DIY HEART PILLOW COVER

Pillow covers are a simple way to change up your interior decorations for the holidays or seasons without going to a lot of trouble!  They also take up hardly any space to store and are oh, so simple to make!

Supplies:

• Cotton Canvas (4x 12 drop cloth at Harbor Freight is $8.99 and get 20% off!)
• 1 Sheet Red (or any color you choose) Felt
• 1 sheet heavy card stock paper 8.5" x 11"
• Printer
• scissors
• Aleene's OK To Wash it Fabric Glue (affiliate link)
• Sewing Machine
• Thread

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

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 and print out the pdf. heart template using the button below. It is best if it is printed on card stock paper.

Cut out the hearts and arrange them on the felt in such a way that you only use what you need (waste not want not!).

Trace the hearts using a simple ball point pen.

Cut out the hearts and arrange them on the front of the pillow piece the way you want them being sure to stay within the ironed hems.

Put glue on the backs of the hearts (the opposite side that you traced on) and glue the heart in its place.

Don't worry if the glue shows through the heart. It will dry clear and not be visible.

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.

After you sew around the entire edge of the pillow cover, cut off the inside corners at an angle.

Turn the cover inside out and put a pillow in!

Simple :-)
