If you do, I suppose it would be super easy for you to sew these too.<br /><br />I needed a couple of pillows to brighten up my (fake and boring) Adirondack chairs on the porch, so I came up with this idea for a no-sew pillow that is weather resistant.<br /><br />With our temperamental weather, there's nothing worse than having to run outside and clear the porch every time it rains! So, I started with a cloth shower curtain that's been hagin' around for some time. (get it? hangin' around.)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItc_Z_xGujAW0V7CdtYI4kzv96lbeN62B_8nuY4LMUd_CfDup22PAu7M4IdHeRv2Z9MiRiWlF3-QlQnypB3r8Im_7-QQ4fuwQbnwFacPsRytwQLsuo8uq9NJMHp5gU3Rh-oC9BxMmkss/s1600/no+sew+outdoor+pillow+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="no-sew projects, no-sew pillow, no-sew outdoor pillow, diy pillows, outdoor decor" border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItc_Z_xGujAW0V7CdtYI4kzv96lbeN62B_8nuY4LMUd_CfDup22PAu7M4IdHeRv2Z9MiRiWlF3-QlQnypB3r8Im_7-QQ4fuwQbnwFacPsRytwQLsuo8uq9NJMHp5gU3Rh-oC9BxMmkss/s1600/no+sew+outdoor+pillow+5.jpg" title="" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I cut the fabric into two 18" squares, and placed them on top of one another, wrong side out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then I used the hot glue gun to glue around the edges, leaving about an inch of spare fabric. The last few inches I left open so that I could fit my hand in the gap.<br /><br /><i>(If you don't want to burn your fingers I would suggest you put a couple of band aids on, or a rubber thimble...

This pillow wasn't doing my neck any favors anyway... So I cut the fabric and pulled out the stuffing, to stuff the new pillow.<br /><br />If you don't have a spare pillow, WalMart sells cheap-o's for about $5.
