how can i make decorative pillows?

Posted by Sally on Jan-31-2009

I want them in Tiffany blue and Brown for the living room, but everywere I go they are sooooo expensive! I rather make them myself. BUT I need help making them!
sorry, Tiffany blue is like Sky blue

pillows are easy to make. If you want a square pillow decide what size you want and add a quarter inch seam allowance. sew them wrong side out on three sides. On the fourth side sew from each corner about one-third of the way leaving an opening in the middle that your hand can fit. Turn it right side out and taking pillow fill bought from your sewing dept. such as wal-marts. Use a handful of stuffing loosing it up and stick into the corners and continue till the fullness you find comfortable. Then sew shut the opening with needle and thread of matching color of the fabric. Poof! there's your pillow!!!

    if you find plain pillows in the blue or the brown- find decorayive ribbon and glue gun it on- or use fabric glue- make one with one strand of ribbon just going down the side and wone with a bunch criss crossed- hope that helps!

    Buy some cheap plain pillows. Then buy a few meters of the fabric you, then sew them together and close them either with buttons or velcro. Pillows are super easy to make on your own. Then to fancy them up add some ribbon using a glue gun, or fabric tape. Use your imagination and have fun with it.
