How to Make Beach Decor Pillows
If you have a seaside cottage, you will love the look of decorative beach decor pillows. Sewn together circles of fabric with decorative stitching will make them look great. Attach beads or sequins to the gathered circles and you are done. You can even add a sand dollar or a starfish to make them more festive. Once you’ve finished sewing, you can add any embellishments you like to the pillow.
Sewing gathered circles
If you are using a stiff fabric, you may have to reposition the circle. Make sure that the circle lines up with the ends of the tube. Use a pin on each outer edge of the new fold to match the new crease line. Once the gathered circle has been placed inside the tube, you can continue sewing, keeping the crease line matching the seam. Repeat the process for the other sides of the circle.
Attaching decorative embellishments
If you’re looking for a fun way to dress up your beach decor pillows, you may want to add hand embroidery to the design. If you’re not comfortable sewing, you can purchase pattern books that explain how to sew applique. Alternatively, you can sew the embellishments onto the pillow directly from the pattern book. In either case, it’s important to sew them on carefully to avoid fraying or ruining the pillow.
Adding sequins
If you want to add a little extra flair to your beach decor pillows, you can sew on some sparkly sequins. You can also use colorful iron-on heat transfers to create a unique look for your pillow. Here are some simple tips to get you started. To start: If you’re using a plain pillow, trace the phrase you want to cover in sequins.
Adding beads
Adding beads to beach decor pillows can be a fun and inexpensive way to decorate your beach-themed home. These pillows can be purchased at many local craft stores. Beaded pillows are particularly fun for a nautical-themed home because they evoke a sense of the sea. They can be made from a variety of materials, including jute, cotton, and polyester. For a more affordable option, check out the Beaded Starfish Pillow. This pillow measures 16″L x 16″H.
