost me a thing!!
