  Step 1

  First take a rule and marker and draw two 21”x 21” squares. Then draw a 20” x 20” square inside each of the squares.
  Cut along the 21” x 21” squares. Put them on top of each other so the velvet is inside and the rough fabric is outside.

  Step 2

  Sew on the marker line (the 20 “x 20” (large size) or 12" x 12" (small size) square you drew). To sew, you can either use a sewing machine or by hand, take a long piece of thread (the same color of the fabric) and string it through a needle. Tie the end. Weave in and out of the fabric with super close incisions (about 1 millimeter in length) until 4-5” of the thread remain. Then tie a knot as close to the fabric then repeat the step again until 3 sides are sewn and ¾ of the last side is sewn.
  Once you have sewn ¾ of the last side, flip the pillow inside out and stuff the pillow with polyester filling until it it fully stuffed to your choice.

  Step 3

  Then carefully sew the pillow together.

  Step 4

  Estimate in your mind where the location of you want your pearls to be sewn on the pillow. I did a 3x3 row (total 9 pearls) but of course you can be creative!

  Step 5

  Sew the pearls in by weaving in the pillow and through the pearl bead and weaving out so it’s like a circle. Once it’s tight enough, you can tie a knot cut the string and sew the rest of your pearls.

  Hope you enjoy!
