I was inspired to use the fabric from that old lamp I talked about on my previous DIY post to create a cushion suited for the Christmas home decor.

It is an easy project to make which doesn't require great sewing skills.
What you will need is:
- Sewing machine
- pillow insert (mine was 34cm square)
- 2 strips of pom pom trim the length of the pillow insert short sides
- fabric to cover the pillow case: for my pillow insert I had a rectangle of 34cm wide and enough fabric to wrap over the cushion plus about 16cm more (84cm in total) .

HOW TO :
- Press the fabric with an iron to get rid off any creases.
- Sew a hem of 1.5 cm on both short ends (if you prefer you can double up your hem by an extra 1.5cm): make a fold of 1.5cm and mark with your fingers, then fold over again 1.5 cm. Pin along and sew.
- Lay your fabric right side up facing you and lay the pom pom trims on the edges of the long sides of the rectangle at about 16 cm up from the corner of the fabric with the pompom balls facing inwards. At the 16cm mark where the pom pom trim starts fold the fabric right up to the edge of the pom pom. And on the other side fold the fabric over having measured the width of the cushion (in my case 34cm).
- Pin along the open edges where the fabric encases the pompoms and sew it over. As you sow, make sure the edge of the sewing machine foot is right along the trim's edge.

Then flip inside out and you'll have a beautiful cushion with cute little pom pom.♡
