Everyone has pillows in their home. They are great decorations because they are also cozy items and not just purely decorative elements that take space. Today we're going to show two different ways of creating beautiful pillows for your home. The first one is a triangle pillow. To make a similar one you'll need wool felt, permanent fabric glue, fabric scissors, a rotary cutting tool, a self-healing mat, a ruler, scrap paper and a square template.

Start by cutting the wool felt into 2.5'' wide strips. Using the template cut the strips into even squares. Each pillow requires nine squares but it all depends of the design you choose. Next, place the ruler through the middle of one square and draw a line. Then cut all the squares in half, creating triangles. Finally, create a geometrical pattern using the triangles and use fabric glue to attach them to the pillow.

Another classical pattern includes stripes. To create a striped pillow you'll need fabric paint in any color you want and a paint palette or container. All you need to do is paint stripes across the pillow. You can use a ruler for better results. You can also alternate several colors, combine them and come up with your own stripe design. You can create as many or as few stripes you want.{found on creaturecomfortsblog}.
