Step 2

Use a marker to draw an arrow shape around the bottom of the cushion.
The arrow’s point should fall toward the center of the cushion.
The points on the sides of the arrow should extend well beyond the edge of the cushion. They should not be aligned with the corners of the cushion.
This is done to ensure that there will be enough fabric to sufficiently cover the cushion.
The bottom of the arrow should line up with the sides and bottom of the cushion.
Repeat this step to draw a wider arrow for the side of the cushion.

Step 4

Attach the tip of the arrow to the inside of the cushion and fold the rest of the arrow over the outside.
Using glue or sewing the arrow to the pad will result in a permanent fix, but if you make a mistake you may not be able to undo it.
Repeat this step to attach each arrow to the appropriate side of each cushion

thanks for the idea! but I have to say this was a lot harder & less successful than promised, I’ve been at it for 1 hour and have only “reupholstered” 1 earphone… and it’s very partial (has holes). I rate my fixing result at 3/10, and I followed the instructions. :(
