Last week I shared the XO pillow I made using drop cloth and a clearance pillow I found at HomeGoods! It cost me less than $10 to make!

It did involve a sewing machine and some basic sewing skills, and I know not all of you can appreciate that! 😏 Believe me, I get it! So today I'm sharing how to create a very similar pillow, but it's absolutely no sew!

In fact. it's so easy to make you might be shocked!

How to Make an XO Pillow, the No-Sew Way

In full disclosure, I made my own pillow cover using 18" square napkins I found, but I'm not including that tutorial here. If you're interested, it's very similar to this tutorial where I made a pillow using place mats.

However, this tutorial is assuming that you already have a plain pillow or pillow cover to use.

Step 1: Trace template and cut out felt

cut out letters from felt

Easy peasy right? Just pin the template onto each piece of felt and cut out! It did take me a little trial and error to get the size just right for the paper template! So if you'd like to save yourself that step, leave me a comment below and I'll send you my template for free!

I used the same template for both the oblong drop cloth pillow and this one, so you can use either pillow cover!

Step 2: Glue felt to pillow cover

use fabric glue

Before you glue make sure you insert a piece of cardboard in between the two covers!

I used Aleene's Flexable Stretchable fabric glue because it's what I had on hand, but any fabric glue will work!

There's no need to pin the felt to the pillow cover. Lift up one half of the felt and apply a line of glue along the edges, then do the same with the other half!

And that's it friend! I told you it was simple! Easy, inexpensive and cute...that's my kind of craft!

The color of felt you choose and your pillow cover can lend itself to so many different styles and looks! I'd love to see what you do with this tutorial!
