I made these Matisse pillows inspired by his beautiful paper cut artwork so that I could have art on my sofa and not just on my walls. I love how colorful they are!

Heavy white cotton fabric Cotton broadcloth in different colors E-6000 Stitchless Iron On Glue Pillow stuffing Iron Sewing machine Scissors Yarn Matisse inspiration
Lightly draw out the shapes on the colorful broadcloth fabric and then cut out Figure out the placement on your pillow fabric *I made my pillows 20" x 20" Carefully squeeze the E-6000 Stitchless glue around the edges of your cutouts
Iron the cutouts in place until the glue disappears Pin the back of the pillow over the ironed-on cutouts Using 1/2" seam allowance, stitch around the pillow and leave an 8" opening so that you can turn it right side out Clip the corners at an angle *Clipping the corners leaves less bulk in the corners when you turn it right side out
Watch the video tutorial here:
Stuff the pillow and stitch closed If you want to, create yarn tassels for the corners in different colors and stitch them on
