6 Ways to Punch Up Plain Pillows

 

Add Tiny Trims

Add shimmer to a pretty pillow, such as a brown rectangular one with a mod pattern, by gluing sparkly beads to its starburst design and adding a button or large sequin to accent the center of each burst.

To make the burst:

-- String beads on thread and glue in place, following the design on the purchased pillow.

More embellishing ideas:

-- Consider adding beads to the centers of flowers on a floral pillow or edging stripes with sequins.

-- Colorful embroidery floss adds style to a solid-color brown pillow.

-- Use quilter's chalk to draw a simple pattern, and then backstitch over the design.
