You could make them out of lightweight canvas (you may even be able to buy them at Michaels), and then paint them with acrylics. Sew three sides, and glue velcro on the fourth side, so you can remove them and change them when you get the urge. Slip in a foam pillow form and you are done!</p> <p>You could also just take large squares of a material that coordinates with your couch cover, and wrap it around your old pillows. make sure your cloth is large enough. Then put the old pillow on top of the cloth diagonally, so you can fold over the two corners of the cloth from the left and right. Bring the two corners at top and bottom together and tie a big knot. Tuck the ends underneath.</p> pillow cases are really easy to sew, and they can be a great canvas for your art.
