Inspired by green grass blades, decorative pillows help create a gorgeous oasis in your bedroom, family room, kitchen nook or living room or add the nature inspired decorating theme to your kids interior decorating ideas.

For making a decorative pillow with green grass blades you will need green fabrics (cotton or cotton-polyester fabric) in three different dark and light green colors, a pillow, craft paper, chalk, scissors, pins, a sewing machine and an iron.

Tips for making decorative pillows with green grass blades

1. Three different shades of green fabric help create natural looking grass blades. Different dark and light green color shades give a graphic appearance to decorative pillows, creating amazing three dimensional decorating design.

2. Prepare grass blade templates. Find a photo of green grass and create a template. Transfer the shape onto the fabric. Fold each grass blade and sew, so it will look three-dimensional.

3. Rold a piece of fabric diagonally for creating flexible, natural looking and soft grass blades. Try to create slightly different grass blades for more realistic look, making folds and exploring various shapes.

5. Use pins to fix grass blades to the fabric for a pillow cover one after another, then sew them.

6. Reverse side of the decorative pillow cover canbe made of the same fabric or fabric in darker green color.
