Have you noticed how lovely the new toss pillows in stores are these days? Furniture showrooms and bedding stores have beautiful displays featuring creatively designed accent pillows. And have you looked at the price? If you’re like me, there’s a little sticker shock going on. So you walk away and say “not for me” – and I say “not so fast” – I have a solution!
Look at these beauties that took less than an hour to make. The cost: around $3.00 each! Here’s how to toss some affordable pillows into your life:
1. cut out two equal squares or rectangles of fabric, place wrong sides together
2. sew around edge, leaving a 5-inch opening
3. turn right side out, stuff with polyfill
4. slip-stitch 5-inch opening
5. attach trim w/fabric glue, sew on a jeweled button, or create a look in whatever way you wish – have fun!Decoratively yours,
