Lately I'm obsessed with creating new throw pillow covers. With Valentine's day approaching, I decided to make some Valentine's pillows using another new (for me) style. Enter cloth napkins.

These pillow covers are each made with two napkins. You guys! These are so easy!

With just a few supplies and a small amount of time, you will be looking at a new set of pillow covers. This DIY is perfect for beginner sewers and crafters, or for anyone who wants to make a quick project.

I'm loving the fact that these pillow covers can be embellished for any holiday or season. I'm seeing some St. Patrick's Day pillow covers in the near future.

How to Make an Easy Pillow Cover

sewing together napkin to create pillow cover

Place two napkins on top of each other, with the wrong sides together. Sew along three of the edges. I used the decorative holes as a guide, which created a border for the pillow.

Cut strips of hook and loop fastener. Sew onto the inside of the open edge of the pillow.

I opted not to embellish my red pillow. But I did add cute little hearts to the white pillow. Here's what I did:

Begin by cutting out various sizes of hearts. I cut out 4 hearts of three different sizes, and then one larger heart for the middle.

Next pin the hearts to the pillow in the desired pattern.

With a running stitch, sew hearts to pillow. I used white embroidery thread.

Insert pillow and you're done!
