Do you know how to sew? I DO but I am without a sewing machine! I know… sad story.

I even took a couple costuming classes in college where I made my own decorative accent pillow room decoration. I wish I still could, but until I get a sewing machine, this is a great solution to recover some ugly old pillows. Breathe some new life into something old.

The good news for this project is you do not need a sewing machine or any knowledge of sewing to complete it!

How to make a DIY No Sew Accent Pillow

Measure your existing pillow. Mine was 16”x16” So I allowed for a 3/4” seam allowance on all sizes of this measurement = 16-3/4” x 16-3/4”

Cut your fabric to the dimensions your calculate in step 1.

Once your 2 fabrics are cut, flip them face to face {i.e the cover will be inside out when you go to glue the sides.)

Hot glue 3 sizes on the line before the seam allowance, leaving the bottom your last opening.

Cut all the corners of the cover flipped inside out. Just a diagonal small cut from the seam allowance towards the base where the hot glue is. Snip just above the hot glue. This will give your pillows perfect corners.

Then flip the cover right side out.

Stuff the pillow into the cover.

Flip the fabric on itself and hot glue the sides together to close the opening of the pillow.
