Faux Fur

If you don’t want to bother with threading a needle, you can still make a no-sew slipcover with some basic supplies like scissors, adhesive tape, fabric glue and elastic bands.

Create a Quilted Look

If you’re feeling crafty and would like something more intricate than just plain colors, try making quilted armchair covers using different shades of fabrics!

Cut out several small squares (at least 4 inches wide) from any thick material like denim or wool; then backstitch these squares until they form comfortable quilting patterns that will add texture as well as color!

Finally, sew all the edges securely in place making sure they fit your armchair.

Try Leather - If you’d rather go for something luxe but still durable enough for everyday use, why not try leather? It's very easy to work with even if you don't have much experience in sewing. Simply cut out pieces according to the size needed plus make extra allowance for hems. Backstitch the strips; turn the hems inward and secure them in place with pins. Sew all the edges securely to fit your armchair.

Creative With Denim

Denim is always fashionable and versatile enough that anyone can have fun creating unique designs with it. Simply measure the length and the width of the desired area plus make an extra allowance for hems; backstitch strips; turn hems inward and secure in place with pins; sew all the edges securely in place so they won't unravel easily. Make sure that they will fit snuggly on your armchair.

Add Some Color With Paint
For those who prefer bolder designs without sacrificing comfort too much, there's always painting on fabric as an option. Take any existing material (preferably lighter weight ones) such as cotton muslin and paint away adding colorful patterns directly onto the surface using acrylic paints. These paints are washable even after they dry completely. Stitch up the fabric so that it fits the armchair.

Use Burlap
Burlap is great if you're looking for something rustic yet elegant. Cut out strips according to the size needed plus make extra allowance for the hems. Backstitch the strips; turn the hems inward and secure it in place with pins; then sew all the edges securely in place so they won't unravel.
