I love a good upcycle project, and today I am sharing a super easy one! Glitter and sequins seem to be all the rage this holiday season, and ever since I saw these gorgeous pillows in Mandi’s Epic Room Makeover I have been on the lookout for one. No luck finding it… but I DID find this awesome dress at Ross for $10. Score! Here’s a look at the before and after:
Pretty sweet, right? The skirt on the dress was completely lined and already sewn to the perfect width for an accent pillow. All I had to do was cut the top of the dress off, turn it inside out and sew up that side.
I had a $2 pillow in my stash from IKEA, and I just stuffed it in to make sure it filled out my new sequin dress/pillow… perfect fit. I closed it by hand-stitching the bottom edge.
I absolutely ADORE the shine and sparkle coming from this baby! It is the perfect holiday pillow, but I’ll be using it all year round 🙂
This turned out SO fabulously! I am seriously kicking myself for not buying its twin!
Looks awesome!
i think i saw that pillow just the other day at the homegoods in farmington, utah. in the new station park center. i don’t know if you are in utah, but i see a picture of the SLC temple on your wall, so i’m guessing there is a chance you are.
Get out of town right now! Holy glitter FABULOUS! I love this! Too cool for words..really ! Too cool!

I like it so much better as a pillow! It looks great.

AHHH!!! This is sooo awesome!! I love sequins and that pillow looks expensive-amazing how you can recreate anything when you put your mind to it. Great job, I will be on the lookout for clothing markdowns after seeing this!
What?! From a dress?? I am totally smitten and absolutely obsessed with this pillow. Love love love it times a million.

Your pillow turned out great – what a perfect dress for it too! I’ve got this linked to my DIY pillows post as well today, for inspiration!
amazing!! great use of an old dress!! xx
perfect!! love the idea of doing it with something i already own, instead of going and buying sequined fabric… though i do LOVE sequined fabric. 🙂

Great idea. Going to keep my eyes out for anything pre-sequined or maybe even velvet ?!? I don’t have a blog. Found you through Pinterest, of course. Will follow your board now. Thanks so much for sharing! j.
