Diy No-Sew Fur Trimmed Pillow

Last calendar month land cruising the aisles of Homegoods, I saw some beautiful plaid fur trimmed pillows, but since I actually didn't NEED them, I saved my coin for something else.  Of course, later on I instant guessed myself as well as decided I mightiness require them after all, but idea I mightiness endure able to come upwards up amongst my ain version (for a lot less $$, too!).  And, I'm certain that the mistaken fur accessory cut back isn't going anywhere anytime soon, as well as therefore I idea I'd larn several seasons of utilisation out of them.

On my finally trip to Ikea, I picked upwards several blood-red Gurli pillow covers thinking I mightiness utilisation them for Christmas.  I'm glad I had them on hand.  At $4 each, these covers can't endure beat.  The cloth is thick as well as sturdy, the zipper makes it tardily to insert a filler, as well as the 20x20 size is nice.  Although my inspiration pillows were plaid, I idea this company color would endure ameliorate for the mix I wanted correct now.  

So, here's all you lot require for this project.  A pillow encompass (or existing pillow if you lot receive got i you lot desire to spruce up), mistaken fur, as well as a hot gum gun.

I bought 1 1/4 yards of mistaken fur for simply about $15 amongst my coupon applied from Hobby Lobby.  This fur worked good because the pilus is longer as well as it covers whatsoever imperfections or seams easily.  

I cutting my fur lengthwise into 4" broad strips.  They were 45" long, as well as ii of those were plenty to larn simply about i pillow cover.  I barely overlapped the ends of ii strips as well as glued them together to brand i long strip earlier outset the project.

TIP:  Cut fur from the incorrect side, slipping the blade tip of your pair of scissors simply underneath the backing to cut.  It's much easier to cutting this agency as well as makes the mess a fleck to a greater extent than manageable.  (This projection IS messy!  Anytime you're working amongst mistaken fur it pretty much gets everywhere.)

Beginning simply over the halt of the zipper, utilisation hot gum to affix the border of the fur to the border of the cover.  These covers receive got a seam along the border that I followed, but if your's doesn't, it's pretty tardily to eyeball it.  The fur is real forgiving as well as edging doesn't receive got to endure perfect.

Continue gluing all the agency around, until you lot larn to the other halt of the zipper.  When you lot larn to a corner, you'll desire to give yourself a trivial extra length equally you're turning to brand the corner prissy as well as total (don't brand the fur also tight simply about the corners).  It volition gap, but simply position a trivial hot gum on the corner as well as pinch the excess together land gluing to the pillow.  Hard to explain, simply play amongst it a little. 

After you've finished that, flip the pillow over, crimp the fur strip closed simply about the border of the pillow, as well as gum that side downwardly all the agency around.

Here's what you'll receive got left after you've glued all the agency around, except for the zipper.  

  
Cut a slice of the strip you lot receive got left over that is the length of the constituent that's nonetheless unfinished.  Fold it incorrect side together as well as gum it closed.

Now, we're going to gum that strip downwardly to the front end of the pillow, next the same seam that you lot did simply about the residue of the pillow.  Try to concur the pilus dorsum the best you lot tin terminate equally you're gluing it downwardly to the cover, as well as therefore you're gluing equally closed to the border of the fur equally possible.  You're roofing upwards the zipper, but leaving the dorsum uncovered as well as therefore the zipper volition nonetheless endure functional.

Here's what the dorsum volition await similar when you're finished.  From the front, it looks similar i continuous slice but you lot tin terminate nonetheless opened upwards the dorsum to position inwards the pillow insert.

When you're finished gluing, accept the encompass exterior as well as milkshake it out actually good to withdraw all of the unloosen fur that volition endure roofing everything.  ;)  Stuff amongst your pillow insert, fluff it upwards a little, as well as you're finished!

The fur that I bought is plenty to brand at to the lowest degree four pillows, as well as therefore I receive got plenty left for more.  I intend these would endure pretty after Christmas, too, on a to a greater extent than neutral colored encompass for winter.  So, for less than what i pillow would receive got toll me at Homegoods, I tin terminate brand 4!

And because I actually similar you lot guys, here's a sneak peek at my Christmas tour that is upwards on Fri equally constituent of the 2015 Christmas Home Tours.  I'm as well as therefore excited to finally receive got a pretty bedroom to decorate for Christmas!  

And, i to a greater extent than friendly reminder... did you lot come inwards my giveaway for a beautiful cowhide rug?  If not, hurry!  It ends tonight!
