Mudcloth mania has hit the design world, and we completely understand the obsession. Plopping a mudcloth pillow on a bed, sofa, chair, or bench is an easy way to add instant bohemian flair. There's nothing quite like the texture and unique subtleties of authentic mudcloth, but it does come with a price. If you can't splurge on a legit piece of mudcloth but still crave the look, you'll want to DIY [1] one of these versions ASAP.

Use a Sharpie

Jen from City Farmhouse [2] used a sharpie and a paint swatch to create clean angles on her DIY mudcloth pillows [3]. She also found a super affordable resource for plain white pillowcases!

Use a Bleach Pen

Erin at Earnest Home Co. [4] used linen napkins and a bleach pen to create her DIY mudcloth pillows [5]. If you're looking for a dark version to add contrast to a room dominated by pale paint and light fabrics, this one is for you.

Use a Potato Stamp

Shelley from Crazy Wonderful [6] created her DIY mudcloth pillows [7] by sewing seams into plain white pillowcases and marking them with an easy-to-make potato stamp. So clever!
