DIY: 10 Minute Geometric Pillow Covers

A while ago, I shared my go-to method for creating new pillow covers. This time around, I’m taking it up a notch and showing you how to create this simple geometric design using the same technique!

If you need to spice up your decor, pillows can make a world of difference. Sometimes you don’t want to dish out $50-$60 on brand new pillows, and this alternative is the next best thing. It’s cheap, fast, and makes a huge impact!

If you’re not skilled at sewing, don’t stress. This project is literally so easy. You don’t even need a sewing machine if you don’t have one… you can use a needle and thread instead.

This is a great project for beginners as well and should help you feel a little more confident with making your own creations.

How to make pillow covers

Ready to try it? This video below is for the geometric design, which combines two coordinating fabrics on the front portion.

For the basic, step-by-step photo tutorial, check out my previous post 5 Minute Pillow Covers.

There is always room for a new pillow, so grab some fabric and follow along! Click play below or click here to view on YouTube and give it a big ol’ thumbs up if you want to see more projects like this.

I get my pillow forms from Walmart usually. They only cost about $5 there. You can also recover an existing pillow!

Try swapping your pillow covers seasonally or for holidays like Christmas. You can even try using a variety of fabric options, like old t-shirts, tablecloths, dish towels with fun designs on them, or pretty bed sheets!

I hope you guys liked this video tutorial. I’m having fun doing them and would love your thoughts!
