How to make a bandana pillow

A pretty throw pillow can help make your bed or your couch look extra-comfy, but sometimes it can be hard to find one that matches your decor. What's the solution? To make one yourself, of course, so you can pick out patterns and colors that complement the space.
This project simply requires you to add bandana pieces to a pre-existing pillow cover, so it's easy enough even for beginner sewers. Learn how to create this sweet pillow by watching the video tutorial and reading the instructions.
