February 6th, 2007

A decorative pillow is a remarkable accessory! It will bring in the general scale of an interior the notes of coziness, and will dilute excessively monotonous palette with bright paints, and simply, it is useful on the direct purpose, giving you and your visitors the softness. Many firms specializing on design of interiors, offer pillows on a choice (perhaps, one of the best, is a hand made pillow, which is always better than a thing of a class purchased because it bears in itself human heat and care.
In this article we shall not speak about the pillows decorated by pictures, entirely embroidered dagger, a smooth surface or executed in carpet techniques, and we shall consider more creative and, at the same time, less labor-consuming variants.
Feel the artist!
The simplest variant for the person, not especially loving to sew, is to ornament pillows with paints on a fabric or ordinary acryl. Even if you are not able to draw at all, a little bright sparks on a fabric are possible to be given out safely for a masterpiece of impressionism. Dare, to spite of the settled stereotypes, that some colors are not combined basically! Absolutely all colors, simply this or that disharmonious chord, can be combined and it will emphasize your individuality. You will add grandiosity to pillows, if you draw some curves of a gold contour for batik or spangles for a fabric on them.
Infantile charm
Perhaps, you remember, how in the childhood you studied to sew buttons. Why to not recollect this and to not sew the pillow’s cover with the diversified buttons? It is possible to design patterns from them, and it is possible to scatter the disorder simply on a pillow. You can also represent infantile florets à la children’s figure on a cloth - stalks and leaves will be executed by a green mouline thread at the back needle seam, and multi-colored buttons will become petals.
The sky full of stars
It is possible to give some mystics to the pillow, having arranged a set of fine spangles on a black satiny or velvet background. However, we advise you to avoid symmetry, in fact the more randomly stars will lie down on a fabric, the more they will remind the present star sky.
Pillow, as a frog
 It is possible to give a charm to a pillow, having sewn eyes and a nose for soft toys (these details are on sale in any specialized shop) to it. And if you will also decorate a pillow with ears and a tail of artificial fur, and on each side from a will embroider moustaches near the nose with contrast threads, there will be no limit to delights of fans of a children’s spontaneity. By the way, similar pillows will approach for a nursery.
We have told only about several ways of pillows decor, all the others you, having inspired, can invent. And if you constrain the imagination within the limits of own feeling of fine, your creations will become a magnificent ornament of the house.
