Christmas Decorating-How to Add a Splash of Color by learning to make Decorative Pillows for the Holiday

Do you have a party to plan for the holidays?  If your looking for a fast last minute before your guest arrive project that you can fit in to your Christmas home décor, try adding some holiday charm to non holiday sofa style pillows.  Not only will you be able to transform the look of your plain pillows within seconds, you will also have custom designed pillows that your guests are sure to love.  You need to do something, so lets get going. 

This project requires no sewing. So put the needle and thread away.  Begin by carefully wrapping a felt ribbon around the front center of your pillow.  Next, taking a miniature felt - covered ornament type pillow, attach it to the felt ribbons by tying the ornament hanger and felt ribbon together.  The ornament can very easily be removed for other purposes.  Remember, this is a quick project to add a little extra Christmas cheer.  Note: Try using felt ribbon that comes with bells attached, or different ornament design patterns with similar felt covered materials to add texture and interest to your pillows.  That is it.  Very simple and quick.  Below is a list of items you will need for completing this quick Christmas decorating project

Supplies:

• Solid colored sofa pillows (we used a forest green micro suede pillow (16” x 16”)
• Red felt ribbon with miniature red bells attached (3 ½ ft. x 1 ½ “w)
• 1 Red – Miniature felt – covered ornament type pillow (we selected one with a pinecone and holly design stitched to the ornament
