Why are throw pillows so expensive?
Seriously, though you go out to buy some throw pillows and if you need more than say, one you can spend almost $100 in pillows!
No thanks.
The other day I was at the thrift store and saw this shirt. Im sure some nice Granny wore it at one point but I had other plans.
Heres what you do:
I cut out a rectangle to the size I wanted ( using mostly the middle of the shirt). Cut through both layers- duh.
Turn inside out and sew up the sides. Unbutton the front and turn right side out.
Stuff or insert pillow form and button up.
Thats it!
Now you have a cute throw pillow for a couch or bedroom for $1.
( Not including whatever you use for fill- I used filling from another pillow I already had)
Now on to make another 7 or so.






Such a great idea to use the buttons to close up the pillow! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I also agree that throw pillows in the shops are way overpriced! Your homemade pillow has style. Love the texture too. :)
