One thing I've been thinking about in redoing my room is how to make it look cute without spending a lot of money. The desk was a big purchase already, and I know I have to get paint, too. So for accessories, I decided to make most of my new decorations. So for the last two nights, I've been working on this pillow! It was my first one ever and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Everything I used was scrap. I found the old material in a poor abandoned box of fabric in the basement, and the buttons were a collection we gathered over the years from old pieces of clothes, spares that came with new items, and a few bought just for fun.
I picked all the neutral colors since my room will be neutral. Basically I cut the white fabric into two squares, laid out the buttons where I wanted them and secured each with a dot of fabric glue. The grey roses were made from a tutorial I found online that suggested simply twisting scraps of old fabric round and round until a rose shape forms. Then I sewed each button and the roses for extra security and sewed it and stuffed it! Pretty easy! But it did take me a long time since this was a first for me. Pretty cool, huh?
