15 No Sew Home Decor Projects

By Manuela Williams

Have you ever wanted to use some pretty fabric you found but decided against it because you either can’t sew or didn’t want to sew? That’s not a problem with no-sew projects! Instead of using the traditional needle and thread, you can use hot glue, staples, Mod Podge, and several other products/techniques! Check out these 15 no sew home decor projects and make something pretty!

10 No Sew Home Decor Projects. Have you ever wanted to use some pretty fabric you found, but decided against it because you either can't sew or didn't want to sew? That's not a problem with no-sew projects!

I confess,  straight line sewing isn’t hard, and there are lots of things you can make if you can sew a straight line.  But I often don’t want to mess with setting up my machine (because invariably, I never have the right color thread in the bobbin)! Isn’t it great that we have the option of using all those fabulous fabrics out there to make something one of a kind for our homes…with NO SEWING!

15 No Sew Home Decor Projects

  • Prewash your fabric. To avoid shrinkage, prewash your fabric before you begin your project. It also helps stop your dyes from bleeding.
  • Iron your fabric. Ironing your fabric before you begin helps you get straight, crisp cuts and folds. The wrinkles are gone and will help create a better project.
  • Get very sharp scissors. You want straight cuts and sharp edges to make your projects crisp and beautiful.

    Hello ~ I’m visiting from the Pinworthy Projects Link Party. I love these ideas! I’m learning to sew, but I’m not very good at it yet, so no-sew is often a better option. I especially love the table runner with the pom pom trim. I’m strangely obsessed with poms poms lately! :0) Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

    Thanks for sharing on the Wake Up Wednesday link party!
    We hope to see you next week!
