Adding Glam to your Pillows for the Holidays

  Who has room to store a bunch of Christmas pillows...I know that I don't.      So,  I wanted to share how I turn my everyday pillows into holiday pillows by just adding a little "glam"

I started  with a ruffled pillow .    Any pillow will work....square,  plain, whatever you have....

My pillow was not expensive....12.99 at Burlington.   I have also seen similar pillows at Ross and Home Goods

I tied a 4" wide piece of lace ....about 4 yards long around my pillow.......

Make a bow......

Pick up your ribbon tails and tie another bow....right on top of the first bow     Pick up you ribbon tails and tie a third bow....right on top of the second bow.   You're done!  
   Tip.....wired ribbon does not work well....use very soft lace or satin or even cotton.

Attach a pretty brooch to the last knot....

All done in less that 10 minutes....or as fast as you can tie three bows and pin on a brooch....lol!
These big bows are pretty on a package or a wreath. or even on your babies head...have you seen some of those bows on these cute babies!   They need a neck brace just to hold their little head up...lol!

I did my tutorial in the kitchen because it's still dark outside  (6:00 am)  and the lighting is good in here.    I'm also working on fresh greenery and poinsettia bouquets today.

Don't have time to tie three bows.......just pin a pretty Santa head on your pillow!    

I think I'm gong to put these pillows on the bed in the master bedroom when I add a few Christmas touches in there.    Not today though......I have a sick 8 year old grand daughter that just threw up in that bed!    That's what "real life" is here at our home....it's not always a pretty picture....lol!
