Craft Tip: Bed Pillow into TWO Throw Pillows

 

Hello UCreate Friends!

I am Desirée from The 36th Avenue and I am so excited to be back visiting one of my top favorite blogs!

Thank you Kari for having me!

 

I am sharing today the tutorial of how to turn a regular pillow into two throw pillows.

This is a perfect little project to recycle old pillows or to save good money specially on down throw pillows,

since you can pay anywhere between $25 and $50 for just one insert.

 

MATERIALS

Basically all you'll need is a king size pillow, scissors, pins and a sewing machine.

TIP: You can purchase super affordable pillows at your local HomeGoods Stores or TJMax.

You can buy two king size pillows and make four down pillows for about $20... That is a good deal!

 

TUTORIAL

1

First using scissors cut your pillow right in half.

Nothing fancy!

2

Push the filling of your pillow in with your hands as much as you can.

 

3

Keep the filling inside of the case and out of the way pining the fabric together.

You want to have at least a 2.5" piece of empty fabric to work with for the next step.

After the pinning it should look like this...

4

Close to the edge of the fabric, seal the pillow together.

More space you leave to work with... easier the sewing will be.

5

Remove your pins and distribute the filling evenly again with your hands.

Make it puffy!

You are done!

I do this all the time!

It saves me a lot of money and I can get high quality pillow inserts for a fraction of the cost.

After I was done with the inserts I could not resist to make some cute pillow cases for them.

I hope you take a minute to visit with me on my blog and take a look!

Thank you again Kari for having me...

I love hanging out here!

Have a great day everybody!

Desirée.
