So, you are wandering around a yard sale or thrift store, or past a clearance shelf at a box store, and you see a beautiful throw pillow. And it’s CHEAP. Cheaper than what you’d pay for that beautiful fabric it’s made of if you were to head to the craft store to buy it. But it doesn’t really match your decor. Or maybe you just don’t need yet another throw pillow (goodness knows that is my husband’s answer). Next time this happens, don’t walk away – instead, buy it and turn it into a cute tote bag like this one from Amber at Damask Love. Brilliant! [how to make a throw pillow tote bag]
Project estimate:
- Throw pillow, $1 and up
- Rope, on hand or $1 and up
- Embroidery floss, on hand or $1 and up
- Large eyelets or grommets, about $3 and up
- Fabric glue, on hand or $1 and up
- Hot glue, on hand
Total: about $4 and up

What a clever idea, esp for those of us who have limited sewing skills! A nice way to reuse the print on a pillow for something else.
