Materials

• White cotton fabric
• Cotton colored fabric for the back (you can use white)
• Almoahdón (this is about 45 cm)
• Black acrylic paint
• Brush
• Paper to print the template
• STAINLIGHT
• Sewing machine

Procedure

• Print the four sheets of the template and paste them to obtain the complete drawing.
• Cut a square of 48 cm side fabric so that it is 45 or 46 cm when sewn.
• Place the white fabric on top of the template and mark the design with a marker or pencil.

• Once all the design is on the canvas, it’s time to start painting. You can leave the paper underneath so as not to stain the table.
• Add a small amount of water to the paint so that it runs well and does not leave marks when it dries. Draw a few strokes on another cloth to test the consistency of the paint. This must be fluid but not so watery, as it would spread through the fabric forming stains.
• Trace the contours of the cactus and allow to dry well.

• To make the cover, cut two pieces of coloured fabric for the back 48 cm x 30 cm. Make a 2 cm hem on one of the 48 cm sides of each rectangle.
• Overlap the rectangles with the seam up so that the right side of the halves faces the painted fabric. Place pins to hold.

• Sew around the entire square 1 and 1/2 cm away from the edge. Cut the four corners as shown in the image so that they are neater when you turn it.

• Turn and iron right. Place the cushion inside and you can place it where you like!
