“DIY Decor: Two Easy Methods for Crafting Your Own Bolster Pillow”
Our Opinion
Greetings fellow parents! Are you tired of spending a fortune on stylish bolster pillows for your home? Do you wish you could make your own, but don’t know where to start? Fear not, because the staff here at The Parent Game have got you covered! Today, we’re going to show you not one, but TWO ways to make your very own bolster pillow. And the best part? You don’t need a sewing machine or any fancy equipment. Let’s get started!
Method 1: The No-Sew Approach
If you’re like us and the mere thought of threading a needle makes you break out in a cold sweat, then this no-sew method is perfect for you. All you need is some fabric (we recommend a stretchy material like jersey or fleece), stuffing (you can use old clothes, towels, or even grocery bags), and a pair of scissors.
Start by cutting your fabric into a long rectangle. The length of the rectangle will determine the size of your bolster pillow, so feel free to customize it to fit your needs. Once you have your fabric cut, place the stuffing in the center of the rectangle and roll the fabric around it, creating a tube shape. Use fabric glue or hot glue to secure the edges together, and voila! You have yourself a DIY bolster pillow in no time.
Method 2: The Sewing Machine Shortcut
If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want a polished look for your bolster pillow, then the sewing machine method is for you. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a master seamstress to pull this off. Start by cutting two pieces of fabric into long rectangles – this will be the top and bottom of your pillow. Then, cut a strip of fabric that will wrap around the sides of the pillow.
Using your sewing machine, sew the top and bottom pieces together along one long edge, leaving the other long edge open. Next, sew the strip of fabric around the edges of the top and bottom pieces, creating a tube shape. Leave a small opening to stuff the pillow with your desired filling. Once stuffed, sew the opening closed, and there you have it – a professionally made bolster pillow that will impress all your friends.
There you have it, folks – two easy and affordable ways to make your own bolster pillow. So next time you’re looking to spruce up your home decor, skip the expensive store-bought options and get crafty with these DIY methods. Happy crafting!
