How to make a pillow using a placemat

June 1, 2017

 

My love for pillows is pretty strong and this idea had me at hello. I especially LOVE this idea during Halloween and Christmas when festive placemats are everywhere and easy to find.  An added bonus-placemats are normally pretty inexpensive.  I (of course) got mine at World Market and they normally have a pretty good selection.

Go out and find yourself a cute placemat, just make sure it has two sides that are sewn together. Take out about 5 inches of stitching…just enough to get your hand through

If you already have a pillow insert you’d like to use you can open the stitching up all of the way and stuff the pillow insert in.  For these little projects I like to use polyfill.  I normally have a giant bag of it on hand. Start stuffing until you get your placemat nice and full

How to make pillowI’ll  be honest, I have made a few of these where I pretty much stopped at this point after my placemat was stuffed BUT if you want to be a perfectionist you’ll need to sew up your opening.  And let’s be honest again, I don’t sew unless it’s a life or death emergency.  I’m a huge fan of this stuff..

And done!

Say hello to your new pillow…
