Dollar Tree Pillows & Reminder


I don't know about you but I consider the dollar tree... the $50.00 store. 

I went in the other day for 1 thing and $37.00 later I was broke! :)
BUT
I had so wanted to make new pillows for our bed... the only thing is I cannot sew to save my life!

I happened to walk into the aisle with all the kitchen~y sort of stuff and came across these 
 
To go with ... our bed!

 
I love the look of an unmade ~ disheveled and  cozy bed
You can kind of see the curtains (that still need to be moved to the width of the bed) actually almost match the pillow covers
I got three that were shiny brownish and three that are tone on tone brownish
I took these gold pillows and some green pillows that I had lying around and covered them... 

These covers are so nice because they have a zipper!!
 
I think they are nice and are what I wanted... and for $6.00 for all of them... I could not go wrong!
I am thinking of adding pieces of the leftover curtain hem to sort of wrap around with Velcro... I can't sew so I will do something!
I will show you all that soon

  3. Who would have thought you could find pillow covers at dollar tree! That's awesome. You could totally take some cute fabric or wide ribbon and wrap it around and tie it or whatever. Looks great so far! I just got a duvet cover and so I am excited to start putting together the new look for my drab bed.
