If you have seen synthetic fiber cushion, you must have wanted to cuddle them or throw your head on it and sleep all day. The texture is smooth and soft, and defiantly a must have in your home. If you want to own such a pillow, you can make one for yourself. The thought of making it could seem frustrating. However, with these useful tips, you will be able to put together your faux fur pillows making simple and fun.

The first step is choosing a fur of your choice. There are a variety of colors that are available in the market.

If you are doubtful of what color to select, pick your favorite and you are bound to have fun while creating a beautiful cushion.

Before you start off, you are required to choose the design and shape that you want. However, with fur you have to make the design as simple as possible. Pleats are going to disappear on the fabric. At the same time seem lines will make the material seem overdone. To formulate it just right use simple shapes and the end product will be something beautiful.

Cut out the design of your choice, this can be taught if you are not too accurate with the scissors. To help you out you can draw the outline on the back of the fabric and use this to cut out. Make sure the design is right because when you cut it out, that is the design that must be used.

To make fine and accurate cutting, you need to use a sharp object. When you use a sharp object, the chances are that you will leave the fur being intact rather than wasting too much of it. Blunt objects are going to require you use force, and this will lead to the reduction of the fur.

Ensure that have a vacuum cleaner that works when you are making this fabric. This is a must if the plan is making many pillows. Keep in mind that synthetic fur shades a lot and it is likely to mess up your home. At the same time it is not easy to clean this is the reason that you need to have a vacuum cleaner to help you out.

Sewing on fur can be a bit hectic, especially if you do not know how to go about it. To make it easy for you, stitch in the direction that the nap of the fur flows. Unlike other fabrics, with fur you need to use a large needle preferable on that is 90 or bigger so that it can make the stitching easy. When sewing you need to use long stitches.

Before you start sewing, find something to smoothen the coat fibers. In the direction that the nap flows through. You can use something like a credit card by sliding it to the direction that the seam line flows to. Then you can start your stitching and make your cushion.
