How to Make a Cover For a Couch Out of Bed Sheets

Couch covers can protect cushions from stains, pet hair and other unwanted buildup. Even though there are various pre-made couch covers available for purchase in home stores and online, you can create one yourself for less money by using bed sheets. Upholstery pins make it possible for anyone to complete this no-sew project, and they are simple to use. Upholstery pins are found in some craft stores, home stores and online.

  Fold the extra fabric on the bottom of the cushions neatly and pin down using a twist-in upholstery pin every 5 inches.
