Pillow Cover – made from Ikea Ofelia Blanket

Easiest pillow cover ever!!
I love updating little things in my house for Spring.  Yes, I am already thinking ahead to Spring; that’s how I get this time of year!  Couch pillows are one thing I love changing out for the seasons.

I made this pillow cover using the $19.99 Ofelia Blanket from Ikea.  See all the reasons why I love this blanket so much HERE.  I only used 1/3 of this blanket to make this pillow cover.  See what other projects I made from my blanket HERE & HERE.

This fabric is so very forgiving, that’s what made this so easy to make.  Basically you just measure, cut, finish off any raw edges, dye, wash, dry, then insert pillow form!  Just a little tip when measuring and cutting out your fabric: remember that this material is very stretchy.  You don’t want your pillow cover to fit too loose on your form so it’s better if you measure your fabric a little smaller rather than bigger.  You will know what I’m talking about as you start to play around with it!
 Think of all the colors you could dye this??!!  I love the shabby-chic feel of this pillow!
BTW, this would make a great gift!

Hey, I'm Kami!

Welcome to the blog

Wife to my Jr. High sweetheart, mother to three daughters. I have always loved being social and staying connected with other people who have similar interests to me. I started a blog back in 2010 and have been in the social networking scene since then. I love meeting new people and helping them feel confident, and see their own beauty.
