I came across a few different placemats while out the other day and thought…those could make a couple cute pillows. I remembered I had a set of four I picked up at Goodwill for $1.50 over a year ago, that I have yet to use…I am unfortunately known for that. They are not nearly as cute as the others I saw but will do the trick! So I ripped the tag off those suckers and made’em into pillows!
Here’s what you’ll need to make 2 pillows…
1. 4 Placemats
2. Pillow fill
3. Hot glue gun and sticks
Now take one placemat and line it up on top of another.
Then, go along the edge of the bottom placemat (about 1/2'' from the edge) with hot glue.
Make sure you glue about 3-4 inches at a time then attach placemats together. (Or else glue will harden) Also, you may want to put something under the bottom placemat so the hot glue does not go through onto your table.
Next, you want to make sure you leave about 4-5'' opening, not glued and stuff with pillow fill.
Then when your done stuffing, continue to hot glue shut.
And thats that! You've got yourself new accent pillows!
Enjoy and have fun picking out your new accent pillows in the kitchen department!
Also, I am so excited to see that some of you have made the TP pumpkins from last week! You gals did a great job and I loved seeing the different fabric's you have chosen to make your pumpkins! Here are a couple...
Be sure to check back Thursday for the recipe of the week!
Happy Tuesday ladies!
