DIY All Weather Pillows

By 25 Comments




My project today is  a pair of DIY All Weather Pillows.  It was super easy and adds so much color to my outside sitting area.

  My husband made me a beautiful pergola swing which I LOVE!!!  You can see it here   I wanted some fun pillows for it.  I wanted some that if they got wet, wouldn’t take forever to dry.  I thought I’d try a vinyl table cloth after I saw a really fun one at Walmart.   

To begin gather your supplies:
Note:  I first did this project with a glue gun, but it doesn’t work well  with the vinyl.  So take out the glue gun and add a sewing machine.


I spread the tablecloth out and laid my pillow out to measure where to cut.  I then cut what I needed.  The next step is to sew up the sides and slide the pillow form in.  I am including a couple good tutorials on how to make it an envelope pillow.Here is a video on how to make an envelope pillow.  Or here is a blog that shares a good tutorial.  

These both took less than 30 min. to make and I have some fun pillows for my new swing.

You can see directions to make the outdoor bunting here:
