How To Make A Pillow Band Wrap by Nancy Zieman

You can easily change your home décor with a little fabric and a great embroidery design with this pillow wrap project. Embroider a seasonal motif on fabric or choose an elegant fabric design to complement your décor. Then, follow these simple directions to create a pillow wrap, or two! We’ve made this pillow wrap two-sided, which will save time, fabric, and add a splash to the family room all year ’round.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Create Pillow

  • Use the quilted fabric and hook & loop tape to create the pillow cover.
