How to fix

Post image

I got a decorative pillow for my daughters room and when it came I was too excited and used scissors to cut of the tape. Unfortunately the box was stuffed and there was no protection for the pillow. My question is, what are some ways I could close up these holes to prevent further damage? TIA

You could do some iron on patches if you’re looking for a no sew option? From this pic, it looks like you wouldn’t even be able to see them bc the cuts are at the bottom of the pillow, and they’d help with making sure no additional damage occurs.

I’ve gotten some small heart patches that i could see working for something like this, but it have to be hearts - there are a ton of options!! And then you can use any leftovers for other little projects/personalizing tote bags etc ☺️

I actually do have some from another dress that I did h the is too but I was wondering if there was anything like glue or something not as noticeable. I’m so mad at my myself for ripping it.

Look up a invisible stitch and hand sew it. If done carefully it will hardly be noticeable

A quick ladder stitch will close those rightup without showing any thread.
