Easy DIY Easter Pillow

Well, I put away my Lucky St. Patrick’s Day Pillow and remembered that I bought some Easter fabric napkins on clearance at Target last year. At $.39 a napkin, I knew I could turn it into something cute.

I actually don’t have an Easter pillow (GASP!) so I decided to correct that and whip one up with two of the napkins. Not bad for $.78!

 

Supplies:

  • 2 Fabric Napkins
  • Sewing machine
  • Coordinating thread
  • Ruler/Rotary Cutter and Mat

Instructions:

Step 1

First I cut out the “Happy Easter” part on the blue napkin and frayed the edges a little bit.

Step 2

Next, I cut out a 17″ x 13″ piece from the Easter egg napkin.

And then I cut out two pieces 11″ x 13″ of the blue to make an envelope style closure.

Step 3

I pinned and stitched the “Happy Easter” piece onto the front of the egg fabric.

Step 4

I pressed under the 13″ side of the blue fabric twice and then sewed a straight line (doing this on both pieces of fabric).

Then I pinned it in place and sewed everything closed. I clipped the corners and then turned it right side out and inserted a 12″ x 16″ lumbar pillow form.

It took me all of about 15 minutes to complete.

Have I talked you into learning how to sew yet? You can do it! I am self-taught!

Buy yourself a cheap starter sewing machine and experiment.

Of course, I think pillows are the quickest and easiest way to change out a room so start there first!

  1. Your Birth Announcement Pillow inspired me to make one for a friend and while I’m a super novice sewer, it was much easier than I thought. Thanks for all the great tutorials!
