My Favorite DIY Pillows
Today I am sharing some of my DIY pillow projects. I was a bit shocked to see that I have made so many pillows but I think there just might be one here that all of you may like.
Pillows are such an easy and inexpensive way to update a room, add a splash of color, or celebrate a season. I rounded up some of my favorite DIY pillow projects for you. Which one(s) will you make?
Making pillow covers is easy and I thought it might be fun to share all of the DIY pillows I have made on my blog.
There were so many DIY pillows that I have made, I am not sure which one is my favorite. I think it’s this Free Motion Embroidery pillow with pink and orange flowers.
But seriously, I love them all.
Some of these DIY pillows are more difficult than others. Some don’t require any sewing. I just hope these ideas will inspire you to try a pillow craft project at home.
I love making pillows and it wasn't until recently that I realized how many DIY's I have shared on my blog. I have more pillow ideas to post soon but I thought it might be fun to share all of my DIY pillow blog posts. I discovered Free Motion Embroidery a few months ago. It's a very fun way to sew because you get to move the fabric around to determine where you want the stitches to go. Originally I tried free motion embroidery on cut fabric. But I came up with this painted version and I love it! I am always looking for drop cloth projects and this flower pillow was one of my favorites. All I did was tear a lot of strips of fabric and then wrap the fabric to make the rosettes. It's a very simple DIY and I fully intend to make more of these. I love this pink-painted pillow. I used some vintage paint rollers for this design. But you can use stencils or even make your own roller to get a similar effect. I love to sew and making my favorite pillows is something I love to do. For this DIY, I used vintage linens. You . can also use cloth napkins or towels to make these pillows. This felt flower pillow is one of my favorite DIY pillow projects. I love the colors and it was so easy to make. I cut the felt with my Cricut Maker machine, but you could easily cut your own with scissors. I made these pillows with lots of fabric remnants and fringe. You can probably guess that I matched them to the painting. It's such an easy way to brighten up a room and takes very little sewing. This hand-sewn pillow was an easy DIY that was inspired by a major retailer. I used an IKEA pillow cover and hand-stitched all of the hearts. So you don't even need a sewing machine. This pillow was also inspired by a major retailer but cost about 500% less to make. I bought a premade pillow cover and added all sorts of vintage ornaments. There are so many other shapes you could make! This was a gift I made for all of our family members one year for Christmas. The gift came in a bag and had one pillow and different covers to use throughout the year. This was such a fun gift idea. I loved the pink and orange free motion embroidery pillow so much that I had to make another one! This pillow was fun to have around the house for Easter. This pillow sure looks great for the effort it took. All I did was glue pom poms on an IKEA pillow cover with a glue gun. Yes, that's all.My Favorite DIY Pillows

I love making pillow covers to change out throughout the year. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us to enjoy. My craft “To Do” list grows each time I read your post !! I LOVE the free motion quilting pillows and I can’t wait to get the attachment for my machine and try making a pillow cover like those……my other favorites would be the flower pillow using the chenille fabric and the snowflake ….. when I saw the fringe pillow I checked my stash to see what scraps I had in it…… (I don’t throw away very much)…..lol…..so that is a future project too. I love reading your blog and I love all the DIY’s you share with us. You are a very talented and creative person.
