If you can’t find outdoor pillows in the color or pattern you like, simply modify your favorite indoor pillows.  Make them waterproof, fade resistant plus super durable in just one step.

I had some indoor seat cushions I wanted to use outdoors on our wicker chairs – but was afraid they’d end up soaking wet from the rain.

Luckily I ran across this water seal product that makes fabric waterproof, stain resistant, fade resistant and durable!

But don’t worry – the fabric still remains soft to the touch! No crunchy, stiff fabrics at my house – no way! We’re all about comfiness here!

How to Waterproof and Stain Resistant Fabric

 I used this amazing waterproof spray for fabrics and gave both sides of my cushions two coats. It doesn’t leave any odor!

You can use it on pillows, tablecloths and patio umbrellas too!

I love this stuff – it doesn’t make the fabric stiff or crunchy so it’s still super soft to sit on! It’s super quick and easy to use!

This is such an amazing way to use beautiful indoor pillows and textiles outside and make them super durable! I love that it’s fade proof so it protects fabrics from sun and UVA/UVB damage.

Now our outdoor seat cushions on our front porch will remain nice and dry!

Also – if you’re a sewer you can sew up your own pillow covers from fabric, spray them with the waterproof spray and then use them outside.

What an ideal way to make indoor upholstered dining chairs and ottomans stain resistant too!

    I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE WATERPROOF SPRAY. DOES IT LEAVE AN ODOR ON THE FABRIC. I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO SMELLS AND CAN’T USE VINYL FABRIC ON MY KITCHEN BANQUETTE CUSHIONS BECAUSE OF THE ODOR. IF THAT ISN’T AN ISSUE, THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT PROJECT. THANKS FOR SHARING.

    This is just what I need. I have an odd length deck glider and can never get the right length for a cushion for it. This will be perfect. I can get a color I like and then waterproof it. Great idea! Dropping over from Linky Party Palooza.
