This is a simple, fun craft that is perfect for sprucing up your home decor, decorating for the holidays, or even making as Christmas gifts! You can do as many as you'd like, and make them in any size, color, or pattern that you'd like!

Here are a few photos of what we will be making:

 For your pillow forms:
You can use any square or rectangular throw pillow form that you'd like. Have some old couch pillows you want to recover? Found some at a yard sale or thrift store that need something new? Recovering old pillows is a great use of this craft! And the covers are removable, so you can make several covers and switch out if you'd like!

If you're making gifts or just need new pillows, you can find pillow forms everywhere! Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Joanns, or even Amazon! If you need help finding some, let me know, Id love to help!

Fabric:
This is what I really love about this project, everyone's pillows can be completely individual. You will need fabric of your choosing that is safe to iron for each pillow. If you're unsure of the ironing bit, ask the store clerk or even send me a text :) Now the tricky part, How much fabric do you need? Pillows come in some standard sizes, but you'll need to do a rough measurement of your pillow and look at this info sheet to see how much fabric you need:

Please don't let this stress you out! You can have more fabric than this, just not less. You can do two covers for two 12x12 pillows in one standard yard of fabric. Check the fabric height when purchasing just to make sure, some are more than 45 inches! Don't worry about cutting the height until the day of, just make sure to get enough length :)

You can leave a comment below or call, text or email Krista with ANY questions you have! We want this craft to be a success for all of us and to most importantly enjoy our time of fun and fellowship with our one anothers in Christ!!
