I didn’t intend to, but I am dubbing this week Pillow Week!  Today I’m sharing the tutorial for how I made my ribbon trimmed outdoor pillows for the back patio, and later this week I’ve got another fun pillow project to share.
Ok, so here are the pillows I created for out on the back patio.

Do we likey??  They were super simple to create and were even no sew.  BOOM!
How to make your own:

STEP ONE: Lay your pillow out flat and cur your ribbon pieces to length.  I cut mine to the edge of the pillow before the flange started.  Then slightly melt the ends of the ribbon with a lighter to keep the ribbon from fraying.
STEP TWO:  Cut your iron-on tape the same length as your ribbon and iron on to the back of your ribbon according to the tape’s directions.  Use a ruler as a guide to place your ribbon and then iron it into place according to the tape’s directions.
STEP THREE: Continue the same steps for each length of tape.  
All done!
