Artist Pillows

Make artist inspired pillows and have art on your sofa instead of your walls!

Step 1: Watch the Video Tutorial Here!

Step 2: You'll Need

Heavy white cotton fabric

Cotton broadcloth in different colors

E-6000 Stitchless Iron On Glue

Pillow stuffing

Iron

Sewing machine

Scissors

Matisse inspiration

Step 3: Cut and Prep Your Shapes

Lightly draw out the shapes on the colorful broadcloth fabric and then cut out

Figure out the placement on your pillow fabric

*I made my pillows 20" x 20"

Carefully squeeze the E-6000 Stitchless glue around the edges of your cutouts

Step 4: Iron and Stitch

Iron the cutouts in place until the glue disappears

Pin the back of the pillow over the ironed-on cutouts

Using 1/2" seam allowance, stitch around the pillow and leave an 8" opening so that you can turn it right side out

Clip the corners at an angle

*Clipping the corners leaves less bulk in the corners when you turn it right side out

Step 5: Stuff and Tassel

Stuff the pillow and stitch closed

If you want to, create yarn tassels for the corners in different colors and stitch them on.

oh my gosh, too cute! how long does it take to make a set of these?

[Mark Montano]

Hm.....I'd say from top to bottom (without a beer break) you could do it in 90 minutes. That includes the tassels.
