10 Minute Iron On Pillow Cover

I have a thing for pillows and a slight thing for bold prints. Only, it's not always easy to find the pillow covers I want in the pillow sizes I need. I will say that I hate sewing pillow covers. I guess I'm not very good at measuring {or sewing for that matter} because the pillows never turn out the way I had envisioned. Plus, I just don't have the time to sew pillow covers as frequently as I like to switch out my covers. 

My mom is a crafty genius and came up with a super easy. no sewing way for me to switch out my pillow covers without having to fold or tie the fabric on. Even though I like the look of a pinned or tied on pillow cover, my kids would destroy that within minutes; and with my OCD tendencies, I really don't want to keep fixing the pillow covers. These no sew, iron on covers really look great, only taking 10 minutes to create. 

What you need:

• A pillow {I used the Gurli pillow from Ikea, but any pillow will do}
• A zippered pillow case 
• A piece of fabric measuring 1 inch longer than the pillowcase chosen, on each side
• Iron on adhesive hem tape {like this}
• An iron 

What you'll do:

• Measure your pillowcase, then measure your fabric so that each side length is 1 inch longer than the pillow case. In my case, my pillowcase is 20 inches long so my fabric lengths are 21 inches long.
• Take your fabric and fold over the one inch edges and iron down 
• Get your iron on adhesive tape and measure to match the length of the pillow case
• Stack up your pillowcase {bottom}, adhesive {middle} and fabric {top}, then iron. Make sure to apply iron on the fabric by pressing and holding for three seconds, then lifting and applying again
• Iron the next length, then the next and then the last
• Stuff your pillow in the pillowcase and place in a fabulous stop in your home {it's that easy!}

The best part about these covers is that once you want to change the cover, just peel off {no damage} and iron on a new piece of fabric! It's so simple and looks store bought. I dare you not to start recovering all your pillows.
