  Step 1

  When I saw this adorable cactus print vinyl tablecloth at Walmart for just over $3.00 I was sold and I knew immediately what I wanted to make with it!

  They had them in different sizes and all for the same price so I bought the largest one so I would have lots of this cute vinyl to play with!

• 

  Step 2

  I had two cheap pillow forms that I picked up at the thrift store. One was .69 cents and the other was $2.49.

• 

  Step 3

  To make a simple envelope style pillow cover, lay the pillow form on the fabric and folded the fabric over the pillow to determine how large to cut the piece.

  Leave about an inch or so on the sides for the seam allowance...

• 

  Step 4

  Overlap the fabric like so. You want it long enough to sew the hems and still have the envelope style closure with no gapping.

• 

  Step 5

  Hem each end of the fabric.

  Fold over once and then again to enclose the raw edge inside.

• 

  Step 6

  And then stitch.

• 

  Step 7

  I used a zig-zag stitch. I figured since this is vinyl a straight stitch would perforate the edge and make it more likely to tear off.

• 

  Step 8

  Then wrap the fabric around your pillow again, right sides down to determine how big your pillow cover will be. Just pull the pillow out one side and you are ready to stitch!

• 

  Step 9

  Stitch the sides (I used a zig-zag stitch again).

• 

  Step 10

  Gently turn it right side out.

• 

  Step 11

  And put your pillow inside... again... gently so you don't tear it!

• 

  Step 12

  And you have THE.MOST.ADORABLE outdoor pillows ever!!!
