Swag no more!

I purchased 5 custom made and unused swags at a garage sale for only $5 total! I knew that I could do something fun with them. This is one of the swags. See the pretty tassel trim? And the deep red fabric is very nice too.

I realized that they would make awesome pillows. It took a bit more than one swags worth of tassel trim to make an 18 inch square pillow. Which means that I was able to make four pillows out of the 5 swags with material left over for additional projects.

These look so good on my sofa. I love making pillows and I switch them out several times throughout the year, so these red one are perfect for the holidays.

And combined with my Holly Jolly Christmas pillow, they coordinate perfectly together! The tutorial for this pillow can be found HERE.

A very expensive looking, inexpensive project. The best kind, don't you think?
