A little red on the bed for the holidays

It didn't take much to add a little holiday to my white bedroom.  The wreath came from my sister, the quilt was purchased years ago and the pillow is a long scarf with a rolled bed pillow inside. Big girl grand thinks it looks like a roll of candy.  I secured the bed pillow in a roll using masking tape! Knots on the end of the scarf is all that holds it together.

Pillow make overs with scarves

I started with good intentions to clean out the master bedroom closet when I got distracted by a stash of old scarves.  I recently went very white in my master bedroom and have been thinking how to add some add color.  I started tying the scarves onto some pillows and feel very good about how they turned out and how I’m reusing the scarves.  Here’s a pictorial DIY showing you how I did it using pillows and scarves I already had.

The square scarves worked really well on a square pillow. Tie opposite corners with a square knot and in a flash its done!

 

This one is over a bed pillow in a white sham.

Here is a short scarf tied onto a rust color couch pillow.

 

This long scarf with fringe was a tiny bit more challenging. I ended up spreading out the ends and using safety pins to keep them in place. 

I bet you have some pillow dressing tricks too.  Please share!
