Very tedious work, but worth the effort! Made of ribbons, fusible lightweight interfacing, turquoise cotton fabric, thread and love. :)

I cut the interfacing to the size of the pillow.
-
I laid out the strips longways, and then wove a couple going the other way.
-
Then I would take a wet washcloth and press the few strips to make them stick.
-
Weave a few, press.
-
When you use interfacing you have to iron it with something wet to make it stick. Anyway, When I got to the end I just sewed it to another piece of fabric to make a pillow case.
-
I left an opening in the other piece of fabric to stuff it--which I wouldn't recommend, I would just buy a pillow and cover it--and stuffed it!

BEAUTIFUL. Any chance of a very brief explanation? After you wove the ribbons, how did you hold them together as you sewed, and where did you sew? Sooooo pretty. I LOVE lime green.

This is really pretty, thanks for sharing and thanks for the explanation. Would it be okay if I added your explanation to the main body of the project and turned it in to a how-to?
