Step 2Gather the Supplies
Supplies are needed, in most cases.
Basically the sofa is built from foam and cloth on a cardboard frame.
The Supplies are, as listed:
-Urethane Foam
The amount needed is up to you, depending on your build and your measurements. I got myself 3 Giant 24" x 96" x 1" Packages from Wal-Mart, I probably won't need that many, but I can just refund an extra package.
-Cardboard
Cardboard is easy enough to get. You'll want corrugated cardboard, like the stuff moving and boxes in general are made of. Just ask for empty boxes in the back of Wal-Mart.
-Cloth
When you buy the cloth you must first think of these two things:
1. How much Cloth Will I need?
and
2. What's the pattern?
In order to have maximum camouflage sofa-ness, you'll need a cloth thats soft, and something you could picture a *normal* sofa being made of. (i.e, no felt, leather's fine if you actually want to spend that much o.o)
-(optional) A couple buttons, an even amount of similarly made buttons to complete the sofa feel.
Tools:
-Sewing machine
For covering. If you want to sew by hand, go ahead..have fun with that.
-Hot Glue Gun + Hot Glue Sticks
For quicker joining
-Razor Blade/Exacto Knife/Scissors
In Order of Preference - Razor blades have longer blades to cut through the cardboard and foam, same with Exacto Knives. Scissors however, seem to make some tilted cuts in foam, and are just plain annoying.
Packaging/Clear tape:
The brown clearish stuff from packages or the clear stuff that I dont know the uses of.
