Pillow Re-Do!

As we prepare for the big move to VA, I have some crafty house projects that I am going to complete before hand. I have finished several projects in the last week and will post about most of them this week before the big move. I can't believe it is just a week away!!! Crazy!!! But anyway, the first project I will share with you is some pillow re-do's. (This post is for you Dad since I know you LOVE throw pillows SOOO much!) :) I wanted to spruce up some rooms in our new house with throw pillows. We all know (well I should say "we all" refers to all women) that throw pillows are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! So I looked for some ways to add some throw pillow fun to our home without breaking the budget!

The first thing I ran across was throw pillow covers from Bed Bath and Beyond. These are awesome because they are only $10 and really well made. Considering it cost usually at least $20 per throw pillow I think these are a steal. Here are my couch throw pillows before:

and after the pillow cover:

My next two pillow projects were a little labor intensive, but very CHEAP.

I wanted new pillows for Eli's room and the basement area, so I went to Hobby Lobby, found some fun fabric, and sewed some new pillow coverings. Here are some before, during, and after pics of that project.

Random pillows I had laying around.

Starting the sewing project.

After some hard labor of sewing... NEW PILLOWS :)

These will be for Eli's Room. (love the pattern!)

These will go in the basement/guest area.



Total cost for this project - $8 for fabric

My last pillow project was also for Eli's room ( a girl needs cute pillows right?)

We took these boring blue pillows

I bought a package of buttons at Hobby Lobby and sewed buttons on the pillows to spruce them up.



Total cost of this project $5





So... a few hours of labor at $32 later I have 8 new throw pillows! I can't wait to decorate with our new throw pillows. There will be lots of decorating posts as the fun begins in VA!

Another crafty project tomorrow :)
