Cut the solid-color fabric into three pieces: a 17x17-inch front and two 10x17-inch back pieces. Cut the four ruffle fabrics into 2½x35-inch strips. You need nine of these.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Turn the 10x17-inch pieces wrong side up. Fold one of the 17-inch edges over 1/4 inch, then again 1/2 inch. Iron folds. Do this with one side of each piece. (This will be your finished edge and the opening to slip your pillow form into the sham.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. On each fabric strip, sew a gather stitch 1/4 inch from one long edge. Gather to be 17 inches long. Pin a gather strip onto the right side of the front piece, positioning it 5/8 inch up from the bottom. Sew, following the line of the gather stitch. Continue pinning and sewing on strips to within 3/8 inch of the top of the front piece.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Finish sewing the pillow sham. Lay the front piece ruffle side up and the back pieces right side down so they overlap slightly. Pin the outer edges and sew the pillow together with a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Turn right side out, iron, and stuff the pillow form into the sham. Finish by hand-stitching the opening closed.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcA_erNlbDbrXOSek_WEBkqlPlZ_U9GsFXBFNLs62cbd1PxJfpkRjPuP5MurJgEF01X3yVN3bDfQ44ZIfC_VoPD1lI43544W_XBz8UUsa6VlOfB1YSKCFox69NkCL5CgiX2kAtAcUlxmE-/s1600/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcA_erNlbDbrXOSek_WEBkqlPlZ_U9GsFXBFNLs62cbd1PxJfpkRjPuP5MurJgEF01X3yVN3bDfQ44ZIfC_VoPD1lI43544W_XBz8UUsa6VlOfB1YSKCFox69NkCL5CgiX2kAtAcUlxmE-/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Wall Art That Wows</b></span></span><br />In the <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://furniture4world.blogspot.com/search/label/Living%20Rooms">living room</a>, inexpensive frames around scraps of <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://furniture4world.blogspot.com/search/label/Wall%20decor">wallpaper</a> embellish the mantel.<br /><b>DIY Tip:</b> Try fabric, wrapping paper, or even linens for another twist on this budget friendly artwork.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzY1ibee-AQsfl4CGkWcJYHSYopOJGne3jU2-G5-U4cY1yK1DYh_22AsZch4m0RfJi7kvfKkTFqxqHAB8fLKxTKHJUJX0iAypq-0VAS-TnBSZURnOpQSh8jJilb53wu9eCNcq9ix1h0ze/s1600/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzY1ibee-AQsfl4CGkWcJYHSYopOJGne3jU2-G5-U4cY1yK1DYh_22AsZch4m0RfJi7kvfKkTFqxqHAB8fLKxTKHJUJX0iAypq-0VAS-TnBSZURnOpQSh8jJilb53wu9eCNcq9ix1h0ze/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>TV Time</b></span></span><br />To combat the cold, electronic look of her TV, the homeowner found an ornate frame that fit the room's feel.
