This DIY sofa can be made for less than $100 and requires no sewing. The only power tools used were a cordless drill, a circular saw, and an orbital sander. The frame is made out of 2x10s and 2x4s from Home Depot. The foam come custom cut to the right size from Foambymail.com The DIY sofa cushions are made by wrapping a blanket around the foam with bungee cords to hold it in place. This project be made larger or smaller and is a great option for college students since it is really easy to take off the cover and wash it. This project can be adapted for outdoor use by selecting a closed cell foam cushion that will not absorb water and sealing the wood with water sealant or an exterior grade paint.
