Nice cushion that suits the color of your bedroom
Needs to be more colorful
Make it more colorful by putting more colored fabric on it and add sequins, or iron on pictures onto it.
It is a cushion that i can hold
It isn't big enough
Make it bigger by adding extra parts to it, or sketch the outline on the fabric bigger.
It is decorative and it is comfortable to hug and lie on
It is not puffy enough
Stick some more stuffing in it.
The fabric is soft and not too thin.
If you are trying to iron a picture on it, you might burn the fabric, and if the fabric isn't soft enough, it would be uncomfortable to lie on.
Buy a fabric that is thicker, and when you iron something on it, it won't burn the fabric, or don't iron on a picture and just sew some sequins on the fabric to make a picture. Make sure the fabric you buy is soft.
Best Concept I chose- "It is decorative and it is comfortable to hug and lie on".
I chose this concept out of the other three because if your cushion isn't decorative, then if you were to sell it, then people won't buy it from you and you wouldn't gain any money, because the cushion doesn't look good.
The cushion has to be comfortable to hug and lie on because if it isn't comfortable, then you won;t be able to use the cushion for anything, because cushions are for people to hug, and rest their head on and maybe even sleep on it, and you can't sleep on a cushion that isn't comfortable.
