Hi there friends! It’s that time of year when we hit our favorite stores in search of the perfect outdoor accessories. After a LONG winter we are ready to make this entertaining season one to remember. Am I right?! I don’t know about you but I have a difficult time trying to find the right outdoor pillows. They all seem a little stiff and generic. Well, I have a solution and an easy way to make your own outdoor pillows!

Make Your Own Outdoor Pillows The Easy Way-With H & M Pillow CoversI have a closet full of pillow covers from Etsy, H & M, West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc.. It is an easy way to update and fresh up a look from season to season without breaking the bank. So how can we take these pillow covers and make them outdoor proof? With one simple product, Rust-Oleum’s Never Wet.

I bought pillow covers for this project from H & M, they have very inexpensive options that are on trend. I also picked up this cute fern lumbar pillow from Pottery Barn Outlet.

It’s very simple! First, be sure to do this outdoors with gloves and a mask. Use a plastic drop cloth and be sure to keep away from children & pets while drying.

  1. Do you know how Never Wet works on chair cushions that people will be sitting on? Will chair cushions become too stiff or slick to be comfortable? Thank you.

    1. Hi Bonnie, the fabric actually feels the exact same after the application, which is great! Its meant for any outdoor use and it wouldn’t feel different as far as my experience goes. Good luck! Jen

  2. Great idea! Do you know if it will protect from discoloration and fading from the sun? Normal fabrics actually fade pretty quickly…even cheaper outdoor fabrics do. Thanks!

  3. Love that you tried this product, I have it pinned in my Pinterest account. What did you fill the pillows with? can you buy outdoor filling or can any filling work?

    1. Hi Charlene, I have used both but the poly holds up best, especially with any moisture and humidity. Good Luck!! Jen

  4. I have used this product for about 4 years. I love it ! I have sprayed all my pillows and out door cushions with it and it really works ! No more trying to guess what the weather will bring when I am out. No more bringing everything in at night . The water from precipitation or dew just beads up and dries in the morning sunshine with no evidence that there was ever a moisture issue.

    1. That is awesome to hear! I bought this last year but never used it. Do you feel you need to reapply at any point through the season?
