3 Ways to Make a No Sew Fleece Pillow
Introduction:
No-sew fleece pillows are a fantastic way to add a touch of comfort and personalization to your home without the need for any sewing skills. They make for perfect gifts or additions to your living space. Here are three easy methods to create your own no-sew fleece pillow using simple materials.
1. Knot-style No Sew Fleece Pillow:
– Materials Needed: Two pieces of fleece fabric (same size), scissors, pillow insert or fiberfill stuffing.
Step 1: Cut two equal-sized pieces of fleece fabric, making them slightly larger than your desired pillow size to accommodate for the knots.
Step 2: Place one piece of fabric on top of the other, aligning them in respect to pattern (if any) and with their right sides facing out.
Step 3: Cut out a square from each corner of the stacked fabric – this will help create a more uniform knot pattern around the edges.
Step 4: Make evenly spaced cuts about an inch wide and two inches long along all four sides of the stacked fabric.
Step 5: Tie each pair of matching strips together using an overhand knot, making sure not to pull too tight. Continue tying knots along all sides, leaving a small gap to insert the pillow or stuffing.
Step 6: Insert your pillow or stuff with fiberfill, and close the remaining gap by tying the last few knots.
2. Braided Edge No Sew Fleece Pillow:
– Materials Needed: Two pieces of fleece fabric (same size), scissors, pillow insert or fiberfill stuffing, and ruler/measuring tape.
Follow steps 1 – 3 from the knot-style method above, but make longer cuts approximately three inches long during step four.
Step 4: At each corner, separate the matching strips and cross them diagonally over each other like an “X.”
Step 5: Take one strip and weave it under the next strip, then over the following one. Repeat this weaving pattern all around the pillow until only a small gap is left.
Step 6: Insert your pillow or stuff with fiberfill, and finish weaving the strips to close the gap.
3. Fringed No Sew Fleece Pillow:
– Materials Needed: Two pieces of fleece fabric (same size), scissors, pillow insert or fiberfill stuffing, and fabric glue.
Follow steps 1 – 4 from the knot-style method above.
Step 5: Apply a bead of fabric glue along the edge of one piece of fabric (on the wrong side) before placing the other fabric piece on top, aligning them correctly.
Step 6: Press firmly to secure the fabrics together. Allow the glue to dry according to its instructions. Leave one side unglued for stuffing or inserting a pillow.
Step 7: Once dried, insert your pillow or stuff with fiberfill. Apply glue along the remaining open edge and secure by pressing both layers together firmly.
Conclusion:
These three methods offer an accessible way for anyone to create cozy and attractive no-sew fleece pillows. Choose your preferred style and enjoy adding a touch of softness to your home décor without any sewing involved!
