Hello there!
Today I am sharing an upcycle a pillow and make it new again.
These stinkin pillows were outside on the rockers all winter long.
They were sorta yucky and faded now.
I wanted to upcycle what I have instead of going out and buying new again.
So of course, my recent trip to hobby lobby
warranted a stop in the fabric section.
Fabric was on sale, so I scored it for pretty cheap.
I only bought a yard and half .
I simply cut two squares
hot glued three ends
stuffed the old faded pillow inside and hot glued it shut.
You know I love all things NO sew projects and you can check more of those out as well.
added this red ruffled trim.
Nothing says hello Like a roo!
Adds a little whimsy too.
And that is how you make a pillow 1, 2,3
the rockers were originally black and I painted them a few years ago.
Never again will I hand paint rocking chairs…
ugh!
I’ll show you around the rest while you are here.
Birdhouse gifted to me a few years back by my husband.
As you can see the birds really do like it.
Porch painted Haint Blue in the Fall.
It’s a Southern thing and you can read all about the Southern Haint blue porch tradition.
Painted urns with AC chalk paint Old white
I bought some new wall art and a lantern at Hobby lobby about a month ago.
Everything was 50% off day and you can’t beat that day!
As you can see our neighborhood is well established with trees.
It is actually an older neighborhood, with only a few newer built homes here.
There is a mix of homes, from Lake homes, golf course, and woods.
We of course have the woods.
I’ll show you around back next time.

June 30 at 11:24 amLove that blue ceiling. Would it be OK for a Yankee like me to do that?!!
Debbie says
June 30 at 1:38 pmI would never have thought of glueing pillow covers, but what an easy project! And they turned out beautiful…of course because of the roo. Your porch is so beautiful, I can wait to see the back with the woods in the background!

June 30 at 3:30 pmI’ve been sitting here with fabric to recover my pillows for about two months now, because I was dreading getting out the sewing machine. It’s always a fight to get the bobbin wound and all that stuff. Love this idea!!! Love that lantern too.

June 30 at 5:07 pmI love that fabric!! I was just at Hobby Lobby on Friday but was in a semi hurry so didn’t even look at fabric. I think you and I probably got our last name letters at the same place 🙂 Love it all!!

June 30 at 5:57 pmYour pillows look terrific! I’m crazy about roosters. Your porch is so pretty. I agree, painting porch rockers by hand is no fun as those slats are killers. Next time I’ll probably be using spray paint.
Carol says
June 30 at 7:36 pmThat is such cute “roo” fabric, Debbie, and I really like the cute red trim! I’m constantly upcycling pillows around here, but I don’t think I have ever glued a pillow together. I’m not criticizing, I’m chuckling because that seems to be the trend today. It would certainly have saved me some precious time back in the day, if I had known about or actually had a glue gun! Now, however, I’m too set in my ways to change and can probably stitch a pillow together faster than you can hot glue one!
Your porch is just beautiful, and I love the color of the ceiling!

July 1 at 2:12 pmGreat idea and so so easy too! Something that even I can do … I love that!!!
Amh says
July 1 at 5:36 pmI’m loving your porch, Debbie! I would never attempt to sew anything, but I would definitely make these no-sew pillows! I never would have thought to hot glue them. You can tell I’m not really good at DIY stuff! Thanks for the insight.
