Holiday Pillow Ideas: Gold Sequins JOY Pillow
I have more holiday fun for you today.
In the form of something shimmery.
If you’re looking for holiday pillow ideas then today’s your day.
And because it’s no secret that I love shimmery things especially in Christmas decor, I made a pillow with gold sequins.
Here’s a quick step by step on how I made this festive “JOY” pillow. It’s nothing fancy folks so if you have questions let me know.
Festive “JOY” Sequins Pillow
Supplies: cloth napkins (approximately 20×20), 20×20 pillow form, sewing machine, thread, 3/4 yard of gold sequins, hot glue gun, hot glue, safety pins.
Then, placing the wrong sides together, pin three sides of the napkins together and sew edges with a 1/2 inch seam. This will leave one side completely open for stuffing your pillow.
So here’s the deal: I used safety pins to discretely close the edge. Since this is a holiday pillow and only gets used about a month out of the year I wanted one edge open so I could easily remove the pillow form. If this doesn’t appeal to you, you can do the envelope pillow cover method instead and still have a removable cover, you just will have to grab and cut fabric instead of using cloth napkins.
I love the finished look. You can’t even tell it’s a cheater pillow cover 😉

I love decorative pillows, especially if they scream “Christmas” and “I am glittery and gold, you must make me!” Therefore, I think I must make this. Very cute!
LOVE it – safety pins. That is totally something I would do!! So much easier. I love your pillow, pinning!!
What a fun pillow! Love how you used the gold sequins! Beautiful! 🙂
