Pottery Barn Inspired No-Sew Fall Wreath Pillow

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Pottery Barn Inspired Fall Wreath PillowI’m excited because it’s time for our no-sew group to showcase some fun and easy ideas for you…and this time it’s all about fall! And what says fall more than colorful leaves arranged in a wreath! And…you know me…I decided to put them on a pillow, of course!



Pottery Barn Pillow I was inspired by Pottery Barn’s fall leaf embroidered wreath pillow. I love the soft hues of the leaves but I have to say I’m pretty traditional and an all-out orange kinda gal when it comes to fall. And I thought the monogram in the center was a little too fussy for me as well.

Baby Kitty So Baby Kitty and I put our heads together and came up with a way to create our own version that’s super easy and super inexpensive because you know how cheap thrifty I am!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Fall Wreath Pillow supplies Here’s what you will need:
  • Plain pillow cover (Mine came from Hobby Lobby at $3.00 with a coupon)
  • Decorative fall leaves (Also from Hobby Lobby at $4.80 on sale)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Aluminum foil
  • Plate or circle to trace as a guide
  • Tin snips or scissors
  • Pillow form (Mine is down and came from Goodwill for under $3.00)

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Fall Wreath Pillow tutorial And here’s what you will do:
  1. Using the plate as a guide, center it on the pillow cover and trace around it with a pencil. Important: Once you have traced your circle, place aluminum foil inside the pillow cover, covering it entirely, to prevent the hot glue from going through to the other side and gluing the cover together.
  2. Prepare the leaves by removing the plastic ribbing on the back. I found it easier if I made a little cut in the center, being careful to cut only the plastic, and then peeled it off from each direction. This will allow the leaves to lie flat. (Note: I only used the smaller leaves in the package that I bought.)
  3. Using the circle that you traced as your guide, place the leaves in a pattern that pleases you.
  4. Gently lift the leaves one at a time and glue in place. You may need to go back when you have finished to be sure that they are all attached.

I love the richness of the fall colors in the leaves! It adds just the perfect hint of fall without being too much. And…best of all…it was soooo easy and inexpensive and didn’t require me to sew one stitch!

  5. What a great idea, I have some natural canvas which will work fine for a pillow. Now if I can find some leaves I'm ready to go. That may be a challenge in these parts.

  6. Very clever Debbie, I may just have to copy that because it would look so good in my living room.

  9. Beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. Oh, and thanks for the hint to put aluminum behind the front of the pillow cover to prevent them gluing together. I probably would have glued mine together without even thinking about it! ;)
