DIY All Weather Pillows

June 9, 2012 By Barb Camp 23 Comments

 

 My project today is a pair of DIY All Weather Pillows.  It was super easy and adds so much color to my outside sitting area.

 

  My husband made me a beautiful pergola swing which I LOVE!!!  You can see it here   I wanted some fun pillows for it.  I wanted some that if they got wet, it wouldn’t take forever to dry.  I thought I’d try a vinyl table cloth after I saw a really fun one at Walmart.   

To begin, gather your supplies:
Note:  I first did this project with a glue gun, but it doesn’t work well with the vinyl.  So take out the glue gun and add a sewing machine.
 
 
I spread the tablecloth out and laid my pillow out to measure where to cut.  I then cut what I needed.  The next step is to sew up the sides and slide the pillow form in.  I am including a good tutorial on how to make it an envelope pillow. Here is a video on how to make it.
 
These both took less than 30 min. to make and I have some fun pillows for my new swing.
 
You can see directions to make the outdoor bunting here.

      Thanks Holly! My one concern is that they would be too hot. I actually lay on my swing. :) We just had some 90 weather and they were actually usable. Thanks for a great party!
