I could spend hours in Anthropologie and I would be lying if I said I haven’t. I like to wander around and pretend it’s my house and that all the customers are my friends who came over for an incredible dinner party. There is just something about that environment that makes the depths of my soul happy. I always want to bring a part of that home with me, but usually, my wallet stops me and tells me to DIY it. So that is what I do. This DIY Boho Pillow is inspired by Anthropologie but made out of a skirt from the thrift store.
Its cute but the big bonus is that it only cost a few dollars to make. Like $4 total. Isn’t that crazy?! Now I know that you want to make your own!
SEW Cute: DIY Boho Pillow Tutorial
Supplies:
boho pattern skirt
sewing machine
scissors
seam ripper
stuffing
needle and thread
lace fringe if the skirt doesn’t have any
Instructions:
Using the seam ripper, carefully remove the fringe from the bottom of the skirt.
Lay your skirt so that one of the side hems is facing towards you. Then cut up the side so that it makes a 90-degree angle with the side of the skirt. Do the same thing to the other side so that you have 2 rectangles of fabric that are sewn on the 2 short sides.
Flip the fabric inside out and sew the two sides together with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Be sure to leave a few inches unsewn.
Step Four: Using the hole that you left unsewn, flip the fabric right side out.
Stuff your pillow with stuffing. I like my pillows really full so I used a lot, but you can play around with however much you prefer.
Fold the raw ends of the small hole under and sew it closed.
Add your fringe along the two short sides. Handsewing is probably the best bet here because the lace is delicate.
I love this little DIY boho pillow in all of its boho and fringy glory. It is just so perfect and totally my style. It also provides the perfect amount of back support without taking up too much room on your chair. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

I know we all have that one tote bag collecting dust in the back of our closet that we bought thinking it would match everything and have years of use. Well, today you can give new life to that plain old tote bag with this easy fashion DIY. This project for a DIY Stitched Leather Tote Bag will save that bag and show your personality and style! With a simple template and some embroidery thread, you can customize your own perfect tote bag in minutes. Making personalized items like this one is a great way to get away with cute, crafty gifts for your friends too! Matching bags for your besties? Perfect!
Step One: Cut out the letters from the printable and arrange them on the front side of the tote bag. You may want to use some removable adhesive to keep them attached during the stitching process.
Step Two: Thread the large needle with the first color of embroidery floss. Pick a place to start on the W and do your first stitch from the inside of the bag to the outside. I chose to use the longest possible stitches that still maintained the shape of the letter. You could also do a bunch of short stitches- it is up to you!
Step Three: Continue stitching around each letter using a different color embroidery floss for each one. Be sure to start and end with knots on the inside of the bag.
Step Four: Remove the paper letter cutouts to reveal your finished design.
Step Five: Cut any excess embroidery floss off from inside the bag.
And you’re done! See how easy that was. We totally don’t blame you if you end up making 5 more of these ASAP. Just write out your words in a doc and print them out or find good examples online! It’s so easy.
