Decorating a kids bedroom is one of the most fun you will ever have. Our kids have wide interests and they don’t always quite know exactly what they love the most. So when you ask them what their favorite color is they usually come back with two or three different ones. This makes it easy for you to have some fun and create a unique bedroom design.
One of the best ways to add color to the bedroom is to create for them a shaggy pillow. These are just like the rug except the material is often thicker. These are easy for you and your kids to make together as a fun project.
First you need to choose what color scheme to use. Take your child with you to a fabric store and look at the different materials. Make sure to check out the various textures and patterns. See what they like the best and try to stick with that. Remember you want it to be fun!
Cut the strips of fabric a half an inch wide and three inches long. Organize the materials by placing everything you cut into their own color piles.
Take out seven strips of fabric of various colors. Now lay down two perpendicular strips next to each other to form a cross.
Place two more strips diagonally to create another cross design. Overlap three more pieces directly on top of the other ones that you have put down. Leave the bottom dtrip with only one layer.
The piece on the bottom will be the first strip that you put down. Make sure to cross and tied it over to make a pom pom of all seven of the strips.
Now tie the bottom fabric piece of all the seven strips of fabric to make a pom pom. Repeat all of these steps until you have made the pillow into the size you want it to be. There should be one pom pom per inch of the pillow.
Take each of the pom poms and sew them into the fabric surrounding the pillow. Sew them securely so that they will not fall off. When they are on you can sew the back of the pillow closed.
