You can make all the pillows you just saw from one pillow that you will learn how to make.  From my final pillow I applied all kinds of effects by playing around and was able to make many variations from the one pillow.  I played with Enhance Edge, Sepia, Enamel, Colored Pencil, and many more.  For one I used Greyscale and then increased the image back to 16 million colors and brightened it.  For others I used Colorize.  To decorate I used both the Shapes and Tubes.  Each was placed on its own layer and had various Opacity levels.  So let's get to work and make your pillow.  The only part that is at all hard is the fringe.  If you haven't made your "blue" fringe yet from the rug making tutorial, go there to make that part.  Rug Making.

Open a new transparent image, 400x400.  Pick the basic color you want to work with.  You  will also need a lighter shade of that color.  Click on the Selection tool and choose the Rounded Rectangle.  Have your darker color on top and draw a square shape in the middle of your transparent image.  This layer will be your pillow base or bottom.  Flood fill with the darker color.

Add a new layer called pillow middle.  Drawn another square inside your first one and flood fill it with the lighter shade of your color.
