Shageriffic, fringetastic lumbar pillow DIY

I was feeling crafty today and so I made this pillow from stuff I had lying around the house. I think it looks pretty shagtastic. Here’s what I used:

Fringe Trim (find similar fringe here)
Ikea Ursula linen pillow case (I cut it in half to make two lumbar pillows).
Dye (Rit Denim color shown above)

After dying the fringe, I pinned down three pairs of fringe trim, fringe facing out. I then used a whip stitch to sew the fringe onto the pillowcase. After all six strips were sewn on, I turned the case inside out and sewed it shut on three sides. I left the existing strings and opening from the old pillow in tact, and after inserting a pillow, I tied it shut.  The whole project took me about an hour (not including the time for the fringe trim to dry) and I just love how they came out. I dyed the ones pictured above digitally, but I think a couch (or bed) with a bunch of these in different colorways as shown above would look amazing. I think they’d add a lot of texture and boho goodness to a space, yes? Also, they somehow look very, very seventies which makes me very, very happy.

It would also be fun to dye the pillow case a different color. I may do that on my next one. Like maybe a fuchsia case with orange fringe? That would be hot.
