With my limited sewing skills, I have recently been turned onto making pillows. To date my biggest challenge has been closing the seam. I've tried hand-stitching the seam shut, but decided I didn't like the final look. For me fabric glue works best!
I love the texture of felt pillows, so I decided I would try and make my own. Off to Hobby Lobby I went to purchase some felt. I bought 8 pieces, but only used 2 for this project. I used natural muslin for the actual pillow.
I cut a bunch of semicircles and arranged them in a pattern to my liking. Then attached them to the pillow with fabric glue.
I used leftover fabric and a button to add a couple of leaves and embellish the middle. I love the way it turned out. This was a very simple and inexpensive project to make. I've been thinking of making similar pillows to give away as gifts.

I really love the greyish felt. And the cushion is lovely.
Did you make the button one next to it as well?
Hi Sarah! Thanks for the compliment!!!! I did not make the button pillow. I purchased it from Pier One Imports years ago! I bet it would be pretty easy to make though.
This is awesome!!!

Thanks Kristin! and thank-you for visiting!!!
Brandi - I love you pillow!!! It looks so cute. I am definitely saving this idea to make sometime soon. I bought felt last week at HL too - I couldn't believe that it was 4 for $1 and then it was 40% off!
The pillow is wonderful...love it!!
Wow.... awesome pillow. I'm super impressed.
Good Job on the pillow, Brandi!!! Mommy would be so proud of you... KEEP IT UP!
Very cute!! I've never tried anything fancy on a pillow before, all these cute flowers are inspiring me. And closing the pillow? I just do an envelope closure so I don't have to mess with that stuff because I don't have the patience to make a handstitch look nice. But then, I'm not super duper crafty!!
very cute!
Great job! I love the felt flower!
I like your design! And I think it would make a great gift.

I love this pillow! I love the addition of the fabric leaves and center embellishment. It adds another layer to an already gorgeously textured pillow!

Do you have some tips on how to decorate a pillowcase without sewing?
I have a couple of pillowcases and I am doing this with my two year old.
We have no sewing skills at all :)
