Lay them out edge to edge in the order shown in photo 1. Print the 14-page pdf pattern above on standard 8 1/2 X 11 paper (note page 6 is a spacer and does not contain any lines). This pattern is 1/2 of the arrow shape you will need to cut out of your fabric.įold your fabric in half and lay this pattern with the bottom edge along the fold or trace it into the complete arrow shape on a large piece of craft paper so you can save it for future pillows. Take care to fold in the cut edges so they no longer show and crease the corners so they are pointed. Neatly gather the wings of the arrow and tie a knot. Place your large, arrow-shaped fabric cut out art side facing down. Here is how your no-sew pillow cover goes on: The next step in this instructable contains tons of inspiration for you to browse. Note the area of the pillow where you can create your own art. The last step of this Instructable will include the to scale pattern for the shape in photo 1 above. My solution was to use a shape that requires a minimum amount of fabric so I could yield the most pillow covers from my fabric. There are many no-sew throw pillow cover tutorials online there but I find they tend to use way too much fabric and end up making something that ends up potato-shaped, not neat with crisp corners, so I came up with my own version. You can make multiple covers for each season or change them up for an inexpensive room refresh! Most importantly you get to choose the design you want for your pillows. The cover makes it easy to wash your pillow covers to keep them looking great. You can see some lumps in the pillow from the plastic filling, but not after the cover is on. It would be hard for anyone to guess the material was actually from my recycling bin! Turns out shredded plastic + a bit of upcycled synthetic fiberfill makes a very luxurious throw pillow that is weather-resistant which makes these pillows suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Truth is, the world cannot handle it and a solution for managing plastic must be found.įor now, any plastic packaging passing through my home or business is going to be used to make multiple throw pillows, which is what I will be showing how to do in this Instructable. Plastic is everywhere and it is hard to imagine how the world can handle it all. I currently save about 95% of the plastic that comes into my home and business. Plastic in landfills breaks down into nanoparticles which make their way into our oceans, our food, and ultimately into our bodies through our food and water supplies. Preventing all that plastic from entering our environment is really important. This project eats a serious amount of plastic from your recycling bin!
