So one of my gifts for my birthday was from my awesome mother in law, and she gave me this grey comforter and pillow shams for our king bed. Love it!
But that's a "grown up" bedspread now and I need to have pillows on my bed other than the ones Micah and I actually use.
So hunting I went! Each pillow individually was $20 for the cheapest, ranging up to $35-$40 per pillow! No thanks!
Of course my next step was Pinterest. I found this amazing DIY that seriously was SO easy! I really wanted a pillow case that had a zipper so I could toss them into the wash really easily.
The pillows were so easy that I literally made 10 pillows in a day. So easy! Some projects I take on aren't worth all the effort I put into them, but these were so fast that you really don't need much sewing experience or time. Totes worth it.
I bought my pillow inserts from Walmart and Hobby Lobby (of course!) although Hobby Lobby had the cheaper ones. If I wasn't being impatient I'm sure I could've found better prices on eBay.
The fabric I also bought from Hobby Lobby (again not even a question). I bought the duck cloth thicker cotton material because I really wanted these pillows to look more professional than my other sad first attempts haha. I also bought zippers to go on each pillow because with a sneaky dog that creeps up onto my couch everyday, I wanted to be able to wash the pillow covers without wearing down the pillow itself.
I followed the Pinterest DIY to the T and they turned out perfectly, took hardly anytime & I actually want to make more. I ended up making all 10 pillows for $60! Happy crafting!
