From sewing, no-sew, image transfers, crochet, vinyl and more, there are endless ways to make your own throw pillow covers. One of our favourites is to simply use acrylic craft paint and “stamps” from nature to create custom, nature-inspired accessories for our couch.
Over on The Weathered Fox blog you can find our tutorial for a simple leaf-stamped technique to make custom outdoor pillow covers. You can really use any type of leaf that has an interesting shape for this DIY idea. We used lupine leaves in a few different sizes to get a cascading effect on the pillow. Head on over to The Weathered Fox for the full tutorial including video!
