How to Make Sofa Pillows Without Sewing

You don't need to know how to sew to make sofa throw pillows with pizazz. You can spruce up even the dowdiest old pillows in just a few minutes. All it takes is a few things you can purchase at your local discount department store for just pennies. It's so easy, you'll find yourself making new pillows for every season.

Things You'll Need

• Iron
• Fusible webbing
• Cloth table napkins or vintage handkerchiefs
• Old sofa pillows that need recovering

Instructions

1. Cut fusible webbing in pieces the same size as the napkins you are using for the front and back of the pillow. The napkins must be a little larger than the old pillows.

2. Place the webbing against the wrong side or inside of the fabric napkin. Following directions on the webbing's package, fuse the two layers to one side of the old pillow using the iron.

3. Repeat for the pillow's other side.

4. Make certain all the pillow's edges are fused together neatly. Use more webbing if necessary to fuse the edges. Trim away any excess webbing when you are finished.

Tips & Warnings

• Make certain you follow the directions for the fusible webbing regarding the types of fabric to use and the iron temperature.
