How to Make a Painted Watercolor Pillow with an Envelope Closure

I am going to show you how to make the cover for any size of pillow form you might have.

I make so many pillow covers this way, because it is so quick and easy and the results are beautiful and professional.

1. Pillow Form 2. Fabric

HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

– Measure your pillow form along the edges and determine it’s dimensions. Mine came to 13 x 13 inches. – For the front piece of the pillow, you’ll want to add anywhere from 2 inches – 4 inches to those dimensions of the pillow form.

HOW MUCH FABRIC YOU NEED

2. Now take that back piece you just cut (the 20 x 15) and fold in in half, width wise.  This marks the center point. 3. Cut along that center point, forming 2 pieces.  I now had 2 pieces at 10 x 15.

At this point, I did my watercolor painting on all 3 pieces.
