Hey, hey everyone! I have an easy and fun craft today, if I should say so myself.
I love interior design. I like to make my living space relaxed yet visually appealing, and going to home decor stores brings me joy. I usually go in with something specific in mind (ex. a throw or kitchen towels), but sometimes little items catch my fancy.
One. single. napkin.
If I were to use it on my dining table, I could make it work by gathering other table napkins in the same color palette and make an attractive table setting.
I unearthed some black fabric I had left over from this project, some sewing supplies, and a throw pillow.
Yes, I'm making a cushion cover!
Measure the napkin so it can cover the pillow (adding a 1/2 inch margin all around). With the black fabric, cut a matching square. Pin them together and sew around it, leaving a hole to insert the pillow. A zipper, buttons, snaps...how you want to close the cushion cover is entirely up to you.
Use it as an accent on a sofa or favorite chair.
It wasn't so much "blah" to begin with, but this is a terrific example of how to take something (simple) up several notches to "tada". Great inspiration! I can see it now... cloth napkin pillows take over the home dec market. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Rochelle. The modern print made me want to buy it (and the clearance price tag, too!). We don't have a lot of dinner parties so having this as a pillow allows me to enjoy it everyday. Thanks for your visit!
ReplyDeleteI love the bold, graphic design of the fabric. I would have wanted to buy that last napkin, too!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh Priscilla...we might have to fight over the last one. ;-) Kidding! Thanks for visiting!
