After yesterday's squeeker win...I finished up my no sew COLTS pillow. NO SEWING EXPERIENCE NEEDED Here is how I did it...
You only need a few supplies... 1 yard of COLTS flanel material, an 18" pillow form, and a pair of sizzors, and a small ruller.
First you need to cut two 25" squares of the material.
Next you will need to cut a 5" square out of each corner. (see picture below)
You will then take your ruller and measure 15 1" sections on each flap. After you have all 14 marks, you will then cut the fringe. 15 1" wide by 5" long pieces of fringe. (see picture below)
Put one side face down, lay the pillow form center on top, then lay other piece of material face up. Begin to tie the fring pieces in a knot (one side to the other side)..be careful, make sure you are using the right coresponding fringe pieces or your pillow will not come out quite right.
You can adjust the size of your fringe by cutting fewer, or more, pieces in each flap...but be sure to use the same number of fringe pieces on each side. I've also made one of these by using one side in solid blue, the other solid white. Or have one side with the COLTS print, and the other in a solid. Just have fun with it. The possabilities are endless.
There is a picture of my finished pillow in the homemade COLTS photo album.
