Add a touch of elegance and style to your home decor with decorative pillows adorned with fringe trim. At Trims By The Yard, we offer a wide range of trims to help you create beautiful, customized pillows. Follow our step-by-step guide to make your own stunning decorative pillows with fringe trim.
Materials Needed
- Plain pillow cover (pre-made or fabric to sew your own)
- Fringe trim (available in various colors and styles)
- Fabric glue or sewing kit
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Pins
- Pillow insert
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Measure and Prepare
- Choose Your Pillow Cover: Select a plain pillow cover that matches your decor. If you’re sewing your own cover, cut the fabric to the desired size, adding seam allowances.
- Select Fringe Trim: Choose a fringe trim that complements the color and style of your pillow cover. Consider the length and type of fringe for the desired effect.
- Measure and Cut the Trim: Measure the edges of your pillow cover to determine the amount of fringe trim needed. Cut the trim to the appropriate lengths, leaving a little extra for finishing the edges.
Step 2: Attach the Fringe Trim
- Lay Out Your Pillow Cover: Spread your pillow cover out on a flat surface. Ensure it is clean and wrinkle-free.
- Pin the Fringe Trim: Position the fringe trim along the edges of the pillow cover. Pin the trim in place to secure it, making sure the fringe hangs outward.
- Sew or Glue the Fringe Trim: Using a sewing machine, sew the fringe trim onto the pillow cover with a straight stitch. If you prefer not to sew, you can use fabric glue to attach the trim. Follow the glue manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
- Finish the Edges: For a polished look, fold the ends of the fringe trim under and secure them with a few stitches or a dab of fabric glue.
Step 3: Assemble the Pillow
- Insert the Pillow Insert: Once the fringe trim is securely attached, insert the pillow insert into the cover.
- Close the Pillow Cover: If you sewed your own cover, sew the final edge closed. If you’re using a pre-made cover, zip or button it closed.
- Fluff and Arrange: Fluff the pillow to ensure the insert is evenly distributed and the fringe trim hangs beautifully.
Tips for Success
- Choose High-Quality Materials: Using high-quality fabric and fringe trim will ensure your decorative pillow looks professional and lasts longer.
- Match Your Decor: Select fringe trim that complements your existing decor for a cohesive look.
- Take Your Time: Carefully measure and pin your trim to achieve the best results. Rushing can lead to uneven or crooked trim.
