Spring is finally here and it's time to add a little pop of colour and sunshine to our spaces. To make this fun spring pillow all you need is a pillow cover and some pretty fabric.

This no-sew pillow can be made without needing any sewing skills or a machine. It’s a perfect way to use up some old fabric scraps (or even some vintage fabric) and turn them into something new.

I had this pillow cover from an old set that I never used but you can pick them up for only a few dollars at IKEA or on Amazon if you don’t have one at home.

With spring finally here, I thought it would be fun to add some bunnies to the pillow. Here is the pattern I used. You can adjust it when you print it to fit the size of pillow cover you are using.


Grab the free bunny pattern here...

With my pillow cover being rectangular, three bunnies fit well along its length.

I traced the pattern onto the back of each piece of fabric and then cut them out.

For my bunnies, I chose two similar fabrics that were the same colour but had different patterns. You can mix and match them however you like depending on what fabric you have on hand. This is a great time to have some fun and test out different patterns.

To add the bunnies to the pillow cover, I didn’t need to do any sewing. I grabbed my iron and some fusing tape and used it to stick them on.


Fusing tape is incredibly easy to use and rips apart so you can use only as much as you need. Place it between the fabric and the pillow cover and then iron it for a few seconds until it melts. Once the fusing tape melts the two fabrics will be stuck together and will not come apart.

How cute are these little guys?


This no-sew spring pillow was quick to make and I love that they add a pop of colour to my bedroom chair.

If you are looking for a fun project to add a touch of spring too, grab a pillow cover and some fabric scraps. The possibilities to create something unique with this DIY project are endless.
