Have you ever wondered how to achieve the designer look of top end home décor stores using simple and inexpensive materials? This project is great example of creating a colorful textured outdoor/indoor throw pillow using yarn. I love the contrast between the layered fringe throw pillow and the polka dot tassel throw pillow paired together. You can make a whole set of vibrant pillows using a little time and effort. You’re going to love the results! And better yet…. it was made by you :) This do it yourself project will have any living room or outdoor space popping with color and fun!
Materials
Yarn
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Scissors
Medium-Sized Book
Medium-Sized paintbrush(or something to wrap yarn around for Pom Poms)
Pillow covers (or cover over existing plain pillows)
First
Start by wrapping yarn around the width of a rectangle style object. In this case... I used a medium-sized book and wrapped yarn around the width of the book about twenty times.
Second
I cut the yarn on width end of the book after I accumulated a decent amount of wrapped yarn.
Third
Use the individual pieces of yarn to attach to a single cut piece of yarn that stretches the entire width of the pillow that is being covered. I closely loop-hooked each individual piece of yarn to the single piece of yarn. I pulled the knot-like loops tightly to ensure they were secure.
Fourth
I created six individual lines of loop-hooked yarn and adjusted them on the pillow in rows on top of one another. I used a glue gun to adhere the rows of yarn to the pillow.
Finally
Adhere the individual pom poms to the pillow using a glue gun.
