Hello Everybody!
Thank you for visiting with me today!
A while ago I had the privilege to visit one of my favorite blogs,
UCreate and share with Kari and her readers one of my favorite projects:
How to turn a regular king size pillow into two throw pillow inserts.
This is a perfect little project to recycle old pillows or to save good money specially on down throw pillows,
since you can pay anywhere between $25 and $50 for just one insert.
MATERIALS
Basically all you’ll need is a king size pillow, scissors, pins and a sewing machine.
TIP: You can purchase super affordable pillows at your local HomeGoods Stores or TJMax.
You can buy two king size pillows and make four down pillows for about $20… That is a good deal!
TUTORIAL
1
First using scissors cut your pillow right in half.
Nothing fancy!
2
Push the filling of your pillow in with your hands as much as you can.
3
Keep the filling inside of the case and out of the way pining the fabric together.
You want to have at least a 2.5″ piece of empty fabric to work with for the next step.
After the pinning it should look like this…
4
Close to the edge of the fabric, seal the pillow together.
More space you leave to work with… easier the sewing will be.
5
Remove your pins and distribute the filling evenly again with your hands.
Make it puffy!
You are done!
I do this all the time!
It saves me a lot of money and I can get high quality pillow inserts for a fraction of the cost.

YOU SAVED ME!!! I have been hunting…stalking….throw pillows every where that fit into my buget that I like. The thought of spending $20+ for just one throw pillow does not sit well with what I can justify. I just cant believe I have not thought of this!! now I can save money and solve my desire for good throw pillows and not just the mass production-run of the mill throw pillows!! I am super excited to start picking out my fabric!!!
