Easy No-Sew Pillow for Halloween or Anytime
 |
It's
so Easy it's Spooky!
Two simple polar fleece
panels come together without a single stitch to create a cuddly pillow
perfect for crisp fall weather -- and scary stories! This is a great family
craft project. Anyone who can tie a knot can join in!
Match it with our
No-Sew Fleece Throw!
It's just as easy to make.
|
| But
it's not just for Halloween. With the great variety of polar fleece patterns
and preprinted panels available, you can do this fun craft project for just
about any occasion, from Christmas to baby showers. It's quick, easy and
really impressive -- even for the most craft-challenged among us!
Materials:
2 Polar fleece squares cut to the same size, we chose 2 complementary
patterns with spooky jack-o'-lanterns (from Jo-Ann's Fabrics and Crafts)
***To cut the fleece squares, measure the pillow form size and allow 4"
on all sides for the fringe. Example: for a 16" pillow form, cut
2- 24" squares***
Scissors or Pinking Shears
Rotary fabric cutter (optional)
Cutting pad (optional)
Ruler
Pillow form
.

Step
1
Measure your pillow form and cut the two fleece panels, allowing 4"
all around for cutting 4" fringes - Example: for a 16" pillow
form, cut 2- 24" squares
. We cut the panels
to size using pinking shears to get a jagged edge.
Note:
Polar fleece stretches one way and not the other, make sure both panels
stretch along the same length when cutting.
|
|
|
Step 2
Align the two panels together, back to back, and cut fringes down one
side, through both fabric thicknesses. We used a rotary cutter, but scissors
are fine, too. We cut fringe 4" long and the width of our ruler (1-1/4").
Fringe cut to about 1" to 1.5" in width works best for this
craft project.
Note:
When you get to the corners, you will cut the corner square completely
out.
|
|
|
Step 3
Starting on one end of the cut fringe, tie together one front fringe with
one back fringe, tightening the knot so it holds the front an back panel
securely together.
A square knot works best, and tie them all in the same direction (right
over left, left over right) for a consistent finish. Continue tying knots
down the full side.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 on the other two sides, leaving one side open. Insert
the pillow form and knot the fringe on the remaining side. Curl up and
enjoy!
