Punch Up Plain Pillows

Pillow with a Message Add a simple message to a purchased pillow. Open one pillow seam and remove the pillow form. Slip a piece of cardboard inside the cover,and stencil words across the center.
Paint the words with fabric or acrylic paint, let dry. Remove the cardboard, insert pillow form,and stitch the seam closed.
Little Additions to Pillows Sweet little additions bring whimsy to plain pillows. Tie a ribbon around a pillow just tight enough;no sewing is needed. Select a pretty button for a puckered pillow. Mark the button placement on the front and back exactly at center. Use a long hand sewing needle and upholstery thread to stitch it on.
