Easy Homemade Pillows for Your Wooden Storage Boxes
by Katreena Burkett Paper Bird PackagingAn excellent
way to pack away your outside accessories in a stylish and understated manner
is wooden storage boxes. These Custom pillow boxes can also be used as
benches, creating extra seating in your backyard. An easy way to increase the
comfort and attractiveness of your benches is by creating unique, customized
pillows.
The cushion
is one of the easiest things to sew, and even the most inexperienced seamstress
can make one without effort. With a small number of materials and minimal time,
you can decorate your wooden storage boxes without difficulty.
It is
essential to use a fabric that dries quickly and can hold up against the
weather. Ehow.com suggests you use a vinyl material, or to make a more cost-effective
pillow, you can simply use a vinyl tablecloth. You can also choose polyester or
acrylic cloths, depending on how stiff you want your cushion to be.
The first
step in making your cushion is measuring your wooden storage box in order to
determine how large of a cushion you need to make. Next, add one inch and the
depth of the pillow to the measurement. Cautiously cut two pieces of your
material into pieces of this size.
Place the two
pieces of fabric together with their right sides facing each other. Pin along
the sides of the material, and start sewing. Finish three sides and begin
sewing the fourth side, leaving a gap big enough through which to stuff the
pillow.
The next step
in the decorative pillow, the creation process is filling it. There are several filling
options from which you can choose to suit the needs of your outdoor storage
boxes.
For a softer
pillow, you can use foam. Foam is easily cut into whatever size you want your
cushion to be, and you can purchase outdoor foam which dries quickly. Unfortunately,
foam is a less resilient filling than other options.
You also can
choose to stuff the pillow with a poly fiberfill. This filling allows for
better air circulation, which permits the pillow to dry faster. You can choose
the firmness of your pillow by how much of this fiber you use.
Flip the
pillow inside-out so that the right sides of the cloth are both facing out.
Stuff your pillow to the desired thickness and firmness with the filling of
your choosing. If you have old pillows you want to get rid of, you can recycle
the padding by using it in your new cushions.
After filling
the pillow, finish by stitching by hand the opening. Be careful to use even,
tight stitches so that the pillow does not tear apart. Also, since you are
sewing on the outside of the cushion, it is important that they look neat and
orderly.
Creating unique pillows for your wooden storage boxes requires only that you follow these simple steps. You can transform your outdoor storage from plain to a customized expression of your style by merely adding these pillows. Even the novice at sewing can make these pillows and decorate their backyard in style.
