The beauty of a mudcloth design is that it doesn’t need to be perfect. Using the white paint pen, freehand a design in rows. The yardstick is helpful in making lines down the length of the canvas. Repeat the pattern of rows across the whole fabric. Continue on the back, if desired. Let HGTV guide you on the how-tos and guidelines in creating your very own DIY Mudcloth Hammock Chair.

8. Easy Outdoor Cushion Covers

The chairs are very lovely with their new cushions! I think it is so great if we can repurpose and reuse, it saves money and keeps things from the landfill. And this is by far the best explained guide for this type of project I’ve found. This tutorial is so easy to follow, and those corners will make more sense when you are actually making the covers.

9. Easy French Mattress Covers

Need some new outdoor cushion covers but can’t find what you want for the price? DIY cushion covers are awesome because they cost a fraction of what it would to buy them, you get higher quality fabric, and can choose the colors and patterns of your choice. I never see patterns I absolutely love in stores, anyway, so I knew this was the next DIY project for me.
