How to Make Throw Pillow Covers

“I love fall most of all!” This is true my friend… how about you? I made this fun printable with you in mind. Feel free to use it as a framed piece of art or… make one of these easy pillow covers with the following step-by-step instructions.

Step One

Start by cutting out a piece of drop cloth or canvas approximately 8.5″x 11″ in size.

Step Two

To ensure your fabric is flat, you can use a fun little craft iron to smooth out any wrinkles.

Step Three

Next, adhere the sticker paper to the fabric and trim the edges to fit using a rotary cutting tool.

Step Four

Feed your paper-backed fabric into your inkjet color printer and print out your printable design.

Remove the paper from the fabric and fray the edges of your drop cloth.

Optionally, you can add pretty doilies to the corners of your pillow front using fabric glue.

Step Seven

Attach the pillow panel using buttons or velvet tacks! (Remember, this is home decor for display only)
