Easy DIY Valentine Pillow Covers
These Valentine's Day pillow covers are just the cutest and they were so easy to make!
The big take-away from this project is to keep your eye out in the clearance section for upcoming holidays!
Michael's had 70% off Christmas and I grabbed the supplies I needed to create this fun project. Oh and did I mention there is no sewing involved?!!
Take a look...
So red napkins with the cutest pom poms... on clearance at Michaels for 70% off after Christmas.

Christmas!? All I could see was Valentine's Day 💖 at that point so I grabbed them. I already knew what I was going to make with this set of 4 cloth pom pom napkins.
Here are a few other supplies I used for this project:
- a set of 2 zippered velvet pillow covers 18"x18"
- a vinyl stencil (or any other stencil you might love)
- off white paint to match the velvet pillow covers
- fabric hot glue
I began by creating an XO stencil using my Cricut vinyl cutter. I have the small version called the Joy which is less expensive and does everything I need it to do.
If you don't own a vinyl cutter you can look on Etsy, many shops will create a stencil for you and they aren't too costly.
So I cut out the XO in both the Typewriter font and in a cursive font called Small Roundhand which are both free with the Cricut Design Studio App. I try to do free whenever I can.
I placed the stencil onto the center of the red napkin and used the off white color paint to stencil within the letters. I used painter's tape because the lettering was close to the edge.
I pulled off the vinyl and tape and hung up the napkins to dry.
I just love how crisp and clean the images came out!
When the paint dried I grabbed the 2 velvet pillow covers I bought on Amazon and used washable fabric hot glue to attach the napkin to the pillow cover around the edges.
This is the back, all that was left to do was to stuff a pillow form into the pillow cover and zip it up! I buy my pillow forms from IKEA, they are good quality and inexpensive.
These made the cutest Valentine's Day pillows and pillow covers make so much more sense than having 100 pillows to store for each holiday.

They also pair really well with the fuzzy grey pillows and buffalo check throw I have in my office.
The grey pillow in the center is another DIY no-sew pillow from Homeroad.
I'm usually not a bright red kinda girl but these pillows with their cute pom pom trim are just too cute to pass up.
