Room Decor DIY - Scalloped Trim Pillow (No sew)






Today's post I am bringing you an affordable and easy room decor DIY.  Using Scalloped trim and a table napkin, I created a throw pillow.  You can watch the video above or follow the directions listed below.  I hope you enjoy!

Materials Needed:
Cloth Napkin - can be found in the dish-ware section at Target, Macys, etc 
Scalloped Trim - Craft Store
Pillow Stuffing Sutffing - I recycled my old pillow
Glue Gun
Scissors

Step 1
Starting with cloth napkin.  Fold in half and glue three sides, the fourth side should be left unglued (it needs an opening to insert stuffing).

Step 2
Measure with scallop trim to determine how much trim you will use for the cloth napkin.  This step is simple because the cloth napkin has a set measurement.  Basically, you just need to follow the edge of the cloth napkin.  Measure, cut, and glue on to the edges of the cloth napkin. Let glue dry.

Step 3
Cut open an old pillow to use the stuffing.  Insert as much stuffing needed for pillow.

Step 4
Once pillow is stuffed and shaped.  Glue the end to close.  Easy right?!

Use as a throw pillow for a little extra decor on furniture.

Estimated Time of project: Under 30 minutes.
Level: Easy
Cost: Under $10

Room Decor DIY post...COMING SOON!

If you've been keeping up with my youtube videos then you know that I have been filming room decor DIY's.  I am in the process of re-decorating my bedroom and wanted to share some of the DIY projects that am doing.  So far I have uploaded two recent decor videos and I still have more to film and upload.  Once all my videos are up, I will make a post which will include all of the most recent room decor videos.  I say recent because I have a lot of older videos that involve room decor.  Which if you haven't seen you can watch my entire playlist here also posted a few previous DIY decor videos below.

Home Decor: Bedroom and Vanity Light

  I've always loved home decor, similar to fashion you are able to express your mood and play with different colors.  When I was little my dad built a giant bunk bed where I had my bed at the top and below I had a play area where I kept my toys and from then on I've always enjoyed decorating my room.  Some of you may have noticed the background of my new videos as well as a few pictures on my Instagram . About 2 months ago we (my boyfriend and I) redecorated my bed area.  My bedroom theme that I am going for is upscale, classy with a touch of contemporary.  We are still in the process of finishing my entire bedroom but for now this is what we have done.  I will be uploading a home decor video explaining further details.


P.S. from the patterned wall to the headboard, my boyfriend made it! (I was the one who came up with the design and did the painting, along with being his assistant through the entire process lol) BIG thanks to my boyfriend, he is such a handyman!  Without him my dream bedroom would not have happened!

Throw Pillows (Front pillow from Ross $12, back two pillows DIY)

If you are interested in creating your own headboard, I found a post by Orange Sugar 

Paint (lowes, when I remember the price and colors I will post it) Stencil Paper (local craft store $5) Printed Image (found online)


White Roses (Walmart $3 for six), Glass Vase (Thrift Store $3)
The white roses are glued to a styrofoam (local craft store $5) ball.



Portfolio Vanity Bar (lowes $10-$15)
After an hour the bulbs get warm, so I chose to have the vanity light bar at the top of the mirror.
