Recently at a thrift store, I found three old cotton crochet pillow covers! I decided to do a simple re-do on them...and now they have a whimsical look!
On this pillow, I wrapped a piece of upholstery webbing and pinned on a vintage brooch...
On the third pillow, I threaded a black grosgrain ribbon through a vintage buckle and tied the ribbon around the pillow. For fun, I glued an old watch face onto the buckle!
Very simple embellishments, but I love how they turned out! I am doing some re-decorating in our bedroom, and two of the pillows will be part of that. I'll be sharing the changes soon!
Until next time...

What a very creative way to modernize crocheted pillows! If the watch worked, you could take a cat nap and check the time without even getting up. :@

ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the crochet pillows. I have many old crochet pieces that I try to use, or reuse in different ways and your ideas give me some inspiration. I love the use of the old buckle.
ReplyDeleteI would have passed those old pillow covers right by and you made them look so cute. You're so smart!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! These pillows really caught my eye. I love what you've done with them!

Hey girlie! I adore what you did with your pillows! (especially the brooch and watch!) Such cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the photo cube Amy did on my blog. I haven't posted anything since then cause my power cord on my computer fried and my computer was dead in the water. :( I just got a new cord today, so hopefully I can do a post tomorrow. :)

You brought the pillows to life, Linda! The little changes make each one stand out and shine. Can't wait to see what you do in your bedroom. Mine is in sad shape and I really need to spruce it up. Maybe this summer. I haven't done a thing to it since I moved in 1-1/2 yrs ago. It's time.
