20 Throw Pillows You Can Make That Are Perfect For Fall

This year, you can add some extra autumnal flair to your home by making decorative throw pillows. The best part is that you don't have to be a sewing expert to do it! Plenty of no-sew options are just as easy and look just as good. If you want to go the traditional route, there are plenty of fall-themed fabrics to choose from. Apples, pumpkins, leaves — you name it, somebody's probably made fabric with it. Or, if you're feeling a little more creative, you can always paint or stencil your design onto some plain fabric. 

Fall is the perfect time to cozy your home with homemade throw pillows. With some creativity, you can make some stylish pillows that will excite you in the cooler weather. According to Rapport Furniture, the ideal number of throw pillows on a couch is between three and five; let's get started so you can quickly begin shopping or DIYing!

If you love vintage farmhouse décor, this is one pillow you will enjoy creating. With some simple white fabric and cute graphics chosen and ironed on, you have yourself a simple yet sophisticated throw pillow. This is one pillow that will surely be a conversation piece. 

Start by taking some simple shag fabric and adding some handmade leaf cutout shapes. A sweet scarecrow dons one pillow sharing its warm welcome, along with some faux fall flowers attached with fabric glue. The other boasts a lovely swatch of buffalo plaid fabric, along with additional leaves added onto it. 

This pillow would make an excellent project for those who love to crochet or knit. Take some of your favorite yarn colors associated with fall, and create a beautiful throw pillow cover. This one has pumpkins, but you can choose to crochet in other shapes, like an apple or a gourd. 

Autumn is sweater weather, after all! If you have a sweater that you want to upcycle, make a pillow out of it. You can grab a plain pillow and cut parts of the sweater to fit it. Once you have it all lined up, simply sew the sweater pieces over the pillow. 

One thing that nearly everyone thinks of when they hear fall is coming is, of course, Halloween. These adorable throw pillows are pretty inexpensive to make, using dollar store treat bags. Add a stem and some leaves, and you have yourself pumpkins. You could upcycle your child's old treat bags to breathe new life into them. 

If you enjoy sewing, chances are you have a lot of extra fabric and never know what you can make from fabric scraps. This cute candy corn pillow is filled with shades of oranges, yellows, and white patterned swatches. It's almost like a small quilt project, putting it all together.

This mixed media pillow is perfect for adding dimension and visual interest to your couch or chairs. It is created using burlap, wool, corduroy, and hemp. You can cut out the pumpkin's shape using the burlap and sew it on. Create a stem and attach the adorable handcrafted tag that says "fall."  

There is something magical about bringing pumpkin décor into your home, and it solidifies the arrival of fall. This pillow is hand-painted in a beautiful orange color, deep green for the foliage, and dark chocolate brown for the stem. Do this using a pillow you already have, or grab one from your local craft store.

Nothing is better than cuddling with something soft, like this pumpkin throw pillow. It was created using chunky-knit yarn and then knitted together in the shape of a pumpkin. Try out different yarn colors and make a patch of pumpkins for your couch! 

During fall, we enjoy bonfires and wear cozy flannels on chilly days. This pillow expresses those things. It is created with painter's canvas fabric and adorable little plaid leaves. We also love how the words printed onto it give it an expressive touch.
