Throw pillows are a cheap and easy way to change up your home decor. Allowing you to decorate for holidays as well as express your own personal style. In this post we’ll explore everything you need to know to make your own throw pillows for pennies.
Pillow Forms
First let’s start with the pillow form. These can be easily purchased. But if you would like to save a little money and be kind to the planet by reducing consumer waste. Then try this tutorial. It will show you how you can make your own pillow form using what you already have. Not only can you save money. This method enables you to make whatever size pillow form you would like. If you don’t have little fabric scraps and pieces of batting. My son and his girlfriend will use stuffing from thrifted stuffed toys to fill their pillows.
Throw Pillow Covers
Next you’ll want to sew up some cute covers for your newly made pillow forms. If you like to use different pillows for various holidays or seasons of the year but don’t want to store all those pillows. Then my exchangeable pillow cover tutorial is just what you need. With it you’ll be able to sew up throw pillows to your hearts content. And when you feel the need to switch things up simply remove the old covering and replace it with the new one. 
Do you need ideas for your throw pillows? Here are a few. You could try a quilt as you go pillow.
Another idea is to use an orphan block. I also like to combine blocks like half square triangles or strips to make a throw pillow.
Or make a larger pillow with a favorite word. My love pillow from Crumb Quilts is an example.
Or I recently used one of the blocks from my Summer Nights Sampler Booklet to make this pillow.
The possibilities are endless.
