Canvas & Gingham Pillows

I decided to slipcover my existing pillows to brighten our apartment.  I found green gingham for "buy 1 meter get 2 meters free".  I couldn't pass it up.  And, I already had canvas so here is what I put together...


Here are the canvas pillows.  I wanted to make ruffled pillows and decided to do each one differently...





 
I made this pillow using a standard-sized feather pillow as an insert and I did not add ruffles because my husband likes to lay on the couch and I thought this would make a much more comfy pillow to rest his head!  I added the chocolate brown stripes using craft paint.
 
 
The gingham pillows were left "plain".  I simply added cording to the edges to give the pillows a "finished" look.
 

 
 
On the backs of all the pillows I added ties...
 



Here they are all together...


 
 
Thank you for stopping by....
