Gather cord or lace for the pillow border. Match the colors throughout this project.

Purchase or make a heart shape pillow. Creamy white or pastel colors are best for a Victorian effect.

Purchase enough matching fabric roses to cover one side of the pillow. Remove the stem and leaves; leaving the bud under the rose.

Place cording or lace around the pillow's edge to create a finished border and hide any buds, glue, stitching, etc.

Underneath the rose glue the bud sparingly or sew the bud onto the pillow. The petals are not glued or stitched.

Crowd the roses together to make the petals stand fuller. Present your beautiful Victorian rose pillow on a bed, chair or shelf.
