Puff braids on the pillow

Braiding is a popular and eye-catching pattern. Let's see how to make puffs on the pillow. First of all, you need to arm yourself:

• Paper for the template;
• With a pencil;
• Ruler;
• Scissors;
• Clerical knife;
• Fabric for pillows;
• Crayons or soap in order to make markings;
• Thread;
• Sewing needle;
• Sewing machine;
• Zipper, buttons or Velcro for pillows.

Work algorithm:

1. We cut out a template from paper, divide it into squares.
2. In squares, through one draw a diagonal, each next row should have a slope in the other direction.
3. For easier transfer of the pattern, you need to cut out the triangles that turned out to be redundant.
4. We use a stationery knife or small scissors to make internal slots.
5. From the fabric you need to cut a square with a side of 50 cm. We retreat eight centimeters from each side and draw lines. The template is embedded in the square remaining inside.
6. To draw the entire square, the template is shifted, and the marks are shifted down and to the right.
7. We draw lines that connect the edges of the canvas and the vertices of the diagonals.
8. From two sides of the diagonal we introduce a needle.
9. To fix the folds, we perform three or four stitches, fasten them with a knot, but we do not cut the thread in the same way - the next diagonal is sewn.
10. The pattern will clearly appear after two rows are ready.
11. All rows that have been marked out need to be fastened in a similar pattern.
12. The remaining tissue is collected in folds, the depth of which is approximately equal to two centimeters. For fastening, threads or pins are used.

Important! After collecting the folds, the pillow will decrease. Now its sides will be equal to 35 centimeters.

13. The base of the pattern is sewn with a square piece of fabric.
14. The back side of the pillow can be sewn up, and you can attach a zipper or buttons there so that at the right time the pillow can be removed from the cover.
15. Both parts of the pillow are sewn together, the processing of the slices can be performed manually or using an overlock.
16. We turn out the product.

Lambrequin with puffs

Original puffs decorate, not only pillows with their own hands, but also curtains. To make a beautiful pelmet, you need to correctly calculate the required amount of tissue. To do this, the length of the cornice is multiplied by 2.5.

Important! All squares to be drawn must be fully enclosed in the resulting length. If the number is not integer, more tissue should be taken.

Manufacturer's recommendations:

1. Paper patterns are made in the same way as a pillow with “braided” puffs, discussed above. Only the size of the squares will be different.
2. Assembly is also performed according to the above example.
3. The finished product is pulled together to the size that is needed, hung on the ledge, the folds are straightened.

4. We take the needle to the wrong side, tie a knot and stick it in the place where the next flower will be.
