DIY No Sew Pillow Cover - Heart of a Mountain Mama

I’ve been working on giving my front porch an “up-do” without breaking my wallet. It seems that with a 90 year old home, we always have projects that we are working on and/or adding to our long list of unfinished projects, and with two kids 3 years old and under, who has the time to do anything else?

With that said, I wanted an easy a cheap way to give my front porch some color. So I decided on these “no sew pillow covers.” I bought my fabric at Hobby Lobby on sale and made three pillows for $10! You can’t beat that! Here are the step-by-step instructions!

What you’ll need:

1 yard of fabric per pillow
An old pillow to cover
Scissors

Yes, that’s it!!!!

Step 1:

Take a yard of fabric and lay it out in the shape of a diamond. You will want to fold in “width” of the bolt that was cut to make a perfect square. Just measure it down to the 36 inches and fold.

Step 2:

Fold the pillow over once.

Step 3:

Fold the opposite end on top.

Step 4:

Fold the end under, to create a straight line.

Step 5:

Fold the sides in, like you are wrapping a present.

Step 6:

Grab each side and pull together to tie a knot! You can tuck the ends under the pillow (seen in the final pictures) or you can leave them out. Whatever you prefer!
