Fall in Love with Autumn

I love changing my decorative throw pillows from time to time. It’s because these are the only home decor that are easy to replace. With throw pillows, you can definitely alter the look and ambiance of your room without spending a lot of money.

In fact, if you know how to sew pillow covers, then your living room, patio, or even bedroom will never looks dull. You can always turn your house into a stylish and inviting place. You can redecorate your house anytime you want, just like I do.

Yes, no kidding! I just get excited when it’s Labor Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even Fall. Seasons and holidays give me reasons to embellish my house.

My husband initially thought it’s crazy and laborious, but despite that, changing decorative throw pillows has now become a family tradition. Everyone in the family cooperates when I need to decorate our entire home for whatever occasion we would be celebrating.

And you know what, fall is our favorite time to redecorate. The kids love to incorporate Halloween themes and designs. My kids simply love dressing up in costumes and trick or treating!

Anyway, if you’re looking for fresh ideas to accent your home this fall and Halloween, check out the 15 decorative pillows below.

3. Cloth Napkin Fall Pillow

Cloth napkins make good materials for cheap decorative throw pillows. You might be able to find some really nice prints perfect for autumn.

Plain cloth napkins are equally great, especially if you add some artistic touches. This material is also less expensive than buying a yard of fabric.

We would need a basic throw pillow cover in a solid color for this fall leaf pillow. Then, cut out a felt leaf and sew it on the throw pillow cover. We will straight stitch this on the throw pillow cover. Remember to leave a 1/2 inch seam allowance.
