Here is what his booster seat looked like before----and this is after the cushion has been washed many times. It still looks gross.
After taking the cushion off the base I laid it out flat upside down. The material I used was from Walmart and its called creative cuts fat quarter single. It sounds like something that you would order from a drive thru but its basically a 18x22 precut piece of fabric. You can find the fat quarter singles pretty much anywhere that has a craft dept or fabric dept. It will run you anywhere from $1-3. This piece was $1.27.
After turning over the cushion I then started to wrap the fabric around it making cuts here and there in corners to get a tighter fit. All I did was hot glue it as I went around. It was like wrapping a box almost.
Be sure in the corners that you leave the elastic strings out. They are what you will attach back to the base to keep the cushion in place.
Here is what the underside of the cushion looks like wrapped in the new fabric.
I didnt do anything with the holes on the side so that his drink cups could still be usable. I just placed my fabric on top of the drink holes and continued around. I felt like if I had wrapped fabric around the drink cup holder hole that it would of been hard for Preston to pull the holder in and out because it would of been too tight.
Drink cup still slides in and out as it always did and you cant even see the bottom where I didnt wrap any fabric.
Here is the finished product. I can still clean it as usual by either removing the cushion and cleaning or spot cleaning it.
Not bad for $1.27
