I enjoy using seasonal pillows and a few times I have shared some ideas in posts. You may recall a couple of summer pillows I showed you. Click here and here to see those. You can click here to see some fall ideas, while a few winter pillows may be revisited here and here and here. I find that actual pillows, pillow covers and handmade pillows are all useful! One of my friends shared this no-sew method with me and I wanted to pass it along.
You will need a small pillow and a square of fabric. I was able to use a patriotic bandana for my project. You can, obviously, cut a square of fabric as large as necessary.
Open the bandana (or fabric) and lay it flat in a diamond shape. Center the pillow and fold the bottom point up and top point down, overlapping in the center.

Did you catch the "made in China" label on my American
flag bandana? 🙄

Next you can fold in the sides, envelope-style. Pinch and smooth the corners for a crisper look.
Where the two points meet, tie a knot.
You will note that the nautical design showed through the bottom white stripe, so I ended up taking it apart and reversing the pillow to resolve that problem.
You can change the color and look of a pillow...and it's knot difficult!
