DIY Scarf Pillows

My inspiration for this week's project was when I peeked through Urban Outfitters Spring preview.  I saw this:

Vintage Scarf Pillow

I love the look of this pillow, but thought to myself "I could totally make this".  Now, just so you know, I am no master when it comes to needle and thread.  I am more like the iron-on lady. It looked like a "no sew" project, so I was in!  I have a drawer in my closet with all my scarves and such, so I went digging through and found some forgotten treasures (I love when that happens)!  I have had a few pillows I wanted to recover anyway, so this project was a winner, not to mention FREE!!! Boo-Ya.

DIY: Scarf Pillows (this will take you the amount of time to put on mascara, awesome).

Step 1: Lay scarf out and place pillow in the middle

Step 2: Bring two sides (opposite of each other) to the middle.  Gather, and tie in a knot.

Step 3: Bring the other two sides together and repeat step 2.

Step 4: Roll in the corners so that the extra material isn't hanging around looking like a mess.  Make the whole thing tidy by tucking, tying, rolling, etc.

Step 5: Finished project! Place wherever you want a cute little Toss Pillow.  Bravo, you made something adorable in less then 5 minutes. (P.S. I love how cute and fresh this Purple Gingham is next to the Turquoise and matching blooms.  This pillow now resides on a side chair in my Dining room. I am a happy girl.) 

More Pillows I made:

LOVE this scarf that I have had for like 6 years. It was just sitting at the bottom of my drawer.  

This scarf wasn't big enough to cover the whole pillow, but since it was a plain white silk pillow to begin with, I just tied it around the middle.  I love the fun vibe and bright colors of this one.

This is my favorite one I made.  First, I love Hot pink and Turquoise together.  Second, I love the fun Geometric print.  Brilliant.

Have fun making your own pillows!!! XO.
