As an avid crafter, I have no shortage of craft ideas in my hopper to try next (hard to imagine life before Pinterest).
I have come to the realization that just because I treasure handmade, it doesn’t mean I have to make everything. My craft room is only so big!
I’m suggesting that, rather than DIY, let’s promote BIY (buy-it-yourself) once in awhile. Save yourself the time and shopping cart full of materials for one single project that – let’s be honest – may or may not ever get made, and support other crafters. It’s a win-win!
Today’s item is the pillow cover. Pillows are a great way to dress up a couch, chair, or bed. They’re also lots of fun to incorporate into holiday decorating!
Here are some amazing crafters that would love to share their handiwork with you:
Antlers are all the rage right now (love ’em!) and this deer pillow cover is a steal at under seventeen bucks over at ColorArtDecor!

Velvet is the order of the day with this rich peacock pillow cover at WhooplaArt. It’s sure to be the envy of all your guests!

Now, here’s a pillow that’s just my type! Check out the pillow covers at CarolinaMint. With over 300 covers to choose from, you’re sure to find something you love.

This would be the perfect addition to your favorite reading chair! Pick up this sassy cuddly square cover at VintageAffairStudio.

Up, up, and away! These pillow covers are flying off the shelf at Andrekart. I love the unique photography incorporated in each design.

It’s superheroes to the rescue with these amazing pillow covers from QingsShop

Still want to make one yourself? I found this tutorial on Lovesome’s blog. It has step-by-step instructions on how to sew one, including hemming how-tos.
