Head to yourhomestyle.uk to enlarge and print the face template on plain paper. Carefully cut out the different elements of the face. Next, position the template pieces on the cushion cover, using the picture above as a guide, and draw around each part with a pencil. Paint the abstract face design using a fine paintbrush and black fabric paint, and leave to completely dry.

Use the template to cut out a pair of lips in pink iron-on foil. Set the iron to a cool setting with the steam off and place the lips on the cushion cover. Lay a tea towel on top and gently iron over for a few minutes until the foil has bonded to the fabric. Remove the tea towel and allow to cool before peeling off the top carrier layer of the foil. Pop the cover onto a cushion inner to finish.
