This pillow’s pleated front is embellished with thin belted accents and a bow. With no intricate angles or curves, it’s a great project to practice pleating. Master the fold-and-tuck method, and you can use it again and again.
Patchwork done in small prints in a coordinated color palette is lovely. But when you want to mix it up, try bold designs + bright colors set against crisp, clean white with hand embroidery on the front and pretty tassels on the back.
We searched for trendy decorator pillows at retail then “knocked off” our own versions for $100s less, like this bold awning-stripe option with piping + peek-through grommets. Other interesting accents? Try buckles, rings or toggles.
The inspiration for this pillow came from the double-layer ruffles on a beautiful blouse. Taking ideas from garment construction is a fun way to incorporate unique techniques and embellishments into home décor.
