Easy Project – DIY Pillows!
I need, need, NEEDED new throw pillows. Mine were not good, not good at all. They made me sad. Well, sad may be a little dramatic, but they did really need to go away. Forever.
Pillows are expensive, friends. They are sometimes a little over the top expensive. What if you get tired of the $75 pillow you just bought at Pottery Barn? Then what? Too bad, I guess, you just have to live with it. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Pottery Barn! I love getting their catalog, and I pore over every page, and take in every detail. Sometimes, I even cut out pictures of rooms and arrangements I love and save them in a little folder. Ahh, I feel better for having told you that.
Anyways, I saw on a crafty blog where someone had taken two very cute napkins and sewed them together, and it was a beautiful thing. But, alas, I absolutely cannot am opposed to sewing (because I can’t do it). So, I found these super cute and wonderful place mats at Crate and Barrel, and the luck! They have two sides to them!Â
Being the no sew girl I am, these are perfect! The work is done for you, people! I picked out a little of the seam, stuffed them with the batting from the hideous, previously mentioned pillows, and viola! New pillows!

I particularly am drawn to the round one…so beautiful! Great job, Janell
@cheapchichome. Nice job! I have done this same thing before (and I AM a sewer). I did it because Target had Waverly placemats to match bedding I had purchased. Good thinking.
Wow, good work! I can't sew at all. These are pretty pillows.
Oh so pretty! Doesn't that small pop of fun make such a statement in a room?My son is adopted so I can relate to the 'wait'. My wait was 7 years and worth every single minute. Feel free to email me to shoot the breeze on the topic if you ever desire!Thanks for joining my linky party!Funky Junk Donna
