Placemat Pillows...

  A while back a friend gave me this amazing idea to make simple pillows. All you need is table placemats that are double sided so that you can cut open the seam. It's so simple, and a very affordable way to get great accent pillows. Enjoy!


Finished Pillow....

Things you will need...

You can find poly-fil at any craft store. I found this huge bag of poly-fil at Walmart for eight dollars.

You can re-sew the edge that you cut, but I used this heat-n-bond tape to seal the edges back up. All you need is an iron to activate the heat tape.

I found these place mats at Big Lots for only $1.50. I got cheap ones the first time because I didn't know how good these would turn out. Just make sure again that they have two sides.

So here it is cut open & stuffed with poly-fil & ready to be sealed back together.

Finished two pillows on my bed. O, and here is the sneak peek of our furniture I re-did.

A teal pillow I made for our living room.

I hope you love this idea, let me know what you think! I am anxious to try this again with different fabric place mats. These are not my favorite, but pretty good for my first attempt! I might try sewing the next ones as well because the heat-n-bond was a little messy at times. Anyways, let me know if you try this!!!

Love Always,
