17 Simple Sofa Facelifts

If any of you read my blog last week you would know that I posted a quick and easy way to fix your sofa slipcover with Velcro. After posting the tutorial on Hometalk, a really fun website for DIYers to share their transformations, the people of Hometalk approached me to curate a board of similar posts. I was so flattered, as soon as I could I got right to work. 

There are so many great home improvement/diyer bloggers who post on Hometalk, it was not hard to come up with a really useful board of sofa facelifts. Alright, lets get to it.

1/2 Hour Pillow Cover

For the longest time I have had a piece of extra upholstery fabric from when we created our headboard, over a year ago. (See that here: Pinterest Home Improvement: Headboards) I finally decided that I would cover 2 of the 4 of my old sofa pillows, ones that came with the sofa.

This project took me 1/2 hour to make and $0 dollars, since I used fabric that I already had from my headboard project.

I usually get my fabric from Zimman's in Lynn, MA, but, Amazon has some fun upholstery fabric for sale.
