I used orange satin circles in varying sizes and heat sealed (I burned them with a tea light!) them so that they wouldn't fray to create the flower. Tip: All synthetic materials can be burned so that they don't fray. I prefer serging if the edges won't be seen, but burning gives a great edge effect and rolls the satin slightly inward. The more you burn, the more it rolls. I'll put up a tutorial on how to make the satin flower (I can't explain without pictures...it just doesn't seem to do the ease justice!). The middle is a coordinating button with the colors of the pillow fabric.
The fabric is an outdoor fabric that I got at JoAnn's. Although it says it should be dry-cleaned, it can be put into the washer on gentle or hand-washed. I put it in with my blankets to wash.
I also used this awesome tutorial from Cottage Magpie, although I didn't use the ruffles on the outside, for the actual casing.
Here are the finished results. I'm making some of my own to match my furniture, so I'll get a pic of what they looked like stuffed. And the envelope enclosure on the back.
