5 Minute Pillow Cover DIY

Today I wanted to share a project that I seriously do all the time. This is my go-to way to create quick and easy pillow covers that literally takes minutes to complete. If you feel like your decor needs a little pick-me-up, changing your pillows can make for an instant improvement. If you don't feel like spending the cash on some brand new ones, try making some of these using your favourite fabric. The best part is, they are totally removable so you can change them up whenever you want, or toss them into the wash for a cleaning.

All you will need is a large light-weight scarf (I like to pick up affordable scarves at places like Forever21 and Target), and a throw pillow insert. UPDATE: the pillow used here is 16″x16″ and the scarf is 76″x40.”
Here’s how to make your pillow cover. First, open and lay your scarf down on a flat surface. Place your pillow insert onto the center of your scarf. Fold the bottom half of your scarf up over the top of your pillow form. Then fold the top half down. Grab the two long ends and knot them in the center of the pillow. Knot once more for a fuller look. Feel free to tweak the fabric until it looks good to you. Tuck loose scarf ends under the open scarf flaps on either side and distribute the bulk evenly.
