Reason #1,000 not to buy throw pillows from a store: They are ALWAYS cuter when you make them yourself.
It will be CHEAPER to make them!
Chances are, any pillow you buy will not be exactly what you want. Making your own throw pillows gives you so many more possibilities.
Think about it......take the plunge and make your own pillows!!
TOTAL COST for 6 throw pillows: $30.- I bought $15 in fabric (I bought niiiice fabric!)
- $15 for 3 pillow forms
- I RECYCLED 3 old, ugly throw pillows, and just re-covered them. (this is a great way to save money!!)

Lovely pillows! I am always amazed at the store prices and have made some of my own as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pillows! Where do you buy your pillow forms? I am going to make some new throw pillows instead of getting a new couch, maybe it will jazz it up a bit!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out really cute! I'm in the process of trying to find some cute fabric for throw pillows for our couch. I feel so clueless as to what designs to do and what not. I love what you've done, and I LOVE the fabric you used!!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I read everything you put up on your blog and I have never been disappointed! Now if I could just put your energy in a bottle I would be all set. =D
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a tutorial on this. I just had bought fabric to try to make pillows for my bed because the ones I liked were $40 per pillow!
