We love when a space offers dual functions, and a bench with cushion offers just that. The cushion of a wooden bench gives comfort while sitting and also adds a pop of visual appeal to your plain bench seating. Use patterns and trendy colors for the ultimate statement piece.

1. Measure bench to see how long you need your bench cushion to be
2. Cut plywood in the length and size of your cushion. Using plywood on the bottom of your cushion is a good foundation for your cushion so that when people sit on it, the cushion will remain sturdy due to the plywood foundation.
3. Cut the poly foam with a serrated knife to fit on top of your wood.
4. Use wood glue to adhere foam to wood.
5. Once the glue is dry and the foam is secured to the wood, cover the foam with batting and trim to fit.
6. With staple gun, secure batting to the back/bottom of the plywood. Be sure to firmly pull so that it is smooth.
7. Lay batted wood face down against fabric for covering.
8.  Pull the fabric tightly and staple to the wood.  Smooth and continue to staple until fabric is secure.
9. Fold corners and staple down for security. Folding like a gift is the easiest way because we all know how to fold gifts!
10. Trim any excess fabric and sit atop your wooden bench!
