An easy DIY pillow cover to decorate your house for Easter! Oh, so simple!

Thread

Measure the pillow and cut the three pieces of fabric. Refer to link for more explicit instructions.

Simple DIY Envelope Pillow instructions from momtastic.

Iron the fabric.

Measure the hem distance vertically and horizontally (my pillow was 17" square) and iron the hem over so you can create your workspace for the decoration.

Download the two pdf files below and print them out. Note that the words need to be printed as a mirror image! This is usually an option under print options (it either says print mirror image or flip horizontally).

Cut out the image and words leaving about 1/8th of an inch all the way around them. Then iron them on according to the directions.

NOTE: it takes longer than you think and always be sure to really heat up any corners extra well and check them first. If they are not peeling easily, then push it back down and heat again!

Sew a seam on the two envelope pieces (the part that creates the envelope). Arrange all the pieces together inside out, pin together, and sew around the entire outside of the pillow using the ironed hems as a guide. You will actually be sewing along the ironed line.
