Rosy DIY Throw Pillow

Sprucing up your home for Valentine's Day doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. This Rosy DIY Throw Pillow is a quick way to add some romantic flair to your living room. While this tutorial on how to make a pillow involves sewing, you don't have to stitch each of the small roses onto the pillow by hand. Glue a rhinestone to the center of each rose for a sparkly accent. Learn how to make a pillow and celebrate the season at the same time, and get ready to cuddle in style this February.
