Cooler temps means Fall is on the way and it is time to change up some decor. I love to change up some of my accessories as the seasons change and the item that I feel makes some of the biggest impact are decorative pillows. So today I am so excited to show you how to make your own DIY FALL Decorative Pillows. I went to my local JOANN store…found fabric, trim and the pillow forms and in a few hours I had a whole new set of cute pillows to dress up my sofa!
You’re going to need the following to complete this project:
Fabric
Variety of Trim – Pom Trim
Cotton Duck Canvas Fabric – I like to use this utility fabric to make & back pillows
Decorative Fabric – pick fabrics that match your home
Yarn – I picked colors that would match my decor but felt more “Fall”
Ready to get started??? I use a simple envelope closure style pillow cover especially for the beginner sewer. Here are the basic steps to sewing an envelope pillow. Since I was using 18″ square pillows…the front piece was 19″ square, back 1 & back 2 were each 19″ x 12. I found that a rotary cutter is the best for cutting fabric.
Once you have your pillows sewn…it’s time to dress them up!! I made a bunch of yarn poms with my Pom Pom Maker to attach to the front of a pillow with hot glue.
The next pillow I added rows of alternating trim and attached it with hot glue also.
The other two pillows didn’t have trim but I did pick out fabrics that had more interest and texture. Here is what the looked like finished…I am in LOVE!!!! I love all of the texture and warm, rich colors! I think the pom pom pillow is my favorite.
Ready to see how these look in my space?
I feel like adding these pillows was just what the living space in our bedroom needed. I love the warm pop of colors against the neutral background and the visual texture.
