Put a Bird on it! An Easy Way to Decorate a Throw Pillow
Before we get started, if you haven't seen the Portlandia 'Put a Bird on it' sketch, please feel free to watch it now. Portlandia is one of those shows that are totally dumb but I keep going back to for some reason. I can't tell you how many times I've quoted the Sacajawea sketch even though it's the most annoying thing in the world to watch.
If there's anything I love, it's super easy crafts that you can use to decorate your home. Today I'm going to show you how I put a bird on a throw pillow.
1. Get a plain throw pillow that you like. I bought two apple green pillows for my couch.
2. Draw or print out the shape you want and then cut it out. I wanted a bird on a branch, so I sketched it out on a piece of paper.
3. Pin the paper on felt and cut it out. Don't make the mistake I did, buy non-pilling felt!
4. Hand stitch around the edges of the design onto your pillow.
5. Done! See how easy that was?
