This time Iam going to tell a few secrets to make a livingroom, familyroom or even a den look decorated with out much work at all..

• Buy birthday material to match your decor. One yard should cover 2 throw pillows. To make pillow covers, cut the material 2 1/2 times the length of the pillow, 2 inches wider than the widgth. fold the material inside out so that the ends come together and overlap by at least an inch or two. Sew a 1/4" straight stitch along the top and bottom to form an envelope for your pillow. Turn it right side out and iron. Put your pillow inside and now you have a cheap throw pillow, that doesn't take up much space at the end of the holiday, its just a small pillow case to put away...



• For a fancy pillow cut 6 sqaure pieces of material 12", sew 4 sqaures together to form the sides of the box. sew on the top and bottom. Leave a small opening at the top to fill with stuffing. Hand stitch the small opening after filling. Tie a fancy ribbon on it make a present.. Solid colored fabric is best. Use whatever ribbon you like. Think of the possibilites. Red for christmas and birthdays etc..



• If all this seems like way more work than it is worth just tie pretty ribbons on the solid colored throw pillows you already have..

This idea makes any room seem completely decorated for any event. Its so simple to do with very little work. Besides you can be proud that you made it yourself and done it with very little money...
