Here’s the complete tutorial. Follow each step and you’ll have your own unique messy bow pillow wrap!

  1. Grab an old pillow and remove the insert or purchase a new pillow insert of whatever size you like.
  2. Take the canvas pillow cover and position your stencil in the position of your choice.
  3. Apply the fabric ink and let dry.
  4. Cut approx 1/4-1/2″ strips of your favorite material or ribbon. This does not have to be exact. Don’t forget your burlap!
  5. Layer your strips in all directions.

  7. Shake the bow holding the floral wire as a handle.
  8. Stuff your pillow insert back into the canvas cover.

  11. Add bling to the messy bow if desired.
