To make templates for your miniature upholstery, cut lightweight but firm cardboard (similar to the weight of cereal box cardboard) into cushion shapes as shown in the photo. The templates should be slightly smaller than the upholstered cushions will be. Fit the templates carefully in place once you have cut them out to make sure they are the correct size and shape.
