When making decorative pillows using store bought pillow forms, I have found the pillow is easier to push into the decorative cover, if you leave the plastic covering on the pillow while pushing it in.
I tear a small hole in the plastic on the side I am pushing in, so when the pillow is in the cover and adjusted, I can simply pull on the plastic and it will tear away and come out.
The slippery plastic cover makes the pillow go into the sham a whole lot easier, especially if you have a small opening to get the pillow into.
Fantastic Idea!!!!!

What a great idea, and I just finished doing an
Always Kiss Me Goodnight pillow for my sister and brother in law. I will have to try it the next time.
Thanks for sharing a great idea.

Yes, and if you have large sofa pillows to recover, put them in a dry cleaner bag, stuff it, then remove the bag. It works very well!

This is the greatest idea. Also like the sofa cushion idea with the dry cleaner bags.

You can also use a scarf. Those with the really slick surface work great, and, you don’t have to tug to get out, it just slips right away.
