Greek Key Pillow

 

Easy Accent for Boring Pillows

 

 

 

In order to spruce up the now blank sofa, I thought the euro pillows needed a little something.  So I Googled up some pillows, liked the Greek Key trim, and found some very detailed tutorials. I am not a fan of detailed, but in this case you really don't have a choice.  Creating this design is easy, but time consuming (and I have none of that to spare). I ended up following a design tutorial I found on Pinterest here. 

 

 

Now, this would've been so much easier if the pillows were not stuffed and sewn shut.  Why would something be easy for me?  So I did what I do best, and hot glued the ribbon onto each of the pillows. Yes, I tried fabric glue, it isn't as good, I'm serious.

 

I used navy grosgrain ribbon, from the craft store, and following the tutorial, I measured each pillow and calculated how far from the edge I wanted the design to start, then divided it up according to the tutorial.  My three pillows were slightly different sizes, so I had to adjust them.  Again, much easier if planned in advance.

Here's the tutorial on my laptop!
