Making The DIY Pillow Cover:
Material and Tools:
- Fabric in Bright colors
- Inches tape
- Scissor
- Stuffing
1. Cutting Two Pieces of Fabric:
To begin, cut two rectangular pieces of fabric, each measuring 22 inches wide and 16 inches in length. These pieces will eventually form the front and back of your pillow cover.
2. Cutting a 3-Inch Square:
To prepare your fabric for the fringes, you’ll need to remove a small square from each corner of your fabric pieces. Using a ruler or any appropriate measuring tool, mark out a 3-inch by 3-inch square on each corner of your fabric. Once marked, use scissors to cut out these squares on each piece carefully.
3. Continuing with the Rest of the Pieces
4. Cutting the Stripes
On all four sides of each fabric piece, cut fringe-like stripes that are a quarter of an inch wide and three inches long. Do ensure that these fringes reach the edge of the corner squares that you previously cut out.
5. Securing the Pillow with Knots
Select two corresponding strips, one from each piece of fabric, and tie them together into a knot. Although a simple knot would be enough, you may opt for a double knot for better security.
6. Knotting all Along the Fabric
Continue this process of knotting corresponding strips all along the three sides of the fabric, ensuring the knots are tight and even.
7. Leaving Space for Stuffing
While securing the pillow, you need to leave the space for stuffing. The opening size can be adjusted based on how much filling you plan to insert.
8. Stuffing the Pillow
Through the opening, stuff your pillow to your desired level of fluffiness. You can use a variety of fillings like polyester fiberfill, buckwheat hulls, or even repurposed fabric scraps.
9. Double Knotting on the Corners
After the pillow is stuffed, knot the remaining open edge. To solidify and give neat edges to the pillow, use a double knot on the corners. This will enhance the durability of your pillow cover.
10. Final Look
You have now created a handmade, no-sew pillow cover that is both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. Depending on the fabric you’ve chosen, it can blend perfectly with your décor or stand out as an eye-catching statement piece.
