A couple of years ago I saw this idea on a blog and I've been wanting to try it ever since. If you get a lined placemat you can make it into a pillow super easy and it's very inexpensive. I found this placemat at Target and thought it would make a really pretty pillow.
It's lined AND it was on clearance. Bonus!
I got some soft batting to stuff into the placemat
Ripped a seam that was just big enough to stuff the batting into
I filled it to the fluffiness that I wanted and sewed it back up.
I don't have a sewing machine so I had to do it by hand.
And now I've got some super easy, cute and inexpensive pillows for my couch that I can brag about. :) It probably cost me about 5 bucks each to make these pillows, which, if you've ever been decorative pillow shopping, is less than half of what they would charge you in the stores.
LOVE it. I just bought the matching table cloth to make curtains for my kitchen. I just might make the same pillows you did for my living room :)
