Here is a pillow that requires no sewing. Pick out some great fabric. Place the pillow on the fabric and test to see if it will complete cover your existing pillow with some leftovers. Now, cut a perfect square. Gather the fabric up and around until you can not see the old pillow. Use a heavy rubber band or color-coordinated hair rubber band. Make it look as if you were making a ponytail. Wrap a tassel around the leftover material, tucking it under, so you have a knot-like look on top.
