Pillow ideas

I would somehow love to recreate these potterybarn pillows. I just love them but could not see spending $39.99 on them. Lets see what I can do.




I also love Pink and Polka Dot's idea of turning old shirts into pillows, I am sure I have a ton of them laying around I could use to make my own.





Turning this....







Into this....

And of course if worse comes to worse I go buy some fabric and cut it in a square, sew it and stuff it. But so bland, I want something simple yet eye catching.
