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

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 pillows within seconds, you'll also have custom designed pillows that your guests are sure to love. 

This project requires no sewing. 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 be easily removed for other purposes. 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.

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 (see photo)
