West Elm Inspired Pillow

Hi, Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week so far! It has been a very busy couple of weeks for us as we just moved from New Jersey to Maryland a couple of days ago! I've been busy unpacking and setting up our new home, and although there are still lots of unopened boxes left, everything is starting to come together and I love how our new home looks! I wanted to show you my new West Elm inspired throw pillow today! I love adding new throw pillows to our living room seating area and changing things up a little every once in a while because it just freshens the space up a little bit. I loved the West Elm pillow when I saw it, and decided to make my own version! I love the way the gold sequins sparkle against the natural looking fabric. I just made a simple envelope pillow and hand sewed the gold sequins onto it. Here's my new throw pillow:



All you need for this project is some natural looking fabric (you could use anything from drop cloth fabric to burlap) and some gold sequins. I made a simple envelope pillow using my sewing machine, and then hand sewed the sequins on individually. It took some time to sew all the sequins on, but to me it's one of those easy, fun, mindless things that you can just do while watching a movie or your favorite show. I already had all the supplies for this project at home, but if you were to go out and buy them, it would definitely be an under-$10-project!

Happy Crafting, Everyone! Have a great week!
