No-Sew Pouf
The latest trends on HGTV and in home decor stores are the use of woven pillows and floor poufs in boho style home decor. Many of these floor poufs are made with heavy woven fabrics, like rugs, and cost $60 or more. So when I found some cheap boho style rugs, I knew I could make some no-sew giant floor cushions using my favorite Surebonder glue gun. Keep reading and watch the video to learn how to make no-sew floor poufs!
This shop has been compensated by Surebonder. All opinions are mine alone.
If you’re curious (or in a hurry)…
It’s an excellent brand glue gun and yet, you’ll also find that it is one of the cheapest options you’ll find online.
No Sew DIY floor Pillows
I’m using my favorite glue gun from Surebonder in this tutorial which is a mini cordless glue gun with a detailed tip. I also used a full-size dual temperature glue gun for this project to finish off the seam so it gives a stronghold if someone were to jump on these cushions.
I’m using a clear glue stick from Surebonder with the cordless mini glue gun so the initial application of glue doesn’t show on the fabric seam. You don’t want globs of glue showing… you want it to look like you sewed the fabric and that’s exactly what the Surebonder clear glue and the detailed tip glue gun does for this project. Surebonder also has a fabric glue state that you can use, but the clear sticks work fine.
I used 3 scatter rugs found at my local Five Below store, 6 old throw pillows, and 2 old bath towels. Alternatively, you can use pillow stuffing, old blankets, or foam. I chose to recycle some old pillows that I had since I’ve collected throw pillows over the years and the hubby always complains that we have too many pillows, LOL.

Floor Pillow Tutorial
I’m including a detailed video below sharing how to make DIY No Sew Floor Pillows.
Let’s get started so you can see how easy and affordable it is to make these popular rug floor poufs!
DIY Tutorial to Make No Sew Floor Poufs
If you want to learn how to make cheap floor pillows with a no-sew method, make sure to follow my tips below! I use 2 different glue guns to achieve these no-sew rug pillow covers and I include glue gun tips after the tutorial.
Supplies:
- Cordless Mini Glue Gun
- Full-Size High Temp Glue Gun
- Clear Mini Glue Sticks
- Tough Stik Glue Sticks
- (3) Scatter Rugs (mine are 20″ x 32″)
- (6) Throw Pillow Inserts
- (2) old bath Towels
- Scissors
- Finger Protectors (to prevent glue gun burns on fingertips)
Directions:
- Gather Supplies.
- Place 2 of the rugs together, right-sides together, and glue the outside edges. Make sure the seam is completely glued and you don’t have gaps or holes. I used this high-temperature full-size glue gun and the tough stick glue stick as a second step to adhere the seam together with a strong bond.
- Flip the glued rugs right-side out. What I did next is a little trick that I did when I was making some cushions for our Pop Up camper recently.
- Create a fake seam by folding a little crease on the end and then glue it together. Once the folded area flue is dry, you can spread it apart and it looks as if there’s a seam there 🙂 This is a sewing hack that I did when I was sewing our camper cushions and it worked out really well. I didn’t have to cut the fabric and there wasn’t a big mess trying to sew a million pieces together.
- Once you have all 4 of those corners glued together, you can start stuffing your pouf. One side is going to be open while you’re working on the other side.
- I just started putting my pillows inside with the other end open on the table. I used 18-20 inch sized throw pillows.
- Take the third rug and cut it in half.
- Glue the third rug half to the top of the pouf (glue all 4 sides). I ended up cutting a little strip off the end and you can actually use that little strip as a little pull handles on the sides of your pouf if you want to. I chose to skip that step, but you can add something extra to the pouf using those strips 🙂
- Flip the pouf over and glue the remaining third rug half to the pouf, but this time, only glue 3 sides. Remember, the pouf is still inside out.
- Remove all the pillows through the one opening you left unglued.
- Flip the pouf right-side-out to reveal the cute little poof case that you created.
- Make sure all the corners are completely closed and there are no gaps or holes.
- Restuff the pouf. I used 6 throw pillows on each side so it wasn’t lumpy on the sides but it gave it a smooth appearance. I put 2 old towels in the center of all the pillows. Once I was finished with the towels in the middle, I put a pillow on top as well. So again, there’s a pillow on each side.
- Lastly, fold down the material in the opening that you left and glue the ends to close the seam.
These poufs ended up costing $9.00 each to make so they are really affordable to DIY 🙂
And I also made a huge Boho pillow below using the same rugs and my Surebonder Cordless Mini Glue Gun. I stuffed the “rug pillow” with some blankets that I had sitting around the house which gave it a natural slouchy appearance. Doesn’t it look beautiful?!

A Note About Using High-Temperature Glue Guns
High-temperature glue guns should be used with caution and children should not use high-temperature glue guns.
I highly recommend wearing finger protectors when using glue guns to protect your fingers from burns. Do not use your hands to hold glued items together or you could sustain burns on your hands as well.
A detailed tip on a glue gun makes application easier and in my opinion, might reduce the chance for burns.

How to pick the right paint colors
Have you ever had trouble picking the right paint colors for your home? Choosing the right paint colors for your home can be overwhelming. There are so many different “whites” and “grays” these days, how can anyone know they are making the right paint color choice?
That’s why I put together the best tips on How to Choose Interior Paint Colors in this post.
Every home is different… the entryway in our first home was much different than the entryway in our second home, and both of those were very different from the entryway in our third home! So I chose a different paint color for each entryway in all three of our homes. Not to mention, from the time that we bought our first home, to the time that we bought our third home, home paint color trends changed drastically. The colors that I used back then are no longer a trendy color and well, I just didn’t like the brown-ish tan that was in our first home, haha.
So if you need help choosing paint colors for the rest of your home, head on over to this post to see my paint-picking tips and what has worked for me in all three of our homes 🙂 My post with how to choose paint colors for your home is one of my most popular posts and readers have benefited from reading it before heading to the store to buy paint that ends up not working out.
I also have some ideas for choosing paint color combinations for bedrooms (with themes!)
Paint Versus Peel & Stick Wallpaper
Peel and stick wallpaper has become very popular recently since not everyone has access to tools to build their own Shiplap walls (thanks Chip and Joanna) or wants to tile an entire wall with subway tile. I love tiling but if I could slap up some wallpaper and call it a day, that would make me, the hubby, and my wallet happy!
You can find peel and stick wallpaper online at Target, Amazon, Home Depot, and more! I’ve linked my favorite peel and stick wallpaper and the ones I’ve used personally below.
