Default need help on making a pillow for my finished needlepoint

Does anyone know of a youtube vid showing how to finish a pillow with ndlpt as a top? It doesn't' have to be fancy, but it would be nice to make it with an opening in the back for removal of the pillow form.

I used to go to a great interior dec shop where they'd do a nice professional job, but that was in another area and wasn't cheap, to boot.

Speaking of ndplt, I ran out of a certain shade of pale gray, so I mised a strand of white with a strand of the next shade of gray - and it worked ok. Tweed-y effect, but all right with me.

It's really not that difficult. Take two pieces of fabric a little
larger than half the width of the pillow. Hem one end. Overlap the
hemmed ends by an inch or two. There's your back opening. Center that
on the npt canvas, right sides together. Now take your sewing thread,
and sew around the edge of the npt stitching. Turn right-side-out.
Attach cording all around the edges. Voila.
