Let's Talk Fabric: DIY Knot Pillow

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Fabric, our Youtube series for DIY home decor projects. Today we want to share with you, a very simple way to make a creative pillow. A knot pillow consists of making a tube of fabric, stuffing it with poly-fil, sewing the end and mold it till it becomes knotted. Without further ado, see for yourself the step by step tutorial!

For this project, we played around with our knits! This type of fabric is stretchy making it more malleable for this type of pillow making. The fabrics used are part of different collections: The stripes you see featured came from our Striped Knit Collection which came out this month! The red pillow is from our Knit Solids Collection called, Saffron and the grey is Graphite.

 

  

This pillow is a fun and easy way of filling up an empty couch or chair- or maybe for that one person you still have to give a present to. Let me know what you think of this project in the comment section and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch more videos like this one :) 

 

Decor away...
