One of life's simplest pleasures is getting comfy and settling in to read a good book or watch a favorite show. Cozy pillows are a must-have item to get the most from your relaxation, but finding the perfect pillow to suit both your style and your budget can be challenging.
Have no worries! You can create your very own cozy pillow from soft fleece in any color or pattern you prefer — with absolutely no sewing required! This no-sew DIY pillow cover is so simple (and affordable!) to make that you can change up your cover every season or anytime you're ready for a change.

Things You'll Need
Two 18 x 18-in. pieces of fleece
16 x 16-in. pillow form
How do you sew fabric together without sewing?
With this project, you won't need to sew at all! You'll simply close the pillow by threading strips of fleece together. Not only is it easy but it also provides a pretty braided look!
1. Cut the corners
Place both pieces of fleece together with the wrong sides facing and the edges matching. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut 2-inch squares out of each corner.
2. Cut strips
Cut through both layers and cut 1-inch x 2-inch strips on all four sides.
3. Snip the center of the strips
Fold over each strip and snip a small hole in the center.
4. Add the pillow form
Place the pillow form between the fleece.
5. Thread the strips
Start in the center of one of the sides and thread the top strip of fleece through the bottom strip of fleece. Thread the next bottom strip of fleece up through that top strip and then thread the top strip of fleece through the bottom strip. Repeat these steps, working from right to left, until you get all the way around the pillow.
6. Knot the last strip
When you get all the way around the pillow, you'll have one strip left. Cut that in half lengthwise and tie it to the strip next to it to form a knot.
That's all! Now, it's time to grab a good book and snuggle in!
