I have outdoor patio furniture cushions, all faded by the sun, they are in pretty good shape, but they were expensive and don't want to replace them right now, does any one have any experience with this? If So do you have any suggestions for what I can do to reuse these?

@Gina you could try to make cushion covers or you could paint them - lots of posts on this site for painting fabric, just search it out in the search bar at the top.

Gail, I found someone who had used paint for her outdoor cushions, I had no idea they made fabric spray paint, i found it on Amazon.com. So Excited that I don't have to spend money buying new cushions now. thanks Gail

Recover over top of the cushion with shower curtains. You can pick up curtains reasonably priced and there is such a variety of colors and patterns. Good luck

@Gail I most certainly will do that. I ordered the paint today, hoping to receive this weekend. Will get started on Monday when hubby is at work. :)

I spent a fortune on outdoor pillows, which faded in our southern exposure in one summer season. I'm so excited to investigate painting them!
