Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Desired fabric
Scissors
Sewing machine
Pins
Measuring tape
Pillow form or polyfill
Upholstery needle and thread
Cardboard

Step 1

Make a pattern. When determining the size of your pillow, look around your home for a circular object that you could trace, such as a dinner plate or serving tray. Trace the circle on to a piece of cardboard.
Step 2

Cut fabric. Measure, trace and cut two pieces of fabric, allowing an extra 3/4 inch for a seam.
Step 3

Pin and sew. Place the fabric pieces with right sides together and pin for security. Sew around the pillow with a 3/4 inch seam. Leave an opening to allow you to stuff in the pillow form or filling.
Step 4

Stuff. Turn the pillow right sides out and stuff it with either a pillow form or polyfill. Hand stitch the gap closed.
Step 5

Place button. If desired, place a button in the center of the round pillow. Do this by hand stitching it with an upholstery needle.
