How to Make Photo Pillows? In the digital age, it’s rare to have photo albums anymore, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still love the idea of keeping photos. There are more ways than ever now to display your favorite memories, and one of the most unique is making a photo pillow.
This is a great project for using up smaller pieces of fabric that you might not know what to do with. You can make a photo pillow in just a couple of hours!
These are also a great option if you want something homey, cozy and personal as a gift for someone special. They’re fairly easy to make and cost effective.
They’re great options for home décor or as gifts because they’re something that people don’t typically buy for themselves but enjoy having once they do. So let’s get started on this tutorial and learn how to make photo pillows!
Printing photos on an old t-shirt or pillowcase
Using a printer, you can print photos on an old t-shirt or a pillowcase. Just make sure to use a photo that’s at least 18×18 inches and with the correct resolution. This way, you can ensure that the photo pillow fills out nicely. Alternatively, you can use Photoshop Elements to combine multiple photos and crop them to fit the pillow form.
Once you’ve chosen a picture, print it onto the transfer paper. Make sure to choose the mirror image if you want any text to be in the photo. Next, you’ll need to stitch the image onto the pillowcase. Make sure to keep the text and design visible on the printed photo. If you’d like to include text on the pillow, you can choose the mirror image option.
Using Photoshop Elements to print photos on a pillowcase
If you want to print your own photos on a pillowcase, you’ll need to create a large-format photo with high-resolution. The file size should be large enough to fit an 18-inch pillow cover. Next, crop the photo into a square shape. For best results, the photo resolution should be at least 150 dpi. If possible, crop the people in the photo so that their faces are in the center.
Once you’ve done this, you’re ready to create your pillowcase. To do this, you need to select the focal image on your computer. Then, select the photo transfer and place it on the right side of the fabric. Make sure that the image is centered and does not overlap the pillow case. Then, use a sewing machine to stitch the front and back pieces together, leaving one side open for stuffing.
Sewing a pillowcase with a photo
Before you begin, it’s important to make sure that the pillow case you’re creating is the right size for the pillow insert. You can use a photo app to create a collage, or you can just print one image and tile it across the pillow pane. The photo should be of a good resolution, with the faces in the center. Also, keep in mind that the photo you’re using should be as large as the pillow insert itself.
The next step is to print the image and then attach it to the fabric. Be sure to wash the fabric before printing it, as this will help the ink adhere properly to the fabric. Another option is to use an old pillowcase that you’ve already created, such as an old t-shirt. To make a pillowcase out of this material, first cut the old pillowcase in half. Then, using a sewing machine, stitch 3 sides closed. Leave one open side for stuffing.
Conclusion
A photo pillow is a unique way to show off your favorite pictures. You can make your own photo pillows by taking a set of pictures and then printing them on fabric. You can use a variety of fabrics to create the perfect pillow. After you have photographed the pictures, you can iron the prints onto the fabric.
Once ironed, you can insert the pillow into a frame. The frames are not mandatory, you can use a single photo as your pillow. The next step to making a photo pillow is to get some fabric from your local fabric store. You can also get the fabric online. Use the fabric to create your pillow.
Once you have an appropriate amount of fabric, cut it into pieces. You will also need some batting and stuffing for your pillow. Finally, sew the pieces together, and fill the pillow with the stuffing.
