How to Repair Cigarette Burns on a Sofa
- 1). Cut the cigarette burns from the sofa fabric with small scissors. Remove only the burned areas of the fabric and cut any loose threads.
- 2). Measure the holes in the sofa. Cut replacement patches from material on the underside or on the back near the bottom of the sofa. Cut the replacement pieces one-quarter inch to one-half inch larger than the holes.
- 3). Pour fabric glue onto a toothpick, and apply the glue into the hole in the sofa. Pick up the patch with tweezers and apply a tiny amount of the glue around the edges of the patch.
- 4). Place the patch into the hole, positioning it with the tweezers to match the pile or pattern in the sofa.
- 5). Tear off a piece of plastic wrap and place over the patch. Put a heavy book or other object over the plastic wrap and leave for two hours, allowing the patch time to bond.
