The 10th DIY of Christmas: Easy Floral-Embellished Pillows
When it comes to holiday crafting, unless you started back in August, it's always best to stick with easy, less time-consuming projects — especially when you're in the homestretch of Christmas crafting! I made two of these pillows in less than an hour. They are easy for even beginning seamstresses, and the small, calla lily floral detail on the pillows adds a fun visual element that helps to make them more unique. For a more lifelike look, you could make these pillows in white linen and use a yellow piece of linen for the stamen.
Here's What You'll Need
- 1 yard of fabric (or a little more, depending on the size of your pillows)
- pillow forms or stuffing
- scissors
- thread in coordinating color
- sewing machine
- iron
- needle and thread for hand sewing
